My Progress Pics - Not a G. =)
Well Rachel's G is pretty much done except for some big brakes so I'm saving my lunch money on that. Anyway, here's something new..
The lip is not painted yet and I haven't installed the center caps on the rims (still polishing it) , but nonetheless its turning-out pretty good.
The skirts aren't installed yet since I'm fixing the 'sagging' issue but the replica hood is looking great and with just some minor adjustments on the headlights, the gaps will be perfect. Not bad at all for a VIS and I am the last guy who will buy hoods from this company.
The lip is wings west (same as the skirts). yep another US company who has a reputation of bad design, bad fitment and bad quality but in the little world of NSX, they are generally accepted because of its price, design and not too bad of a fitment. I was going to go with a japanese aftermarket bumper but I cannot justify the $2000 + shipping from japan for a fiberglass bumper which by the way has some fitment issues on its own. BOOO! Though I am still determined to purchase that in the future.
Car is lowered now, but it will be lowered ~ 1.5 inches more so that means I have to install a rear camber correction kit because my $200 a piece Falken Azenis RT615 in the rear will be gone in 5k miles if I'm lucky.
Anyway, enough talking. Here's couple of pics..
The car sits pretty high even with oem/bilstein lower perch so hopefully the H&R springs will bring the nose down a lot lower.
What I like the most are the Advan Model 5 rims, these are my first choice for this car and I am so lucky to find one in great condition especially now that they are discontinued.
Hope you guys like it.
