Installed the Umbrella variable ride height kit. Thanks Ravi. This kit is amazing and allows me to slam the car as low as I can without worrying about steep driveways and speed bumps. I would highly recommend this kit. The quality is top notch, and even the shop installing the kit was very impressed...

those wheels are so sweet and flush, im taking mine out tommorow cause it will be 50deg.
Bought a Zoom Engineering mirror directly from Japan. I had my body shop remove the rubber bezel around the mirror, sand down the edge of the housing so the mirror sits flush, and had them paint the body and swivel arm same color as my car

Also installed Door Pal from www.doorpal.com to protect the NSX from my daily beast

What a HOT looking NSX, 02+ cars MUST be lowered, now the rest is just icing on the cake! NICE!
Your car looks really clean. Very nicely done. I'm just a little confused about the mirror. . it reminds me of something that came out of Flight of the Navigator. :biggrin:
Haha, that Area 51 look was what I was going for:biggrin:
Why would you install unsafe clip-on junky pedals on a car you have so much money into when you can buy a real custom made for the NSX set from autovation for $15 more?
NSX specific Billet Aluminum Racing Pedals (Insert Series) - NSX, all years
[ipp-456] $109.00
Those are the ones I have ... I can't believe I've spent that much on pedals LOL

LOL are they that much? well they are well worth it. $110 is nothing. I'm looking at those mods, this is a drop in the bucket. That other stuff is dangerous!
I was going to get the Autovation pedals, but someone told me they are a nightmare to install because of the drilling in the tight space. Can anyone with experience chime in?
it's not that tight a space. You need a good light, a good drill, some cobalt bits, a bit of lubricant (for the drill not for yourself lol). Slow speed drilling. There is plenty of room for the drill. Having tried several my track experience is get the ones with the little rubber nubs, they are better for heel n toe. The fact that they are the right size and get drilled is exactly why you want them. This is best short of a real NSX R pedal set. You have a nice car I just think that those current pedals are not worthy. FWIW, I've also had awesome post sales support from autovation. I mean way beyond expectation.

Thank you for posting your photos - you've convinced me that the RG-D in silver is the way to go on my car. The silver face but polished lip is a nice touch. It's more subtle than a dark center and polished lip, but makes the wheel pop a little more than just a plain silver.
Simple installation of the Autovation pedals. No cobalt bit necessary nor is any oil. Simply mark the holes, use a small bit to initially make a pilot so the bigger bit won't "walk" and drill away. Used 2 dollar drill bit from Ace Hardware and regular cordless drill. Install time less than 30 minutes.

The Mirror it looks so big! does it block alot while your driving, I mean kinda like a blind spot in the front of your car now? do you have to tilt your head sidways to see past it while driving? I mean it looks good maybe if it was higher up. got any pics of what it looks like from your eye level sitting in the Drivers seat? itlooks good though love the upgrades
Looks GREAT, Charley!
