    Consigliere's 2004 Unbuild

    Rear Wing Thanks JINKS and COMPTONASSDANIEL. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no previous bodywork experience, so I'm learning all of this as I go along...God bless Youtube. Anyway, I good friend of mine recently hooked me up with a rear wing to start my next project. I really like the look of...

    WTB: Yokohama Advan Kreuzer Series V - 5-Spoke Wheels I am looking to purchase a complete set of Yokohama Advan Kreuzer Series V 5-Spoke 18"/19" wheels in an NSX fitment. I would consider 17"/18" if the price was right. Please PM with details.

    Garage Door Opener Up until recently I stored my garage door opener in the center console which was convenient, but still kept it out of sight. Now that it's top off weather, however, I've had to rethink its placement since anyone can now simply reach in and grab it. I tried locking it in the...

    JDM/EDM Center Console Switch Panel - Alternative Switch Sourcing?

    Thanks TEXMORALES, that's exactly what I was looking for! I had actually read your earlier thread regarding the Legend, but it didn't specify the year and the one (and only) Legend I found at the junkyard didn't appear to be the right one. Now that I know it's the second generation ('91-'96)...

    JDM/EDM Center Console Switch Panel - Alternative Switch Sourcing?

    Hey guys, I've spent the last several days searching through dozens and dozens of prior posts regarding sourcing switches to use in the JDM/EDM center console switch panel that replaces the coin tray used on American cars. Depending on the country of manufacture, these switches range from seat...

    Friend's Lip A friend asked if I would pull a second spoiler for his car and then post some closeup pics of the finished product. Here are those pics of his lip after scuffing it with 600 grit sandpaper in preparation for paint. This is the first time I've paid any attention to cost and was...

    Thanks RUNDLC. Here are a few more pics after getting it back from the paint shop.

    Consigliere's 2004 Unbuild

    Well I finally finished my spoiler this evening and got it mounted on the car...just in time for tomorrow's Cars & Coffee spring opener. Everything lined up like it should and all in all I'm happy with how it turned out. I will eventually have it painted to match the car and add mesh to the back...

    Consigliere's 2004 Unbuild

    Here are a few more pics of my spoiler project to date. I finally started fabricating the mold for it this week. Prior to gelcoating and glassing the mold I sanded it down with 1200 grit sandpaper, waxed it approximately a dozen times with mold release and then sprayed it with PVA to help...

    Thanks MYW, it's a work in progress. Here are a few more pics.

    Consigliere's 2004 Unbuild

    Thanks JWMELVIN. You're right, I am fabricating it primarily out of MDF with a couple of layers of 1/8" plywood sandwiched in between for rigidity. Once the finish work is completed I will make the mold myself and then knock out a couple of fiberglass copies.

    Front Spoiler I want to add a front lip to the car and really like the style with the two ducts in the bottom like TURBO2GO used to have on his silverstone (see top pic). However, the manufacturer of this spoiler apparently went out of business some time ago and I haven't been able to find...

    Consigliere's 2004 Unbuild

    Navigation Up next in the "unbuild" was to update the navigation system and backup camera, as well as to remove a number of electronic goodies the previous owners had installed. I went back and forth between using a tablet to do this or simply using a standalone Garmin unit. Wiring in a tablet...

    Consigliere's 2004 Unbuild

    Body Mods Thanks JINKS, I'm glad it wasn't the $650 tach that broke. My next step was to add some Downforce ground effects and an NSX-R style hood to give the car a more personalized feel. Both mods are easily reversible and I will hold onto all the original parts in the event I ever sell the...

    Consigliere's 2004 Unbuild

    Nav Pod One of the prior owners had added a JDM Navigation Pod that just seemed out of place. Don't get me wrong, the pod itself looked fine. However, it's matte black finish clashed with the 2004's existing silver trim and looked markedly aftermarket IMHO. Because of this, I took the pod...

    Calipers Thanks. I did refinish the brake calipers and am still on the hunt for a set of stock rims. One of the prior owners had hand painted the calipers red while they were still on the car. There were portions of all four calipers that weren't painted, while other components (rotors...

    Seats No, the overlays had just enough room to remove without taking off the needles. That being said, as careful as I was - and I was extremely careful - I still ended up breaking off the fuel gauge needle and had to purchase a new fuel/volt cluster. Learn from my mistake and be aware the...

    Gauges I probably would have left the white gauges alone, however, the whole instrument cluster turned bright blue at night which didn't match the rest of the red controls in the car. I was fortunate to find the white gauge faces weren't a complete replacement, but instead overlays on top...

    Consigliere's 2004 Unbuild

    After months of searching for a black on black NA2 I ended up purchasing BLAZEDNSX's 2004 Acura NSX-T. The car was in impeccable condition, however, one of the previous owners had performed some minor "racer boy" cosmetic modifications that I wasn't particularly fond of. This included reverse...

    Side Skirt Sill Clips - Alternative Sourcing?

    ***UPDATE - REPLACEMENT FASTENER FOUND*** Before spending nearly $100 on a handful of plastic clips (which I intended to do this afternoon) I decided to stop by our local Honda dealer to look at some similar body molding fasteners I found online (Honda# 91513-SM4-000). The Honda clips turned...
