OEM Front Lip. Sometimes I like the CR Lip, but only on cars with a bunch of other aero parts.

I bought a new one and had a clear bra put on before installing. Pricey at the end of the day but worth it, considering my commute is mostly highway and I tend to tailgate

I don't even know what that is

Ap2 oem is best obviously but there are options on Ebay that fit really well especially with oem toyota or Honda weatherstrip applied.

I personally don't like the lip but to each their own. Also, I wouldn't be able to get up my driveway if I had one so that contributes quite a lot to why I don't have a lip.

that's the ONLY reason not to get it. The car looks so much more aggressive with it.

Eh, I like the look without it but that's just me. IMO the rear lip spoiler is all the car needs to have that timeless look.

Not allowed in my area. Impedes drainage. They'll take them out and fine you for having them.

Yup. Almost all of them have the drain holes, still not allowed.

get it in addition to...see if it is what you are making it out to be in your head...
then sell the NSX. You would miss the S2000 too much.

I couldn't answer that question because I've never owned an NSX.
but our very own Bob here and a local acquaintance have and they both said they missed their S2000. So there must be something...

LOL...NSX will also never get identified accidentally as an exotic car.
The new one does drive very nicely though...

Missing it and regretting it are different things. I miss my old E46 BMW but I don't regret selling it one bit.

I'd suggest going on NSXPrime and finding a member in your area, and asking them. That, or, find one for sale, pretend to be seriously interested and go drive it

I've driven both the NSX and s2000.... both are fun and nice for their individual reasons, but it'd be a cold day in hell for me to take the lesser car, willingly, if I had the option to go with either, unless it solely came down to money

I'll take torque and an 8k redline, over no torque and an 8/9k redline

And with the T-tops removed and windows down, you get much of the convertible effect.

Though I do like the interior of the s2000 more, even if it is smaller... the door cards and seats are much nicer. The NSX is only marginally larger than the s2000... For me, it's I can't fit in one, and can barely fit in the other

No. Sell it. Just, like, cut and run. Price it way below market so you can offload it quickly and then fill the garage void. This is the best way and the smartest decision.

He can call you all you want, but you still need money to buy the car. You should be saving for your kids college fund(s)!!!
