for vsxx they have different disk type. if i planned for bbk, i would just need to get high disk and then i can do stoptech or other bbk no problem. but for this setup i went with standard disk for more lip. and yes, i prevented myself from getting bbk hahah

Very nice Henry! A classic look for sure.

You know what else I would consider is the Smartenna and HEPA filter mod (DIY is a lot cheaper than Downforce), both functional mods. Maybe clear corner lights in front. And don't forget the Type R chassis bars!

But of course this will all be done in Phase 2, coming soon I'm sure.

haha thanks mike!

actually i disconnected the antenna already so it doesn't go up at all. i don't listen to radio anyway. i put in ipod integration (cd changer gone) which is my main audio source now

HEPA filter? gotta look for that and see what it is

i am waiting for the chassis bars to be available

not a fan of clear corners, seen them. i might get some factory ones and painted them white to match though. still trying to see if someone selling used ones cheap, hahaha

The NSX has no HEPA filter, so installing one helps with odor and dust coming in to the cabin from the fan/ac. A good mod for someone who is driving it a lot!

thank you! i really wouldn't have done it another way, it was either the vsxx or the bbs lm in gold. i think mesh wheels on the nsx are the right choice

couple of reasons. main one is availability. 18 front is easy to find, but 19 rear is very very hard to find and usually come at a price premium that i don't think make sense. and also on the nsx, part of me feel that original jdm wheels is a better match.
