Path To Imola Orange Pearl YR-514P

[bee_are_bee]

This build, and synth19's car, has me almost fully committed to Imola when I repaint my car. That's saying a lot considering how much I love GPW. Good work, Shawn. Then again I know your work first hand

next month I am doing another Nh-603p triple pearl. I loved the last one I did so I gotta do another one. 02+ conversion also.

 

[Nero Tenebre]

Make sure you document the conversion real good

You promised bolt by bolt!
Also how much for an aluminum front bumper beam ready to install?

Awesome build as always

 

[warrenw]

Nice! It is a coupe, aren't you going to keep the black roof?

 

[shawn110975]

Ok here are some updates, I was bored so I painted the Gauge cluster rings Alum color, make it look bad ass.
then reinstalled the fresh carpet, added brand new Pioneer Double Din in the center console ran all new amp wires, speaker wires, put in a new 10inch Kicker dual free air coil sub in the footwell this thing will thump like Snoop Dog LOL
the Alpine V12 that came with the car when I was removeing the RCA the gold plates ripped off LOL I was like fudge......

installed the CF hood which was sent to me from Bee_Are_Bee thank bud.
rear tails, and headlights should be here wed. the driver headlight was on back order from japan, only 4 passengerside headlights in the USA.

get before they are gone guys.

Ok all coolant hoses under the car ( 3 ) and all the front hoses have been replaced.. then there was this little tiny one that I was like what did I miss LOL
went to the engine under the throttlebody sneaky little bugger.

some parts are " on truck out for delivery " yippee. I love presents from Acura and or SOS those boxes make me tingle inside LOL

Subscribed! As always, I can't wait to see the finished product, and read from front to back, again.

 

[synth19]

I don't know why, I think a black roof looks weird on Imola. I suggest painting the entire car and maybe the next owner can simply vinyl the top if he so chooses.

 

[Honcho]

I still vote for a Type S conversion. This car needs a Type S steering wheel stat!

 

[shawn110975]

the rook is already the same color your right though black looks funny. here are some pics from last night
cut the chassis for the new lights, did a test mount of the new tails. its starting to look like an NSX again

Yes! This would be awesome if you could swing it/find it.

 

[Honcho]

I was thinking a cheaper way would be to cover the existing seats with the same pattern (black leather outers with perf orange alcantara inserts) and then use all the other OEM Type S parts. The Type S seats are the same ones as NSX-R and are baller $ ($20k)

 

[Vi3tBoy]

Coming together very nicely

just curious as to why you didn't make the cuts for the headlights before paint? Then the bodyshop could have smoothed it out perfectly and paint

SORRY IF IT'S A STUPID QUESTIONS :d

 

[shawn110975]

geez guys way to tell me after I already recovered the leather. LOL woking on 02+ side vents

Home Depot 2.36 roof plaster mesh/screen LOL its coated with a thing black gloss paint and it looks better than the OEM version
yikes
