I'd scrape the crap out of a lip like that

Looks great though!

Still mulling it over. Hard to justify a purchase right now when it would sit in the garage for the next 4 months.

My truck warns me of icy roads every morning and evening. Not exactly S2K weather...

It makes it about half an inch lower. Not that bad, but I don't think it'll clear the parking curbs anymore. I'm also getting the coastal metals splitter, which is really a bumper protector, and will look like this:

Wind noise isn't bad, it's mostly engine noise that you hear

Any other crazy people driving in the winter?

No snow for me on the roads, just water. I can't give up my S2000 for a season

It's my only car. I'll have to make due. Haven't taken it out in snow yet, but I do want to bring it to an empty parking lot

Here's mine as of 12/16, when I stored it after a great fall with surprisingly good and warm weather here in C-town.

The Toyo 4s hold up well in the cold weather, staying reasonably pliable Quite happy with them.

I was rocking summer-only tires when I had the S2000 in the snow.

I'm not all that active in the Car Talk portion of the site, but have you guys seen the apparent S2000 concept? Here's a link: http://jalopnik.com/5971528/honda-st...d?popular=true

Sigh. Please just stop it, Honda.

New body kits for the discontinued S2000 simply won't cut it.

They seriously need Soichiro to come back from the dead.....or maybe, have Bob Lutz on retainer. They really need a "car guy" to ocassionally p*ss off (and maybe p*ss on) the engineers and designers at Honda.

They need a new design that'll incorporate the newer requirements such as increase emissions standards, side-impact safety and pedestrian 'compatibility' collision (that one always cracks me up)

I'll write a check when it happens.

Scraped it a bit today, though it's on the bottom and isn't noticeable

This is not gonna be good when I get my suspension installed...

Too cold here and the roads are covered in salt from all the snow we've gotten.

No salt here, just gravel here and there. I had to keep it easy on some of the corners, but the top being down made up for it.

holy crap why haven't I seen this? What an awful naming convention too. Rather than Module Climax, it should be the Modulo Flaccid. Nothing inspiring about that design...

Snow? Salt? Cold? I am unfamiliar with these strange words you are using.

Didn't expect anyone to pick up the GT-FRZ86 in the other pic! Pic from the other side, with S2k content to keep this on topic:
