Paint the wheels black chrome or glossy gun metal.
That would look sweet.

Green wheels would be flamin' hot too!!

Grrr... Calv' STFU!?! :biggrin: If you make such a suggestion again, I'm gonna paint your hydraulic-spoiler pink... :wink:

Only NSX's permitted to have neon-green wheels are the Takata Dome NSX or MJ's Green Hornet NSX... :tongue:

I concur w/ Len, black-chrome/hyper-black would look stealth & unreal on the 17/17 OEM wheels & matched to a Berlina black NSX! :cool:
 
Dayam you Eric, i hate you.....now i gotta sulk in my corner till i get my 02 front end :biggrin: So far its looking amazing.
 
Good job Erick!

02 Tails lights (those round corners are sexy)
02 Wheels

These are great items you got, looks like you got an early Christmas :smile:
 
Looks very nice! I like it but please turn off the radio to lower that antenna the next time you take some pics. :)

nice center badge ;)

Ditto.

I was wondering if you modified that yourself. I want to get one made as well. Let me know how much you charge. Or maybe some free Dinner and drinks when I get to LA?:wink: I should be there late next week.

the center peice is easy.
just boil it a pot of pho soup for thirty days. only pho soup will make the seals seperate.

if you dont know how to make pho, go to this site and watch the movie and they will show you how to make pho.

don't be cheap and use instant noodle soup. it will make it crack.

dip it in and it will make the seals soft and you can pull it apart. that will give you access to the 'acura' letters and you can remove those. put everything back together. and slap on the na2 badge and your done.

i dont charge anything. just pay for the parts and i'll do it. :)

Nice conversion, You have inspired me!!! I'm going to convert my 03 to an 02:biggrin:
 
No like the one that is on your car with the "H" emblem.

I bought a set of "H" emblems and was wondering if I can just remove the original acura symbol and leave it blank, and glue on the H symbol ontop of the centerpiece.

Is that how it works. I've seen pictures of the center tail lights in which the H emblem seemed to be glued from the outside. I might be wrong.:cool:
 
Stick-e-rice, the real JDM tail lights have the H emblem embossed into the center tail light lens. I took mine out, it was a pain to get it removed. To do what you want to do, you would just have to remove the Acura sticker from inside the lens. Then stick the emblem on the outside (not glue but a special sticker that usually comes with the emblems).

The way Honda did it for the JDM tail lights you cannot match what they did. It's embossed and then somehow foil was either painted or plated onto the plastic inside of the lens.
