You are going to like the side marker lights. They really light up the side of the road and make it easier for drivers riding slightly behind you in the next lane to see your signal to change lanes.
The rest of the car looks good too.

The bumpers are not on the car. That will bring the car down a bit.
After they are driven and the oil warmed up that will change things too.
This is a very stiff suspension. :smile:
Man this car is so sweeeeeet. It stops people in their tracks.
Everytime I log in to NSXPrime, this thread will be the first I check. :biggrin:
I love the hood, it looks like it is a perfect fit.

That's what happens when Joe works with Detlef's parts!
I remember seeing another thread about the bumpers on an '04 LBBP were slightly different than the car. When I picked this car up, I noticed the same thing - even with the side vent in the quarter. Sooo... we were going to try to get it this weekend, but Joe decided the factory finish wasn't good enough!
Bumpers are being blended this weekend, then it's on to buttoning up some details. It may have a chance to go to LarryB for the NSX-R 4.23s before it comes home.

Larry did my 4.23 for me as well. Are you sure youd want the 4.23 with the 6 spd. 4.55 might suit you better or stock for that matter. Im not sure but id double check. Ride looks insane; why are you dropping by my dealership. Lunch is on me :biggrin: My co-workers have all been following your progress as well, lucking sick
Ryan...I hope you hang onto this car for a couple of years because I am seriously focused on buying it when you are done. That car is amazing.

Looks fantastic Ryan...Joe's not playin' around
Ryan, are the floor carpet going to be red too? And the silver trim on the dashboard.

If I'm not mistaken, adding the 4.23/4.55 gears will hurt performance when combined with the SC and it being a 6 speed (even though it may feel faster).
Correct me if I'm wrong.......

I'm pretty sure they won't hurt performance. The car should be a bit quicker when taking off (measurably), but I don't think there's any adverse effect. My reason for not going the 4.40 route was that it would put the crusing RPMs a bit too high for my taste - especially with the Taitec GTLW drone.

youll be slower with the six speed :wink:
Speed's not the ultimate goal here - it's the whole package.
For outright speed, I'm trying to talk my wife into letting me get a new Z06. My argument is that I can't stomach the thought of smacking the NSX into a barrier at the track, after all we've done to it. With the Z06 - it's a Corvette... just fix it and keep going.

We may have to have an 'NSX Prime Celebrity Death Match' for this.
