Hey, Mike---when you bring it up here for Dan to do the work, LMK and I'll run out to the shop and hook up with ya. I was out there last week, that's 2 really sharp guys in that place---
lol trust me i know the feeling. i have wheels, kwv3s, cf interior steering wheel, side skirts rear splats pedals etc etc etc sitting around without a car!
Thanks man, well i got up early and drove 200 miles to the shop in Nashville and when i picked it up a few days later i drove the 200 miles back around 12am. Later that morning i drove it to the paint shop. That's about all this year besides a couple of trips around the neighborhood :redface:
Yeah, if i had known it would be this much trouble but in too deep to stop now. In fact when i realized it was too late to stop, i threw more money at it.
Lots would say just look for the light at the end of the tunnel, but where i'm at the end looks like an abyss.

thats what scares me the most about the nsx project 'obsessions' not even the money but the amount of TIME (months and years) that many (myself included) throw into these projects. it gets in the way of real life!
I agree, that's how the rear wing is. I have a set of the convex mirrors and was trying to figure a way to make a manual mount for them so they will be as light as possible. I don't adjust my mirrors anyway.
BIG SHOUT OUT to ajnsx for being so AWESOME!!!
To go with the R look, i have decided to badge the car with the red honda emblems. I saw a post he made about removing a emblem from a new center he just purchased. I sent a PM asking if he would interested in selling the emblem and guess what? He gave it to me and even shipped it from japan for free. It's very seldom that people surprise me, what a great person he is. Thanks so much man, let me know if i can ever do anything for you :smile:
Mike

Hey guys,
Finally got the car back from the shop. The hood turned out a little darker then i like but i wasn't going to leave it any longer since it's been 4 months. Have too much to get done so i will have it repainted this winter.

I assume it is a downforce hood? It looks good, I was very interested in the CF top and bottom as well. How id the fitment? This was what I have always been concerned about.
Haha, Dave i understand :wink:
Yes it is a downforce. The fitment was better then i expected, the worse spot being the sharp point at the driver side near the windshield. It sticks up just slightly at that point but not really noticable. When i got the hood both of those corners were cracked and had to be fixed by the shop so that could be the reason.
These are the only close shots i have.

full CF top as well? I am interested in CF top and bottom due to we were going to leave the duct CF exposed and the rest painted. Looks good by the way.
Don't leave the center CF. It takes away from the look. Leave only the INSIDE sections of the vent CF. Circled in red to give you an idea. From far away you have a full painted look, from up close, you won't miss the CF. I wish I would have done this on my DF hood. Too late now. :frown:
Car looks awesome. Be careful running the pride and Ctsc. The exhaust is very restrictive and can cause engine problems. There was a tread about this, and I also called shad who agreed. I ended up with the comptech gen2. It doesn't sound as good, but I can't hear the exhaust over the blower whine anyway.
@ekin95
Thank you, it is the FRP/CF. That sounds like it would look ok but imo it would be hard to get the transition from paint to CF to look right. It wouldn't be an issue on the inside of the duct except close up but the outside would show more. It's going to have the appearance of being a seperate piece, like you just stuck a duct to the hood. I have a picture of my R spoiler that i will try to find showing the transition from CF to paint.
@TURBO2GO
No, the wheels are big :tongue:
@NetViper
Thanks Man, I am using stock cats and AEM FIC so i hope it isn't a problem. I will ask the tuner, thanks for looking out for me.
I am going to start posting some info on my plans for the SC install. Looks like it will be around 8 weeks from now :smile:.
