+1 on a well made hood & duct ... at least for pop up head lights.
IMHO the most effective hoods out there are based on vent size and location in relative order:
Realtime Racing (aka LeMans NSX) not for street vehicles
Marga Hills (aka VIS NSX Super GT), if made to cover the LHD ABS system...
RDX injectors + AEM infinity = ???
SLS may be another manufacturing method for a manifold of limited production and can support more complicated part geometry...
For pop up headlights and a stock radiator, the largest vented hood I know of is a Marga Hills ducted hood, or the copy VIS made. Draw back is they are set up for RHD and will have an interference with the ABS system of LHD cars.
Otherwise, if you can find a copy of the RTR hood and are willing...
If anything, I'd probably be interested in seeing if a dual material would be viable or even save weight.
For example: backing plate of 1/8" or 1/4" steel connecting the chassis bars then a box section of 1/8" wall thickness aluminum rectangular tube in front of it be enough? Or an aluminum...
Rudimentary rule of thumb of steel vs aluminum: aluminum is 1/2 the strength @ 1/3 the weight.... So a properly engineered aluminum part would roughly weigh 1/3 less than a steel one, if aluminum is a suitable material for the application.
Curious why Honda never tooled up to make an aluminum...
Keeping the OP's target of not wanting "to alter the car in any other way, besides a nice looking set of wheels and a great riding set of tires", with emphasis on "great riding", IMHO, finding a set of wheels to use as close as the 15/16" OEM set up as possible would be the way to go.
If I had...
Without getting into too many details about testing standards, the SA ratings were developed to be more appropriate for motorsport use.
This includes differences between standards regarding eyeport size, conditioning, impact energies, test anvil selection and test criteria in addition to the...
Now this has piqued my interest... Curious to see what the gains are with the RDX injectors are with the ITBs on a 3.0L engine.
Besides an AEM EMS needed to run the ITBs (or just RDX injectors alone), is the stock NSX fuel pump able to keep up as it seems the RDX injectors run best at about 55psi?
