You asked for it...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/EVO-...ewItemQQcategoryZ33701QQitemZ8018989295QQrdZ1
NO. Not for a NSX. Not for anything. Reupholster the stock NSX seats in vinyl, fabric, leather, etc. Or buy used, quality racing seats cheap. Don't put crappe` in a NSX.

NO. Nice looking wheel. I don't personally don't care for HP EVO, especially these. Try RP-Motorsports (Tom Bell) here on 'Prime, he'll give you a better deal & more selection of wheels.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/91-9...ewItemQQcategoryZ33564QQitemZ8019187632QQrdZ1
YES. Fair price for decent blanks (Brembo) fabricated after-market (X-drill, slotted). If you just care about 'looks' & appearance, get the no-name or Bradi x-drill, slotted rotors and save $40-50.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Acur...ewItemQQcategoryZ36475QQitemZ8019339089QQrdZ1
NO. Shop around for other kits. And don't do this to a NSX, unless you're building a show/competition car w/ sponsorship. Comprendre'?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/19-B...ewItemQQcategoryZ43957QQitemZ8020661997QQrdZ1
NO. 19/19 setup isn't recommended on a NSX, even if staggered width. 19" in the front will rub, regardless the tire width or profile.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-1...ewItemQQcategoryZ43959QQitemZ8020775702QQrdZ1
NO. Read above (ie. RP-Motorsports)

THANKS Osiris_x11 I just wanted to make sure I m not overlooking something good at the same time not buying garbage and yeah I knew most of these would be thats why I asked just to see what other people are thinking. I dont want to put anything on my nsx till I'm 99.9% sure, I didn't do that with my last 2 cars and spent alot of money changing things, I dont want to do that ever again. I m gonna do it right this time so I ll ask a lot of questions till I am clear than do it, and as long as I keep getting good opinions, suggestions, advice from you guys I'll be fine. Thanks again

D.I.Y. + buy used + 'Prime vendors + sell used = Voila!

Leftlane/Todd! Man, thanks... you know we miss'ya here in CTx. Next time you're in the area, look us up; I'm rather keen on checking out your red cabrio' from Stuttgart...

yaynsx, I sent you a message on some things. Make a decision whether to do exterior mod's first (wheels, X-drill/slotted discs, etc.), or interior mod's (color change to red or black) first... it'll keep things simpler.

Someother things to consider:

- aftermarket exhaust, induction_scoop & performance air-filter, aftermarket headers/manifolds... result: weight reduction, ~25 rwhp gain, wicked sounds!

- aftermarket springs/suspension, etc... result: better handling, lower profile in terms of looks! (of-course drive your NSX a fair amount before deciding to change the OEM setup)

- larger wheels = added unsprung weight + more expensive tires + less selection of high-performance tires + more negative camber resulting in premature/rapid tire wear!

- changing OEM lowbeam bulbs to aftermarket hyper-white or xenon-like white bulbs or H.I.D.'s; changing front-bumper combo-light bulbs & rear license-plate light bulbs to LED's.

- tints, sound-system (door-speakers, floor-sub', amp), aftermarket rear-wing/front-lip, OEM '02-'05 updated rear-valance, JDM-rear tail-lights (darker) or tinted-overlays, modified engine-cover, engine-dressup (valve-covers, manifold-cover, coolant-tank, hoses, ground-wires, airbox, throttle-body, alternator, strut-bar, etc)... these are all based on personal preference!

- last, but not least... weight reduction!?! Remember, theoretically: reducing 10lbs will be as-if increasing your performance by 1rwhp! Spare-tire, tire-bracket, trunk tool-kit, jack, air compressor, engine-cover, trunk/floor-mats -> -75lbs! Other weight saving techniques/ideas:
