Well, got her back from paintshop this week after being in there a month!
Newest items:
Stacy Skirts (my old Marga Hills were too low and kept scraping)
DF NSXR front bumper undertray and battery undertray
VIS NSXR CF hood with NRG CF hoodpins
JDM tail lights (thanks to Scorp)
BBS LMs in custom copper finish (thanks to Wil)
DF CF rear window vent garnish
SoS front folding license plate holder

I'll have her back for 2 weeks and then off she goes for new interior carpeting, CF dash and door inserts (THANKS TAMOSKE *SMOOCHES*!! :rolleyes: ), 2DIN dash mounted dvd satnav, GPS alarm, new red Recaro SR3's in cloth/suede. Can't wait.

better pictures please:biggrin:
 
OK, updated pics on first post! :cool:
 
The camera makes your car look better! :biggrin: :tongue:
 
Just a little comparo of the skirts and wheels. :biggrin:

I might go back to the TE37's. I just need to get them touched up. Stacy skirts definitely are more day-to-day practical. I only had the MH on for a few months and they were toast by the time they were removed!

Oyagi, I really like your old Volk wheels instead - gives the car a lot more toughness and character...

BBS is a great wheel but doesn't look all that nice on a NSX IMO.

You mentioned you were going to use Recaro SR3 reclineable seats, what color did you get and what rails are you using?

I've been looking at this seat as well and wondering if they fit my Bride "RO" rails. Have you test fitted them before or know how they will sit in the car?

Yeah, reaction to my new wheels have been 50-50 so far, but usually its much more positive when they see the car in person. I could have done them up in black centre with polished lip for a more aggressive look but they came originally in bright gold and I wanted that motorsports look but toned it down to copper. In any case I still have my TE's and plan to run them every so often. :cool:

I am currently running SR3's in black leather with gray cloth inserts and love them but I've always wanted a red interior so I'm switching them to red versions along with the carpets. The rails were found on Yahoo Japan auctions and purchased through a friend who lives in Japan and runs a car parts import service (jdmspeedshop.com). The seats sit about 1" lower than oem seats and no problems with reclining them or them fitting inside the cockpit. I am quite sure they can be made to sit your bride rails if you're handy with a drill press.

thanks for the info on the rails, I'll check out that site or may just modify my Bride rails since I already have them.

Last question, any pics of the SR3's in your car and where did you buy the red SR3's? I'm trying to see if these Recaro's are more cost effective or the Bride seats in red with Kevlar backing.

Lastest update: wheels are on and they look awesome!
CE28's in 18/19 with Toyo Proxes T1R. Bought them off Prime (Thanks Jae!).
I am such a wheel whore. In 3 years of ownership I have gone through: DP Enduros (yuck!), BBS Stern, Volk TE37's, BBS LMs, and finally Volk CE28's. I think I am going to keep this setup for a while since they're going to clear my new AP Racing brakes better than my old TE's (which are now for sale BTW).

My kids look thrilled :)

NSXR-GT: I am going with the 4 pot AP Racing kit supplied by KVR (SoS kit). They are reusing my oem rear calipers and placing 13" slotted rotors on all 4 corners. I wanted to put them on a week ago but they didn't fit under my old 17" fronts. The new 18's will work fine.

My kids know all too well how to behave around the NSX. :wink:

David, I sent you a PM about the wing. Its a Backyard Special, and of course its discontinued!

The Vis Hood is very good. My bodyshop was really impressed with the fit and finish. Some small adjustments were needed and without hood pins it produced a small gap (<3mm) on one of the headlights. I always run pins for my aftermarket hoods so its a moot point but if you don't plan to the gap might bug you.
 
I'm going to go out on a limb here.... but I think you like gold colored wheels. :biggrin:

I like your Volk's that you have on the car now the best. I'd like to get my hands on a set of those one day! :smile:
 
CE's are by far the hottest! Ive still got my Titanium Lip 57 Pro's in the boxes cause I love the CE-28's so much:biggrin:
 
I thought this would be neat to see.
