Check out this GB deal: Aluminum goods for your NSX

Guys I have spent some talking talking to Anthony Hensley to see if I can bring everyone here a really good price on a really good product.

First of all let me say this. I am getting nothing out of setting this up. No free product, no special discount, nothing. I am doing this to benefit prime members. Think of it as a benefit of being on nsxprime.

Anthony's company, Autovation, has for years made outstanding products and I have owned several on my NSX. They make aluminum pedals in varying types, better than anyone else. They make beautiful heel guards which not only look cool and are lightweight but they can replace your mats (or attach to them). They now offer stuff with logos like the HFP (Honda Factory Performance). They have door sill plates for your NSX and aluminum shift plates as well.

After I bought my first set I decided my foot stuck too much to it to heel and toe well. Contacted Anthony and he sent me a free brake pedal with the inserts. Then I lost my inserts, called, and he sent me another set. Then I called and said I wanted a wider gas pedal and he is custom making me one for a very reasonable fee. I then said 2 of my inserts came off from my really heavy use and he again is sending me replacements. My point is.... I just have rarely had this good a customer service from a company. And the quality of their stuff is just fantastic. Beautifully machined stuff that really looks great.

So here is the deal I have worked out. You can sign up and buy any pedal set, any floor/heel guard or sill/plates.

Every person that signs up and buys, gets a 1% discount. And the buyers percentages add up. So when 5 people sign up, we all get 5% off. 10 people, 10% and so on. All the way to 40% off with 40 sets of products sold. If you buy a pedal set AND a heel guard for example, you are counted as 2, so you add 2% to everyone's discount price. I am really hoping we get 40 sets of products sold get a full 40% discount for everyone. Which is a HUGE discount. This tiered discount system was my bright idea, I ran it by them, and they finally agreed. I wanted to get as much as 50% but they shot that down. LOL I guess we are getting really close to manufacturing costs.

So look at these products and if you are interested in any of it, please put your name down and what you might want. Let's see how many people we get. Once we reach a high number I will go to them, get them signed up as a vendor and you can order products right through them as part of the GB. They don't advertise much and I think many new NSX owners are not aware of the quality parts they make. So sign up, help your fellow primers out and get this thing going. I hope we get good participation.

I am going to start by buying 2 heel gaurds and a door sill set (already have pedals) getting everyone a 3% discount right off the bat.

Here are some product photos. Their website for the NSX is here:

Interested in a heel guard. Let me see...hmmmm

:D Sign it up baby... get me my extra %. Can I interest you in some beautiful sill plates instead of the ghetto OEM plastic... LOL
 
without trying to derail the thread too much, what is the purpose of the heel guard?

Also, which pedal set is the best? One of the styles looks like it might be slippery.

I'm definitely interested in the pedals (once I decide which style), and possibly the heel guard.

Thanks Dave and Autovation for another great GB.

Hamza I have tried all of them and to me the pedal with the inserts looks like the Type R is the best if you heel and toe. Which you kind of have to at the track. The grid ones and my particular piloti shoes were like Velcro together and made turning or moving my foot more difficult. If you never heel and toe it doesn't matter much the grids are actually more Non-slip.

The heel guard keeps your floor mat or carpet from wearing, for guys that watch the figure of their NSX like an overbearing husband and don't let them have things like fattening floor mats, the heel guard is a substitute to keep the carpet from wear. Plus they just look cool. For the track you are not allowed to have mats and then your DE instructor will get in with whatever gum he has on his shoes so the heel guards are an excellent track solution.

I hope we can get 40 items sold

sign me up for a heel guard with hfp emblem. Ill have to think a bout a few other items

I think we will sell way more. There's no exact deadline so I can wait and get everyone their 40% off. This is a benefit of being here on nsxprime. These things wouldn't be possible otherwise. Also I would like to really give some deserved support to autovation for giving us this special deal and sell as many as possible for them hopefully over 40 items. Which should be easy considering people would get almost half off. I hope everyone realizes this is a very special deal.

Thanks jrnsx you've almost brought us up to a 10% discount already.
 
Does anyone have a better photo of the door sills? The one on the Autovation website has always looked a little odd to me. Something like this photo I took below. I am curious to see how the door sill blends with the ID plate, as it looks like it sort of sticks out a bit in the photo on the website.

Great job on setting this up, this is indeed a deal that has awesome potential.

Great group buy - I already have their pedal set. Can we get examples of the different finishes and custom designs/pocket? And what does the perimeter ring look like?

Thanks!
 
The various finishes are already pictured on their website. It's pretty self explanatory. Satin, brushed, grid... not sure what the perimeter ring is?

updated with my finish, Also curious to what this perimeter ring is.
 
Aluminum parts + NSX = interest!

I hope his parts catalog list is just a start, cant wait for it to expand to other parts (read: engine).
 
Will they anodize the sill plates? I'd ideally like them in Black. If not, I can always have them powdercoated locally I suppose. And do they attach the same the factory sill plates?

In for a set either way, just curious is all!
 
Can't ask for special product making within this GB. just what is already available. They re giving us a huge break so the margins are too low for customization.

I'm interested in the pedals but which ones would you recommend again for people tracking?

Also I'd be interested in a wider gas pedal as well. Is there a way you could make that an option in that particular style?

If so I'll sign up for a set.
 
Stephen the extra wide pedal is a very ugly and possibly dangerous pedal that fits my needs for how I heel and toe. I don't recommend it to anyone else unless they really know what they want and have a particular shoe size and method for heel and toe. The pedal they make already helps almost universally as it is wider than OEM by a huge margin. I recommend you get the basic set, try it, get on the track, then if you need something different perhaps he can make it for you like he did me. I took a lot of measurements of my shoes and pedals beforehand. And I still have not received this extra wide pedal just seen a picture.
