Nice car Synth. And you are synth19 on Prime?

I love Imola Orange on an NSX. My first NSX test drive was in an 04 Imola Orange. If not for the orange interior, I might have bought it. I ended buying an 05 Silverstone.

Sorry Sync19, I meant no disrespect. Orange interior looks nice, but I'm not partial to it.

When you install your suspension, are you going to have the car corner balanced?

Synth, if I am not mistaken, ur NSX is NOT a daily driver.... I showed my wife some pics of yours and she was like.... if you want to stay with Acura, buy one of those.... my question is, how would I do with an NSX as a daily driver for a 30 mile round trip, 75 % highway commute 5 days a week? Thanks! Rick/Sith

but I can understand why its slow, its expensive as hell. people complain parts for the TL are expensive, how about 4K for an exhaust, take a look at Science Of speed for parts pricing....

Here is the update:

1. Diffuser installed and painted satin black
2. Orange portion of valance Painted satin black
3. OEM front lip painted satin black
4. Wheels should hopefully arrive within the next few weeks
5. Tires have arrived
6. Issues with coilovers resolved, sitting in garage
7. After a few weeks of driving, I realized I have 50% tints (I now can validate that 50% is weaksauce)!
8. Exhuast ordered, waiting.....

And of course, some new pics:

If I kept the stock look, I would probably get some spacers and drop. Typical honda tucked in look, and massive wheel gap.

Actually I'm not sure I was just reading off what it said on the rear windshield. Doesn't matter anymore though because I had my tint stripped and windows retinted with 15% tint today.

EDIT: The reason I think it was 70% is also because my car is from Cali and that's the legal limit there. It was really light so I wouldn't be surprised if the person who owned my car before me actually had legal tint done (waste of $$$ IMO).

looks incredible but you need dark wheels now. silver just doesn't match anything on the car except maybe the headlights.

not to many go for the blackout look, what they do is paint the raised area (2 projectors) Grand Prix White or Championship White to have the NSX-R styled lights.


This is Anil (serialNSXr)'s nsx-r which has undergone full conversion, notice the headlights being painted:
