making progres!...

Thanks to everyone whom I've dealt with in the past few months after getting my car stolen I was hoping it wouldn't be recovered. BUT it was found partially stripped. Fortunately enough it was in good enough condition to remain a clean title and from there I started my restoration of my beloved NSX with some oem parts and some aftermarket mods.

Thanks to the guys at DF for the endless pm's and phone calls that you guys had with me. I also want to thank, Erick (evof575gtc) and John ([email protected]) for getting me alot of my parts and anyone else I've dealt with and especially everyone on Prime! I did alot of research on here to figure out which route I wanted to go with as far as mods and how to install alot of the stuff on my own (which in return saved me alot of $). There are still a handful of things I still need to finish customizing/installing so not everything is on the car as of yet. Below are some pictures of what I have currently done.

Here's my quote from another thread...hope this helps!

goto this website http://superbrightleds.com/mini-wedge.html

I just checked my mailbox and to my surprise my (5) interior and (2) parking LED's were sitting in there , I immediately ran to the car with all the mail and installed them all. THEY LOOK AMAZING! especially if you have HID's they match up so well compared to the oem bulbs. I just installed 6000K HID's and hated the different colors of the parking lights compared to the headlights so with the LED that problem went away. At first I was confused on what to purcahse as well but I managed to order all the right bulbs. Below is what I got, hope this helps you!

(2) Parking Lights = WLED 6-LED bulbs (white) $3.74/each

(5) Interior Lights (2 door panels, 2 dome, 1 trunk) = 3022-x4 LED Festoon bulbs (white) - $2.84/each

Make sure you choose (white) in the drop down menu when you order these bulbs otherwise, by default the colors are red!

It's still in the works to be wired up but it will be going into my center console, since my last center console was broken and stolen im installing it where the cigerette lighter once was. to the right of the button will be my edfc unit where the ashtray once was... and on top will be my doubledin headunit...i'm thinking about keeping the ashtray lid so i can close it and make it look oem and hidden and flip up the lid for use


ts coming along... be sure to pace yourself... don't wanna get addicted now

lol, it's already to late! i remember prior to moving to california about a year or so ago, i told my parents "i'll no longer be in the car scene and won't mod anymore of my cars that i get" the first car i get when i moved here was an s2000 and boy did i go nuts with the mods on that thing, shortly there after i got an g35 which i did manage to keep stock! but quickly got tired of that and sold it for the nsx and it's back to modding i go!

besides! looking on prime 24/7 at everyones mods and cars (points at you) you can't help but want more stuff! so i blame you and everyone else on here for my mod addiction! :biggrin:

Looks great. I like the nice, clean look of your car and I'm using the same approach with mine.

Got any pics of the interior lit up with these lights?
