Spring in MN:
Advan RG's my favorite.

Bob, how does it ride? Any changes in comfort or performances?I had Bilstein shocks installed on my NSX a couple days ago. Kept the stock springs. Despite lowering the car a mere 0.8", I'm amazed at how much improved the wheel gap is, both front and rear. The only decision left is whether to add a 3 mm spacer to the rear, but it looks OK already to me for the most part. Wheels are Advan AVS Model 5 in 17 x 8 +35 and 17 X 9 +40.
Before drop
After drop
The original door panels on my 91 were beginning to look outdated and tired due to the dark textured vinyl and gathered leather. So I replaced mine with real NSX-R door panels. Looks super clean and a lot more modern.

You arent kidding that looks fresh! Love it!

Now aligned and inspected
It wasn't as expensive as you might think. I got both NSX-R door panels from Procar Specials for only 500 euros. They are used but after cleaning them with a magic eraser sponge they look very good. The NSX-R door handles I bought new for $1100. For comparison two brand new NSX-R door panels from Japan would cost about $6000 and you'd have to wait up to a year before Honda makes more of them. Crazy. I feel really fortunate to find used ones for a reasonable price.
I used microsoft paint to delete my side marker. I might need more practice. LOL
That was the last day that fender was on the car anyway.

Is that from the 02+ NSX-R? The older ones had lots of suede, right? Also, how do you unlock your door? LOL.

Yes it is the 02 NSX-R door panels. It's covered in a flat black vinyl that is unusually soft, smooth, and rubbery. I told my wife it was real dolphin skin. Knowing how the Japanese have few animal prohibitions she of course believed me and began to freak out. :biggrin:
You unlock the door the same way you would in an actual NSX-R. I originally mounted the power lock switches on the NSX-R doors but I ended up removing them since I felt the darker color of the switch button wreaked the super clean look.
Yeah the 1992 NSX-R doors were covered entirely in alcantara. It's amazing how far ahead of their time Honda was in the early 90's.

Hahaha. Oddly accurate since the material feels almost like rubber.
Downforce sides and JP Aero lip are a match made in heaven! And Imola is too sexy
Thanks... agreed. The JP is a tad lower than the OEM sides, I felt these balanced out the car better.
