Seibon TF-Style Carbon Fiber Spoiler for Honda S2000 00-09

Seibon TF-Style Carbon Fiber Rear Spoiler for 00-09 Honda S2000 (AP1/AP2)

The S2000's trunk lid is short and flat, and the back of the car looks a little plain compared to the rest of it. A spoiler fixes that, as long as it fits the car's proportions. Most aftermarket wings either look too tall for a small roadster or too generic to belong on an S2000. Seibon's TF-style spoiler is low and sits close to the trunk lid, so it follows the car's lines instead of fighting them. In exposed carbon, it adds some contrast to the rear without making the car look like it's trying too hard.

This is mostly a styling part. A spoiler this size can tidy up the airflow off the back of the trunk a little, but Seibon doesn't publish downforce or drag numbers. Don't expect lap time gains or more stability at speed than stock. Buy it because you like how it looks, and because it's well made. If you're after real rear downforce for the track, you'd need a proper wing with mounts and adjustable angle.

3K Twill and a Clean Weave

The spoiler is made from 3K 2x2 twill carbon. Each strand is a bundle of 3,000 carbon filaments, woven over two and under two, which makes the classic diagonal pattern. On a part this shape, the weave has to stay straight across the top and keep its pattern where it wraps around the edges. That's where cheap carbon pieces start to look wavy or distorted. Seibon has been laying up carbon for more than 20 years, and the pattern stays consistent across the whole spoiler. They also keep the carbon-to-resin ratio tight, so it comes out stiff and won't flex at highway speed.

Finish and Care

It comes with a gloss clear coat, so you don't need to paint it before you install it. Treat the clear like paint, though. S2000s spend a lot of time with the top down in the sun, and UV is what yellows and hazes carbon over time. Wax it or ceramic coat it whenever you do the rest of the car, and it'll stay looking new.

Install Notes

It mounts with your factory hardware. Line it up on the trunk lid, check that it's centered and the gaps are even, then snug the fasteners evenly. Don't over-tighten anything that threads into carbon. Put some painter's tape around the mounting area first to protect the paint while you position it. Have a second person hold it in place so you can see it from behind the car before you tighten anything.
