It look better without it :/
Sorry, was cheap and looks cheap imo. :frown:
This is the same strip that he uses just mounted differently. I bought mine for $30.
Couple of people didn't like it as well when I did it 3 years ago, but now a lot of people have the led strip.
Just do whatever mods keep you happy with the car.You mounted yours similar to mine:

Sure is.
i think it looks better in straight line.
Different strokes. I think the straight ones look more tacked-on than the ones the OP did.
I also think led drl's make the oem corner lamps look nasty-yellow-ish. Can you run the DRL's without turning on the parking lights?

How did you get those for $50? Used or new?
They are nothing more than a strip of LEDs that I got from onzium.com.
I used the side emitting, 1 foot, "cool white" LED strip.

They are super simple to install. They have 3m tape on the back so that is all there is to it. They can come off just was easy!
I installed these same Oznium LEDs on my 2000 NSX since I found they are the brightest out there! I received tons of positive comments when they were on my 2000.
After seeing the reviews here however, I may remove them!

Ur killing me Chase!
I think NSX looks better without one be it straight or whatever shape. Looks a bit rice out and I'm asian btw.
LED lights rice?? Wasn't it the Germans (Audi) that started the trend?
NSX is a classic design and should be left as it is or if want to improve the look what better way than to upgrade with oem parts/ better copies. Like adding performance parts in as in the type-r parts. I've been looking at other exotics the Ferrari, Lambos, Porsche. They don't put LED if they don't come with it. IMHO it cheapens the exoticness of the NSX.
Also people wanting ferrari looking bumpers. Why can't NSX be as itself? Why does it have to imitate other cars? I like what vendors like DF, Procars are doing. They re-reproduce the Honda upgrade parts with better performance but not to the point the NSX tries to look like other brand cars.
There I said it. Flame suit on. :redface:

It's to protect the front plastics from spidering in the very unlikely event that the car finds its way too close to any obstacle. Rob put the same on the 2000 and it doesn't detract from the appearance, I like it.
Here is a pic of the 2000 front end with the same black bumper thingie and if you look closely at the bottom of the front marker light you can see the side-emitting LED strip.
Rob, where did you get the little bumper thingie anyways?

I'm not a fan of add-on LED's in general, but I think you did a good job with the shape. I am going to go against the others and say that if you are bent on having them on, then this is the best "shape" I have seen.
I'd leave them on for a while. You can reverse it and it is not a big investment. See how you feel about it.

Nahh... we can trade if you want :biggrin:
I don't....but they are not visible from any standing distance. They fit right along the edge that is black. The light strip is black so you can't see them.
Im going to say different strokes... its their car... etc etc...
that said... PERSONALLY... I 100% agree with you
I recognize that this is a subjective thing though (although it is interesting that you dont see the level of... "extreme"... modding on EU exotics that you do on Asian or US cars)
As for these lights, personally, I dont like them. But if folks do then
Ive certainly seen much more horrifically monstrous mods than these relatively innocuous LEDs Similar threads
