Not bad looking. It looks a lot better than I had pictured in my head when you mentioned you had gotten one for it.

Yeah, it's not too bad. First time we put it on it was a bit snug... but now it fits great and can be done in a few minutes by one person...

Yeah, I was surprised too. Found it on eBay. Think it was like $150... so not bad. We only use it for road trips and it's only on to and from the destination... so it's worked out well...

Before drop


After drop


I had Bilstein shocks installed on my NSX a couple days ago. Picked it up yesterday. Kept the stock springs. With the shocks on the "lower perch", it lowers the car overall 0.8", but it significantly improves the wheel gap front and rear. The only decision left is whether to add a 3 mm spacer to the rear, but it looks OK already to me for the most part.

Spent the weekend putting the summer set on and giving it a nice wash. A full detail and wax to follow in the next coming weeks. So glad to have the sticky tires back on.

Those wheels bring back memories. I remember so many 2G TL/Cl had similar wheels

Still need to respray the rock damage to the rear quarter and redo the front fenders to keep less debris from being spit rearward. But it was a nice day out and it was kinda clean.

Kris,

Knowing the amount of work that went into your TL, it's a truly treat seeing it so clean & finished

Oh yea, I showed my mom your car after the recent additions and she wants a front lip now.

"Ohhhh, that looks nice!!"

Before you know it, her car is going to look better than mine

OEM front lip ftw

Officially the best-looking 2G TL I've ever seen. Do you ever drive it still, or has it been just a project all these years?
