Thanks guys. Sorry guys, no more full shots/pics. I will probably do a full shoot with all the new winter/spring mods in the next several weeks or so. I have the TE's as well. Going to test fit them this week to make sure the clear these brakes. If they do clear, I'll be alternating between two sets of wheels. Also, for those wondering, I had the brakes custom painted by a bodyshop imola orange pearl. They applied about 5-6 layers of clear on top as well. The good guys at stoptech sent me replacement decals.

Very nice. Hey, what made you go with slotted as opposed to cross-drilled rotors? Just curious.

how do you like the tires anyways? considering them for my next wheel setup as they seem to be a great bang for the buck

and for what the tires cost you don't have to worry about accidentally roasting them

and as always your nsx looks hot, how are you going to choose between those and the TE's on a regular basis?

Get some VREDESTEIN Ultrac Sessanta if you want great bang for the buck. IMO

alright let me know if you have any updates soon.
they are probably not what you would want, they last for quite a while and are decent if not good in all aspects from what i've read.
And at 100 bucks a tire on tirerack for 18" tires, that's a pretty damn good deal, 6th cheapest out of 92 tires when i searched for my tire specs.
There is def some good reviews of them with an avg reviewer rating of 8.3 out of over 1500 reviews. Ranks 5th out of 43 tires in Ultra High Performance Tires.

This seems like the definition of bang for the buck
but to each their own

those brakes look so good, i'd be worried to get brake dust on them

very nice looks awesome. gotta say I never would have thought about putting those advans on an NSX but I went back and looked at the thread of full shots of them and they look really good.
