Shave? Or do you mean share?
I'm looking into buying a new car- somewhere in the $35k range in the near future... and $19k for a used S2k is definitely in that price range. The only car I was considering used was an IS300 manual and then turbo later, but a used S2k with money left to buy some Comptech goodies fits in there too. I just need 4 doors and 4 seats though... this new car was partially contingent on getting rid of the Civic.
For hauling people around? I could take 4 people out to dinner in the S2000. Once at a a time - drop them off, go get the other.
Seriously, the car sticks to the road like glue, accelerates like crazy and attracts as much coversation than a UFO sighting over NYC. Go test-drive one. Now. They're cheap cause it's cold.

don't listen to them man. I think the wing looks hott. keep it! I'm looking for a wing similar for my crx, except we know how that is. wing options are limited on a crx. Gotta find a tiny little hatch wing. i was thinking carbon fiber. By the way, your S2K is hott. I would love to have one of those cars. What color is your paint job? kinda looks like a metallic black/grey tri-color sort of deal. I'm getting my car repainted, and i'm trying to figure out what color to go with.
dude, a wing on the crx would be rice as hell. check out jeff's post ^^^. the reason he says that is cuz ryan has the only (USDM) honda that is rear wheel drive. putting a wing on your crx would put downforce on the rear and take traction off of your driving tires. don't do it dude, there's no point.

i take it back, i wasen't aware of how functional it is, i just figured it was some rice wing. sorry 'bout that, that's some mad downforce y0! good job on the s2k... i love it.
The car tends to get sorta light in the ass-end over 100MPH... not too bad, but it's noticable. This is the only piece I could find that had actually been tested and had documented results. I dislike big-ass GT wings, personally - I think they're too ricey and (in most cases) pointless. This only sits 4-5 inches off the lid; it's about 1/3rd as tall as the DC5R wing on our RSX; much less noticable.
It'll definitely help when running a course, though - which I hope to start doing this summer. Worst case, I can sell it for what I paid for it and bolt the useless OEM wing to the holes
a wing on a crx is purley for looks, and IMO only one can pull it off, i hate all the others, the only one i like is wings west whaletail wing
and btw, while we are talking about wings, look what i found on ebay while looking for the above pics......this has got to be the gayest thing ive ever seen CRX hood wing
:ghey:
:tfg:

:tfg:hahahah - a hood wing???? :tfg:
That's almost as bad as my girl's brother who wanted to mold a roof scoop onto the roof of his car. Was all set to do it, till I explained to him that being as it was a del Sol and the roof comes off, it's probably not a good idea to try to help it. Of course, this is the same guy that:
1) dumped the neuspeed springs I gave him in favor of a $29.95 set of eBay coilovers ("because they're blue")
2) is getting ready to spend $1200 to have some ass-quality paint job done, ignoring the fact the motor smokes and the clutch slips
3) considers his faux-carbon fiber e-brake handle and dash kit the coolest thing since sliced bread
4) claims to beat Mustang GTs with said blue smoke, clutch slippage, a riceboy muffler and a $19.99 ebay CAI
5) forgets the fact that his car, his kit, his wheels and the bulk fo the stuff on the car was the shit I didn't want when i was building my Sol
6) swears up and down that the RSX and the S2000 are the biggest pieces of shit

a wing on a crx is purley for looks,
not completly
that wing will actually serve a purpose ... downforce? no
but what it does is reduce drag by reducing the air "swirl" directly behind the car... this will raise the acheivable top speed as well as fuel economy
back to my main point (and jeff's... i think), why would you want down force on a FWD car? think of it like this... if you push on the back of a crx (downforce), the front is going to come up, which will take traction off of the tires that are pushing your car (a bad thing). as for being rice... some are more than others, but it's all a personal prefrence (sp?) and wasen't my point, i'm just sayin' it's pointless. as for reducing drag and therefore increasing top speed... that's bs, sure it's possible, but it's not what those wings are designed for and it's not what they're gonna do. those wings are made to "look cool" (rice). like ryan said... the mugen wing was the only one that he could find that has been windtunnel tested and proven to be functional by producing downforce on a RWD car.
