Wow. So this is the first build thread.

Factory aero kit with a new set of rims?

No rotor up front. BBK already?

Sweet. Can't wait to see this. Hopefully it includes a drop with new rims just to see what may be possible.

Thanks guys! Acura underbody kit is a must and along with some aftermarket goodies for sure. Those are my plan for this build. There is almost nothing aftermarket parts available for this vehicle yet but I will find way to put something together for us.

Nice!

The hood is popped because he is going to extract that 'shield' and replace it with a custom carbon fiber replacement. (that would be the first thing I did if I had this car)

Probably same as the J series predecessor...block-primaries-jpipe (looks more like an L pipe though).

OMG, Infatuated with that color NSX. One day, when I grow up!

I agree...I'm happy he's sharing too. Looks to be some ground breaking modding on a model we haven't even seen yet. in my book.
