Thanks Everyone,
I will certainly do a build thread, but it will be a long wait as I am not coming home from Afghanistan until the end of next year. Work in progress...

Thanks Gil for answering my questions on this. I really wish I would have seen your post sooner. The Magnum looks absolutely A M A Z I N G and seeing what you have gone through and done with it, wow...
Now that I know the moulds are crap, I guess I will just have to get ready for the pain this will be. I just bought this car the last time I was home sight unseen. The car was described as perfect in every way, shape, and form; however, when I got home, the car had some serious scratches on it. Guess I will get the stock panels repaired as I am doing all of this. What sucks is I think I put a hundred miles on it or less! Oh well, there is always next year. lol
It is funny and just thinking out loud; I realized today that my plans will replace virtually every exterior panel on the car. Most of the pieces will be Japanese Fiberglass, so there is little doubt that I will become frustrated as you were by end of the year, or sooner.
So far I am planning the following:
Route-KS Madonna Kit
Gruppe M NSX Mirrors
Downforce NSX-R full carbon hood
Full Carbon Trunk (haven't decided on vendor yet)
Downforce NSX-R full carbon Spoiler
Downforce Carbon Trunk Spoiler (the trunk lip add on for 02+)
The only stock pieces will be the doors and the roof! I found full carbon doors, but cannot justify the cost of them.
I am still undecided on what to do with the front lip (i.e. smooth it like the Sorcery kit or something else) and the side skirts. I am not really a fan of the side skirts and am thinking about going with a modified version of the Sorcery skirts (i.e. the blocker, square type vent vice the Veilside Supra looking skirts it comes with). If any one has any ideas, I would certainly appreciate it.
Once all of this is done, time to move on to the interior and engine.
