You are a nutcase!!!! You gave me a list of things to do as if i was going to dump 15k into the car next week!!

NSX modding is pricey and used parts arent as common as my older cars were. So this will take time to mod for me.

While the spoiler is hot, i just cant get myself to drop over $1k for it anytime soon.

I'm trying to sell them because a bunch of used sets are selling on NSX prime, so I thought I'd save some money and get those (VOLK LE28's, some HRE's, etc). The GTV's are my first choice, so if they don't sell by the time they arrive.... no biggie and I'll keep them.

Are you going to do the whole NSX-R conversion? That would be sweet! I think may be we should have a NSX forum too!

I think I voted blue in the poll, but Imola Orange really kicks ass... it's one of those colors that just grows on you...
