Nice OP. Any plans for the car to make it your own? What do you envision yourself focusing on?

different lights head lights , maybe a fresh paint job. I think its about done cosmetic wise other than maybe some volk te37 and bags eventually. Then motor work will be last, probably a fully built motor.

Interior update:
Wrapped the trim pieces in 3M steel wrap and installed the real carbon fiber interior kit over the wood, only downfall is you can still see a slight edge of the ugly wood

Looks good...use some black touch up paint or plastidip to cover up the visible edges.

I love me some CF but not digging that kit, it's too glossy for my taste.

Also black > tan for sure!! I'm lucky to have my WDP with a black interior already.

good luck with your find. You may be able to search the black market to see if anyone is parting out their black interior too!

Carbon fiber looks great, I would wrap the under pieces black first, but i guess your best option now without removing the carbon fiber pieces is to use black touchup paint.

Your ride looks great man! Ive always loved the Stormtrooper look, keep up the good work! I do have to ask though, and maybe its been covered already and I missed it, but what's with the red ripped Acura sticker in your rear window? Just curious

Ahhh, that makes sense. There was something I knew I recognized about the sticker but I couldn't put my finger on it, love the subtlety and the pride!

LOL...mine looks good, but it was really hard to work with, my buddy/painter had to work it twice to get it flat and smooth and it still has little ridges on top when you see it from some angles.

I love the oem look of the type S NBP, but I do think I'd regret trading/selling. It's been the one major thing to kinda make my car unique to look at.
