Hey Chris, Dave's wife knew what she was doing.

The NSX-R chassis bars are two bars that stiffen the front of the vehicle and are a must have, especially with a targa. It reduces cowl shake when the targa is off. They're only a couple bills in price and is one of the best cheap mods since there is no downside.

Also, the easiest way to lower the vehicle is with Bilstein shocks on stock springs. They've got two perches, and the lower perch drops the car about 1/2-3/4".

Good luck and post pics when you get some wheels.

I've also never seen the stock rims inner section painted like that. Got any direct pics? It does kind of make it look aftermaket.
yeah, I'm liking the 18/19 more.

previous owner painted the inner section. I'm not a fan of any black color on any wheels, unless it's black chrome.

I have the same fear....but more than mods I'd spend plenty of cash on changing/replacing many of the 20 year old parts. Even if they still work.

That's what happened with the SC300 I had. By the time I finished, it was a new car. It got expensive real fast.

Love the black with tan interior and the targa top. Not a fan of the auto transmission though but big CONGRATS on such a nice car.
