Thanks boys...
and yes, spacers were removed until I was sure about the ride height and not damaging the fenders...I do need to roll the fronts and relocate the rear tabs if I'm going to put the 15/20 back on.

Bird is the Word
Wow, looks great Jeremy! The little bit of extra drop makes a huge difference. I bet it handles even better now with a nice set of coils compared to the springs.
I think I'm in the minority here, but I don't like the ASpecs on the Honda 2000. Maybe it's the bigger tires throwing off the look? I think those cars look better with some sort of multispoke wheel. The OEM wheels look right at home on your car.

thanks Adam, very much.
Honestly, I was torn...my instant reaction is that it looks awesome, but when I look at it over and over again, it does look slightly large and out of place. I'm not sure whether or not I'll go on the mission of having them drilled out and getting hubcentric rings. We shall see, I actually really love the ap2v2 wheels.

You think you're hot shit don't you??
Well you are.
Car looks great. A weekend car should have more drama and I think you're doing a good job of that.
Have you thought about taking off the lip kit? Personal opinion, but I think it'd look cleaner without it. Especially lowered.

Come here and get a hug, Steven. 
Not exactly, sir, in these final shots, the FRONT has no spacer and the rear has only the 15MM spacer. I rolled front fenders and put the 15MM back on and today I'll relocate bumper tab on rear and get the 20's put back on.
and I love you, Kokonutz.
Listen, I'm still waiting for you to join me and get another friggin S.
And I'm in love back!
NEVER! I am certainly not hot sh*t...I'm just a guy that isn't lazy, that is mildly obsessive with a garage and lots of tools...
Thanks Aman...Honestly, no way...what made me fall in love with it was the front lip to begin with. I wouldn't remove it unless I destroyed it beyond recognition.
Thank you, my friend.

Hey, J...I'm going to preface this to say I'm no expert at photography but, I'm not sure I like the last 3 shots you posted. Don't particularly care for the garbage bin in the 3rd pic and find the S2K a bit too low in your photo for the first 2...?

Soon, my friend...soon.
...
Seriously...honestly, I didn't really study WHY I didn't "love" that set but you pretty much nailed it. My favorite was the far away one with the brick building in it's entirety. I didn't really like the rest.
Something to focus on...where the subject is in the frame.
you snow it!

Was a busy beaver last 2 nights...
Monday: Rolled front fenders, and trimmed liner...added the 15MM spacers back on.
Tuesday: Relocated bumper support screw and cut not in fender/bumper, adjusted rear bumper and lowered preload on rear (since maxed) to even out the drop.
This car is a lot of work, but once done, you can't tell and my fenders are in perfect shape still.

You should know that every time you post photos I encounter a set of serious dilemmas.
1) Which one should I make my cover photo on Facebook?
2) Which one should I set as the screensaver for my lock-screen?
3) Which one should I set as the background for my iphone when it's unlocked?
4) Why did I sell my S2000?
5) How soon can I get rid of this G37? Lol
Much feels. So fitment. Wow.

Majofo, you're rapidly climbing the "would toss" salad list in my head.
D's...listen, man...I thoroughly and sincerely appreciate comments like that.
I will tell you that just like with ex relationships, we tend to romanticize all the things we USED to love about them once they're gone and the option to have them is no longer. ALL the reasons why you moved on to a different car would still be present and then, there would likely be reasons you'd miss the G37...have to be...has to be some redeeming qualities like luxury/sport and fucking torque!
As Stephen Stills once said..."love the one you're with".
awww fuck it, who am I kidding...the S if awesome. Get another one so we can be S brothers...
