Are there any options out there, or does it have be custom? I've had muffler shops throw things together for me in the past, but it's always easier if you have something to start with vs having them do all the bends, etc.

It does ride harsher now however... you feel the bumps a bit more. That's the only drawback. It feels more like a truck.

I HIGHLY recommend these tires, the close up pics should give anyone the info they need. Again, just simple Discount Tire setup.

If I don't like something, I get rid of it. I don't think I've ever written a review on a tire, but I did for these on the Lexus. If they fail me this winter, I'll for let everyone know for sure. Just looking at them, I can't imagine that they would.

Here's my "other ride"... so yeah, I'm picky when it comes to aftermarket parts.

The black rims make the GX look really aggressive! I like the new look. I saw pics of a GX on here with BBS wheels that would look nice in blac as well. BTW is your NSX supercharged? I was guessing the license plate stood for NSX supercharged! I rode in a Comptech supercharged NSX and it was one fast car. I like the way the NSX looks as well. Do you have any pics of the cars together? Here is a pic of the 4Runners and my M3. The M3 is modded and so is the ML. The GX is basically stock except for the Weathertech mats. I am installing the HID lights this weekend. Getting ready for a drive down to Los Angeles. The GX is very comfortable on long road trips.

Yeah, it's Sc'd. I'll take pics of both of them together when my new rims come in. Should be cool. Great looking M3 btw.

Hope to get out around Rainier this weekend, but the wife is due pretty soon, don't want to be stuck out there.....

Love your NSX! That car is timeless.
