Quite an impressive list of mods and the car looks great.

One question, what’s up with the 2 sets of calipers in that 2nd brake pic?

Glenn...can never be too careful...Bruce's eye is much better trained than mine

besides...the wifey doesn't know about it yet so I guess you can say my toy is also "hiding out"...she'll know soon enough when she looks at the bank statement and says "WALANG PERA !?!?!?!"

LOL, Now that's an inside Filipino joke if I ever heard one.

Love the NSX. Always wanted one. Looks pretty clean too.
