i mean, its functional . just wondering

i figured these along with the df air scoop or dali/pro car cf air scoop and a intake would all go hand in hand.

To be honest I never really paid much attention to those. Damn, those are nice. I may get these coming my way.
 
Oh but they are...

I have loads of pics, was easier just to link to youtube. will show some pics later tonight.

I went on the same theory. Much wider opening based on GTC series.

I think it's a either love or hate it kinda look though hence why not many people have done it.
 
"Downforce DF-R Side Ducts (CF) - NSX, all years (DF-AAA251CT)
[epp-1612] $750.00 "

This may be part of the reason...

Other than that I think they look pretty good if they were painted (since my car is red).
 
sweet post pics lol. they also come in frp for 600$ for the people that wanna color match em. but i like the cf version myself lol

Got any side shots? Just to see how much "poke" they got? :)
 
I don't think the reward is there functionally to justify the cost. Most people add these for bling IMHO.
 
I think they ruin the lines of the car. As well, I'm not sure how much functionality there is as ram air is negligible in providing increase power. Maybe for additional cooling.
 
I like them but yeah they are definitely overpriced. Waiting for someone to make a replica for $50 lol

Maybe if they were a bit more edgy? Sort of like the Aventador they look sort of fat to me I think getting some more air in to the engine bay couldn't hurt and if you're after something different for looks why not
 
been trying to post on the crappad but no joy, now on a crapbook ;)

here we gooo.....

it's late here in the UK so i have just put loads up, some may be duped. It's always good to see a product from as many angles and different lighting and enviroments as possible so hopefully this will be enough to help you decide if you like them or not.

That's enough reason for me not to buy them.

I love them too but $750 for 2 pieces of CF just seems like I'm getting bent over...........if I could score a deal............or maybe group buy..........I would be on it.

^This^ They look nice but not $750 nice
 
Wow that's a steep price, but damn they are sexy.

You never said that about mine, you always told me that they were the sh&t... :tongue:

As to functionality the answer is probably zero. To change the stance and agressiveness of the NSX I give it a higher score. Click here to see my thread on this mod with before, after and profile pics and also install tips:

IMHO they look better painted on a car with no other CF and better bare on cars with more contrast.

To answer the OP, cost has to be the factor. No performance bang for the buck as it's purely aestetic.
 
so did you end up painting yours?
 
Personally i live them.

But they do change the flowing lines and gives more of a aggressive look. I can see why people wouldn't like them.

I didn't paint mine as i ordered the carbon version.

I'm not sure if it's just me but i'm sure i can hear the intake slightly more with these fitted.
