New Wheels-Lip-Hood... In progress..

[nimdivino]

Well the lip is not painted yet and I haven't installed the center caps on the rims (still polishing it) , but nonetheless its turning-out pretty good.

I'm still fixing the sagging side-skirts and I got 2 choices of springs to choose from (comptech sport and H&R) to match my bilstein. I may go with the H&R and definitely running the Ayotte Rear Camber Correction.

Then hopefully by the 1st week of May I can send this thing off to the body shop after I finish all the engine maintenance stuff.

Anyway enough talking, here are some pics.

The car sits pretty high even with oem/bilstein lower perch so hopefully the H&R will bring the nose down a lot lower.

What I like the most are the rims, these are my first choice for this car and I am so lucky to find one in great condition (thanks NSX R-GT) especially now that they are discontinued.

Velveeta:
I got the rims from Rocky (NSX R-GT). I posted a WTB and he was the only who responded. So availability is scarce, I really got lucky.. Thanks Rocky!

otoro:
I'm going to paint the hood. I've had too many cars with CF exposed hood.. =)

NSX R-GT:
Thanks again for selling these rims man, and you shipped it perfectly too. I'll keep you in mind when I look for hard to find items.. Hopefully not too soon.. haha.

davidf:
Yeah its the VIS hood, and I recommend it to everyone who is on a budget or even if you have tons of money. I'm currently happy with the fitment right now and I only spent 5 mins working on it. But it will be a lot better once the headlights are adjusted as well by my body shop.

Zishan:
The WW skirts are straight now man.. Thank you for sharing your solution to the community. Your thread does not have pictures left so I'll post the pics and DIY soon.

Thanks guys for all the comments.

Kinda hard to see from the pics but does the VIS hood have holes for the washer nozzles?

Yes. Mine needed a little work, but they are there.

The best buy I found for a VIS hood was from Illstreet. It shipped in less than 10 days, just what they claimed.
