Thanks! It's about to get longer over the next month . This wait is killing me.

i also recently deleted my antenna with a grommet supplied by acura.

Reading this thread almost makes me not to want to take the purist approach with my NSX. My current mantra is "wheels, exhaust, modern radio, done!"

BTW, do you have a sound clip of your exhaust somewhere? Still choosing. I won't install one until my car comes out of hibernation in the spring, but would like to decide and get the parts sooner.

Edit: So does yours drone?

A few more parts outside of the list you mentioned won't hurt lol.

It's funny you ask about a sound clip. I actually found an old one on my laptop last night. I'm at work right now but I'll upload it when I get home.

As far as drone in the cabin it doesn't but for anyone following you yes. I drove for an hour with friends behind me last weekend and they said it was loud but I also have intake, headers and high flow cats. I always get compliments on the way the exhaust sounds though.

Bob one part even a lot of purist will do is the 02-05 rear valence update. Definitely makes the rear look more up to date looking.

here's the vid I forgot I had it in my vimeo account. I never get on it.

Wheels + SUSPENSION. I will kill you if you upsize to larger wheels and don't adjust your suspension to at least the Bilsteins.

I second this comment.

OK, OK, OK. I'll cry "uncle" and at least look at the Bilsteins. On the lower perch, they give just under an inch drop, and I get to keep the stock springs. I don't need a full coilover system, my car's not going to be tracked enough to justify the KW setup that many track folks are in love with on Prime.

^I am on stock springs, lower perch - Bilsteins and spacers if you didn't know. May want to check out one of my threads. But agree with the gentlemen above.

your pictures were what made me not settle for another wheel and get the Advan RS again...absolutely awesome and I take what you say as gospel.

these should look familiar, these are the same wheels i had before. i sold my first set to a friend but regretted selling them. they're discontinued so the front specs were only in silver and the rear specs were only in black. i plan on powdercoating them white.

Yes! Loved that look on your car.

I tried my best to buy my old set back from my friend for a while but he wasn't budging. So I had to track down a brand new set.

I got my armrest reupholstered. The old leather on it has bothered me for a long time. I finally got around to getting it done.

wow, looks much much better!

i feel you on the wheels...went through the exact same bout with the advan RS I had on my previous S2000...I missed them so much...only difference is I kept in touch with the new owner who had bought mine for the rear only and had another set for the fronts, so he split the sets and sold them back to me. I ended up powderoating mega grey and couldn't be happier!

those look good. you got lucky to get them back.

thanks man...yeah, he was really really nice. Same boat with them being discontinued too...so I was kinda desperate...I regretted selling them a LOT!

fresh from the powder coater.

the decals were originally black but i had a graphics shop replicate them in red to match my car.


Untitled by diddy1226, on Flickr

dude, you do not fk around. I figured you'd get to it eventually and bam a day later, they're out of powder. Nice!

I'm not really sure when I'm going to put them on so I wanted them to be done when I decide too.

Those wheels look great!

thanks!

Hell yeah those are going to look good.

Damn Diddy... you did a fantastic job with this thing. I love coming in here and checking the updates :

I'm hoping so.

Thanks.

Looking good can't wait to see them on the car. I like you new wheels you got but loved these on your car before.

Yea I was ready to switch it up. I'm going to store my old wheels and get them refinished next year and have the faces done in a different color.

but but but I love them polished

Lol I do too but if I put them back on I don't want the same look I had before. I'm such a wheel whore who knows I might get another set and not even put them back on even longer.

now you sound like me with wheels

Lol.

No recent to semi recent photo shoots?

Lookin proper as always..

this is the most recent pic i had of my old set before i took them off.

Untitled by diddy1226, on Flickr

Sorry, not a fan of white with the red/tan/black theme you have going.
Your 2 other sets looked great.

But as long as you like!

im loving it. as many sets of wheels ive had in my life ive never done white, so i finally wanted to give it a try. they're so bright. that with the red paint is going to pop on a sunny day.
