TIA!

They should fit. I believe the Zanardi edition also had black mesh side grills

Funny, I just saw some carbon fiber inserts here...
Not that I advocate anything other than keeping it stock, you understand.

Has anyone attempted to add their mesh grills to their side vents. It is described in the DIY section...just wanted to see how long it took and if anyone has pictures available.

I agree... I had the Gruppe M side intakes (carbon fiber with black mesh -- MUCH lighter than the OE aluminum intakes), and later matched these with the mesh-covered ducts on my Wings West side skirts.Originally posted by TampaBayNSX-R:
The mesh gives the car a "tuner" look in my opinion. I did this to my car to coordinate with the mesh on my Marga Hills sideskirts. I personally like the look alot and it was a low budget upgrade.

Does anyone have a closeup pic of an actual Zanardi intake?

Does anyone know the difference between stock seven spoke 94-96 vs. 97-01 wheels?

The size and shape are identical, but the finish is different. The 1994-96 wheels are painted a color named "Solaris Silver" which is really a dark, gunmetal gray. The 1997-01 wheels look like they have a clearcoat over bare metal - polished but not smooth, like a brushed aluminum look to them, which Acura calls "Blades Silver".
The wheels are also available painted Grand Prix White.

Sorry for the crappy pic. I have to get a better camera one of these days.

I went to a local metal fabrication place, spent $5.00 for 3/4"x1/4' expanded aluminum, got a can of grey spray paint and added "intakes" to my green NSX in about 2 hours (total shopping and replacement time). Yep, I'm cheap but I'll bet you can't tell them from the "real" (expensive) ones.
