Contemplating switching the wheels to my 17/18 BBS RSII in all black... input?

I must say, when I clicked on this thread I was preparing for the worst but that actually looks really good!

condumbwerkz · 6 April 2011

I love this color, next to Imola. Great choice!

synth19 · 6 April 2011

Looks amazing! Wheel/tire specs?

Jetpilot3 · 6 April 2011

Awesome choice in color!

If you don't mind me asking what would a typical paint job cost?

Totally agree... I was expecting Lime green barf. That car looks great, and the black top/spoiler/wheel combo looks fantastic. Very nice. :biggrin:

L-O-V-E the colour! That being said (and I hate to critique) I would want a black mesh in my front bumper...just my $0.02 and the car would look even more incredible (small thing I know). Nice NSX

Honda OEM colors are great, especially the pearls, of which this green is one. IMHO, I think you should get Washi Gray 02+ Type-S wheels and slap a JDM Type-S badge on the back of that badboy!

Thanks guys!!

I do all of my own work on the side and did this car myself, but I'd say anywhere from 8-12k for a full color change. Pbassjo would have a closer estimate. I'd say 8 is probably on the low end though.

Hapa88 · 11 April 2011

I have the same comments as I did back in May 2010. :biggrin:

I like the color, however I would paint the trim on the inside grills of the bumpers the flat or semi-gloss black to match the real NSX-R color scheme. The way it is now, it just looks like they oversprayed the whole thing to me. . Leave the hood just as it is, though, colored green. I think that looks much better that way.

Yea that's definitely the plan for next weekend...

Next weekend? It's almost been a year!!!:tongue: Still looks pretty cool. Love the color!!

This is brought up everytime he paints his car. :smile:

It is a sexy color though.

haha it's already been done. The inserts have already been sprayed black... the first few pics were the most recent from last fall. The last two are very recent, and a shoot has been set up for the way the car currently sits. I'll post updated shots soon.

shawn110975 · 11 April 2011

I was thinking the same thing going into this thread

but it actually looks good. what year is it?

converted or a real 02+ if its converted then it looks damn good.

I dont know about the rims color. maybe a lighter color,

what do the stock silver rims look like on it 17/17?

Thanks!
Car is a 95' Originally... everything has been converted.
Started as a midnight pearl/tan

I know, everyone freaks out over redoing a midnight pearl but I did all of the 05 upgrades in that color then just needed a change. I've had the car over 7years now.
The rims I may be changing, and have yet to try 17/17 factory ones in silver. Although I have had black 05' wheels on it in the past. Not aggressive enough for me though.

That explains the missing tow hook cover.

What suspension are you on.

What size exhaust outlets are those, 4"?

Tow hook cover was off because I actually had a blow out and had the car flatbedded.

Suspension is Tein RA fully adjustable coilovers.

And yes exhaust is full custom, stainless 4".

s14_tat · 12 April 2011

LJSB · 12 April 2011
