Mine's in the same boat. My two tone roof and my front/rear bumpers are getting bad. I am thinking about doing the vinyl on the roof though until I can get to a reputable shop back in the CONUS 48.

Looks great. Congrats! First thing I would do is remove those Kia running lights that have burned out led's. Other than that, SOLID!

Hahaha. So true. It became obvious that Christmas tree light DRLs had overstayed their welcome once Kia began sporting them. Even the Audis that first had these fairy light DRLs are beginning to look curiously outdated. It's an overplayed fad.

Just installed new TE37 wheels, new wheel well liner, and NSX-R mesh intakes. I'm really feeling the black concave wheels. They give the car a very race car like vibe. So much better than the silver RP01s that I've had on my car for the past 15 years. Sorry about the uninspiring environment of a dimly lit garage. I realize I need to up my picture game.

Black roof is in top shape on mine, only the Red is peeling.
I'm in the search of a reputable shop (might have found one).

Where should I post the before and after process so it is on records here at Prime (for future owners)?

Just finished a wheel / tire / BBK / spring upgrade to my 1994 that I recently purchased from Chris McCool (aka McDork). I'll post more pictures as I make more progress, but for now here is where I am at. My first NSX and loving it so far.

Wow, gorgeous. What wheel/tire sizes + offsets? That looks perfect.

Thanks!

The current sizes are 17x8+31, 215/40-17 front and 18x10+27 effective, 265/35-18 rear. During the refinish I had the LMs reverse mounted, and the original sizes were 17x8+45 front and 18x10+50 rear. Because of the pad thickness on the 18s, I'm using a 10mm H&R spacer to clear the brakes to get to the +27.

If you're interested, I have some more photos and such in my build thread.

Crazy, I thought for sure that would be 18/19. I'll definitely check out your build thread. Gorgeous car man!
