Sorry I have to ask: what is that blue pen looking thingy with the ACURA NSX written on the side? A marker? Flashlight? Tire pressure guage?
Nice build btw!

Will do.
If you ever want to sell your Mugen MF10's let me know!

Any products you need for your build we'd be happy to work with you :)
 
Thanks for the warm welcome! MexiRicer! I had to go in soon as I can. I couldint stand all the rockchips and gashes on the front and rear bumper.

The rear bumper is done now I am just waiting for the rear valance.

How difficult was it to remove rear bumper?
 
How difficult was it to remove rear bumper?
It's not too bad.
Remove wheels, remove fender liners, remove tail lights, then it is only about 10 bolts I think. Hardest part is lining it all back up.
Upgrades are looking good!
 
I may had exaggerated a little. I also took the tail light route to remove the rear bumper. It was in this order: I unmounted the CD changer to access behind the carpet covering the taillights >Taillights, its a little pain without a deep socket 8mm >bumper.
 
I use 2 12" socket extension to get to those damn bumper nuts. They are a pain to get at without them.
 
It looks like there was no shortcut around taking off the rear valance without taking off the rear bumper. Second time around wasn't so bad. Now its time to install 02 rear valance.

Since no one was willing take downforce sideskirts off my hands I went ahead and got them painted. I am going to store my OEM side skirts in case I do decide to sell it in the future.

Back to my build. Its been awhile since I played around with the NSX. Here is how she currently sits. Stock height.

The picture was taken a few weeks back.

Before moving forward with the suspension installation I am preparing the car for an air cup suspension with KWv3 combination. So I decided to buy a set of air cups and piece the parts as needed. Here is my current progress.

The first hole directly lines up with the spare tire bar with no modification needed.

On the second hole I was hesitant to modify the spare tire bar so I came up with a different solution.

I ended up drilling a hole on the air tank mount instead and created a bracket to reach the second oem hole on the bar.

I also included the rubber grommet that came with the air tank to avoid any rattle.

Looking good! I'm jealous of your OEM side skirts. I went with the Downforce side skirts too...as a temporary part, until I feel like ponying up the doe for OEM. Where did you order your OEM skirts from?
