These are aftermarket body panels designed to replace or augment the factory fenders on a Honda S2000. They extend the width of the vehicle’s wheel arches, allowing for the fitment of wider wheels and tires. For instance, an S2000 owner might install these to accommodate wider performance tires for increased grip on the track.
The adoption of these components can offer significant advantages, including enhanced vehicle stability and handling due to the increased track width and tire contact patch. Historically, modifications of this nature have been prevalent in motorsports and car customization, enabling improved performance and a more aggressive aesthetic. They are a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking to maximize the potential of their vehicle’s performance and visual appeal.
