I don't know if anyone been following my purchase and fix up of this NSX I bought about 7 or 8 months ago but I've finally got some new wheels and coilovers installed on the car yesterday. I got a used set of Volks RE30 17x8 and 18x9.5 in Diamond Black. Its a really nice color I like it. I installed some KW V3 yesterday. Funny part was that installing the coilover was the easy part removing the old struts was pretty difficult. We had a hard time getting them out but it's finally done :).

I just wanted to share these quick pics I took with my camera phone and see what people think. Excuse the dusty car though I been working on it all winter and I can't wash it cause it's too cold outside.

Close up of the front:

Looks good man!
 
I took some new pictures today with a much better camera after final height adjustment and alignment. I'm very happy with the end result.

Two thumbs up!
 
I don't like it.

I like the wheels, I love the car but in my opinion black wheels just don't look good on silver cars.

I really like your tastefulness. I also commend you on keeping the skirts factory; the extra 'vent' on aftermarket skirts are a bit redundant. job well done!
 
I personally like the colour combo.
Like the shiny suspension too.
Cool that you have a 2 piece console....

only thing i don't prefer is the "no emblem" in the back. Looks kinda......weird.
 
Hey mate any chance you can send me a few pic's of your center console if you have any? I have never seen a center console with an aftermarket headunit i like, and judging from that small photo, yours actually look really clean.

Also curious where you got this center console from, or is it custom? Looks great!:biggrin:
 
I don't have the good camera anymore (It's my sister's SLR) so I can't take pictures until probably next weekend. The center console looks like a corkboard/wood like panel that was cut and shaped to look near OEM. It came with the car when I bought it so I don't know how it was done. Only think I didn't like was that previous owner painted that black and left everything else painted oem color. It didn't look uniform which I didn't like. So I painted the entire center console up to the vents in flat black. Looks much more uniform now.

I'll try to take some pictures this weekend and show you how the individual piece looks like.
 
Alright so I just realized my sister left to Florida for vacation and took her camera so I had to take some pictures with my phone. Here are some pictures of the center console and the individual piece.
