I don't have anything useful to post other than an emotional response to seeing this car:



You may go back to your regularly scheduled thread.

The Z was probably much faster in a straight line, but theres no way it's gonna out-handle the mid engine NSX

It's a '92 and he got it for $34,000 with around 36,000 miles on the original engine and everything.




He paid $6000 for the hood too crazy

Amazing car man, congrats!

It's funny, I only returned to this thread because I saw this other NSX and thought of you You got a much nicer example with great mileage.

Here is my new downforce NSX-R Diffuser and Carbon Fiber Spoiler. The section of the rear valance that attaches to the diffuser will be painted black to match the diffuser soon. I apologize in advance for the dirty comptech exhaust tips.

Also, installed is the shark shorty antenna. Personally, I prefer a clean look, but it was the next best option compared to the monstrosity of the stock antenna.

NSX-R spoiler looks great. It really would look a lot better once you painted that orange part in between the diffuser though

The poll still makes me chuckle, yellow vs. blue.... ended up with orange

I don't know about that, he has his own style and taste. However, I've had ALOT of downtime this week so I have been PM'ing him (aka FLOODING) mod options left and right. If anything, perhaps a bad influence. LOL!!!!

Another idea to explore, since you are going with the CF spoiler and NSX-R defuser, is the JDM tail light conversion or tinted tails. I think they would flow very nicely with the CF spoiler, no?
