Definitely no 3M double sided tape here! Held in place by 7 screws in strategic locations along with 4 plastic expansion clips (OEM from s2000)

This piece was designed to have some form too since the lower valence actually "overlaps" the stock diffuser so it created a nice seal. Whether this works I dunno but I'm trying not to create more drag by trapping air under a gap.

A lot of you have asked me where to buy but this piece was custom made just as an exercise for me to keep busy. PM me if you have questions to keep this thread clean for my IS-F updates

I'm still debating if I should paint or have it wrapped in CF

here's one more picture:

I admit the LED mod is not for everyone but this is just "Experimental" hehe

My plan is to bake the headlights open eventually to install LED's similiar to what I did with my s2000 but no time these days. I wanted to try a custom fog light DRL setup so fabricated some brackets for the LED's. They are custom wired to the parking lights so once click activates them. Fogs are independent of the LED's.

Thoughts....good or bad comments welcome

personally, i like pretty much everything on ur car CEPT for those LEDs...i think they kinda look cheap

i guess it's cause they don't really look like they belong there or something...



i saw an s2000 at my buddy's shop the other day with those LEDs in the headlights...looks kinda neat. but when you look close, you can see some tie straps (cable ties) that made it look weird...

oh well...as long as you're happy

It might look kinda kool if you could wire the fogs to the DRL and run them together with an HID kit...and the LED strips you have on there now.

Rear diffuser looks on point, but I'd say leave it the way it is and if anything wrap the fins in the same flat carbon material everything else is on your car.
