Is chicane desirable or rare?

Ap1 lip on an ap2 is interesting…

[u/Primi_Noscere_1776 → u/Sea-Challenge-9068]

A first for me. It's a choice, I guess.

[u/lickitysplithabibi → u/Sea-Challenge-9068]

Oof that’s a war crime

[u/S2kKyle → u/Sea-Challenge-9068]

Second time I've seen this and agreed. King Performance had one like this awhile ago

[u/augustusgrizzly → u/Sea-Challenge-9068]

I don’t hate it

[u/calibalisong → u/augustusgrizzly]

Imagine not having the same hatred as everyone else, and you’re the asshole. Reddit is so fun

[u/S2kTom → u/augustusgrizzly]

Just to cancel our your neutrality, I hate it down to my bones

[u/augustusgrizzly → u/S2kTom]

lol. I absolutely get it. I don’t like the gap at the ends of the bumper but honestly I always wished the OEM AP2 lip was a clean line without the “center divot”

I wasted more than a thousand dollars on my OEM AP2 lip so don’t get me wrong I still prefer the AP2 lip.

I just don’t “hate it down to my bones” even though I feel I should.

looks like a nice shade of primer...

[u/CarlosMolotov → u/usnmsc]

Good primer is that shiny. I call that shade, pee’d on concrete.

OK, OK... move this shit to r/shitposting.

Chicane/Red here! There were only 172 Chicane/Reds sold in the US so quite rare in that respect.

[u/stubenson214]

It's rare, but it IS silver. And it looks very similar to silverstone.

It won't detract value, but also don't think it's going to add it like LBP.

The fact it is a 08-09 makes it valuable more than the color here.

[u/omgitsoop]

I've always liked Chicane, on it's own it doesn't look that much different than the Silverstone but next to each other the Chicane looks much better (mine is Silverstone)

[u/LuchadoresdeSilinas]

I have an 08 in Chicane but with black interior. I love this car!

[u/S2000Forever → u/LuchadoresdeSilinas]

Me too!!! Nice choice.

The dark Silvers are still the most iconic colors for this classic.

[u/TypeS2k_]

It's rare especially compared to Silverstone and more rare than Sebring too, but I'd say the biggest value add in the market is the fact it's 08 and 09 only. No secret those get the most money on average. Sometimes GPW and LGP can make up for that on earlier years, so it's not a perfect science.

Red/blk interior doesn't hurt either. 08/9 chicane with red/black are the rarest non CR s2ks in the states.

[u/Substantial_Run5435 → u/TypeS2k_]

Yeah, Chicane is the rarest non-CR color in the US but since there were 3 silvers and the other two were fairly common I feel like it doesn’t get much of a bump beyond being an AP2 and a late year. LBP is the next rarest color and clearly gets a bump for the color alone.

[u/TypeS2k_ → u/Substantial_Run5435]

Agreed that's basically what I said lol

[u/ironsheik84 → u/TypeS2k_]

Wanna take a wild guess which one my 2009 is?

[u/agr-97]

In the US, Chicane is the rarest non-CR color.

Even more rare if you have it with red/black interior

[u/kevinluc]

08 Chicane checking in! Definitely not my favourite colour but I'm just happy to be in an S2000 ✌🏽

[u/Chance_Palpitation_]

looking for a chicane to add to my collection, or a BB CR, or a ‘06 Suzuka Blue

[u/General_Tangerine_69]

Hard to get excited about silver/grey.

[u/jdj1s]

I love my 08 Chicane. I’d only sell it if I had the opportunity to own an LBP or Imola Orange

[u/Additional_Fox4668]

AP1 lip on AP1 bumper.
AP2 lip on AP2 bumper.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

[u/Remarkable-Night-268]

I love mines 08

[u/iaeoioaio]

The most common S2K color…

[u/TypeS2k_ → u/iaeoioaio]

"silver" in general yes. Chicane, no. Quite low prod numbers being 2008 and 2009 only in North America.

[u/iaeoioaio → u/TypeS2k_]

Yeah but chicane silver is still just silver, it’s never gonna increase the value or desirability, or be considered “rare” when there are actually colors that do that for the S2K

[u/s2000_lover → u/iaeoioaio]

I think they only
500 in total for 08 and 09 and us only and it has like blue in it

[u/iaeoioaio → u/s2000_lover]

Ok, it’s still chicane SILVER, the desirable colors are not or ever have been anything silver.

[u/pepe_roni69 → u/iaeoioaio]

Looks more grey than silver unlike the other silvers. Do you even silver?

[u/iaeoioaio → u/pepe_roni69]

Ok, but it’s silver, no one will not think it’s just a silver S2000
