Looks hot 
If I were you, I'd mask off the caliper and use a sanding block to sand the NSX letters for some contrast. Or you can use white or black paint and do it by hand. Hotness nonetheless.

i dont understand the logic of all that work only to but ebc green pads on there. please use a diff pad. also what are you plans for the rear? it seems like you will be shifting the brake bias way to the front which would cause the fronts to lock up way way way faster then the rear which results in much easier loss of control especially on a fwd car. dont take this the wrong way. good work, just concerned

the stock banjo bolt that holds the brake line into the back of the caliper is too large and the threads dont match up to the nsx calipers so i had to order new banjo bolts
plus there are two screws holding the wheel hub which were rust and a bitch to get off so were still trying to find a way to get them off without stripping the screws
anyone know wat to do??

Looks dope!
The Legend calipers are actually a little bigger than the NSX calipers, but you have to swap them to oposite sides and flip them updise down to mount. Then the bleeder valve is at the top and it's hard to remove the air bubbles. We tried to make it work on my buddies Integra.
Can't wait to hear how they work out for you.
