Swift Spec-R springs (1.3" drop in front - 1" drop in rear).

20mm spacers in front - 15mm spacers in rear.

There was another thread here where another member purchased this set from eBay and I went and bought the same ones. So far no issues and the car rides great, here are the links:

http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/171386992773

And in case anyone is wondering about the tints, I have 20% 3M colorfast tint on sides and rear and 70% Crystalline on the entire windshield.

Thanks for posting this. I am going the same route (at least until I can get my aftermarket wheels). Car looks great. Those small changes make a big difference. You may not have had enough experience with it yet but, any issues with inclines, speed bumps or parking curbs?

Thanks! I do a lot of highway driving and have hit dips in the road and some very shallow potholes and have heard no rubbing at all.

I have driven over different size speed bumps and also no rubbing.

Parking curbs I avoid at all costs lol since they are all different sizes you just never know. But after parking I always go and look to see IF I would have had clearance and it looks like I could clear some of the smaller or normal size ones. But some of the other larger ones look like they could have ripped my bumper off even at stock height.

Default Wrapped RC F

Here the only before pictures I have, and a bunch of after. The only thing that isn't vinyl, is the side mirrors and the hood insert, those are painted. The gloss black on the roof, spoiler and door handles is vinyl. The guys who wrapped it managed to keep the led lights in the handles visible. I haven't decided if I'm going to paint the window trim pieces yet or not. Would love some opinions. Not much done yet just the wrap, custom stereo, Weather Tech's, 9500ix Escort Passport, and an Apexi Smart Throttle Control ordered today. Wheels and tires will be next, along with either lowering springs or coil overs. Haven't made up my mind on that yet either.





Before front




Before side

Yeah, not digging the green. But it only needs to look good to the owner.

Does Jeff still own that NSX?
