Local Pics-My Starbucks Daily Run and Run-Ins :)
Been a little while since I posted local talent I see on the streets of Dallas.
Today was rare color day...saw a TAP and a ES 2002-2005 models on the freeway, wasn't able to catch them.
Earlier in the week, I swear this other black SC is in love with mine and always parks next to me! LOL when I had my red SC at my gym, this lady would park next to me too on Saturdays only. I think she was just a weekender, not there every day, or maybe she drove her other cars like I did?
Nonetheless...check out the LAMBO just chillin' at the Starbucks waiting for some door dings!
Also, don't see a NSX everyday, and especially a SUPER clean early model. I suspect this one is a 1993-1995 based on the wheel style, or they could have just upgraded the wheels. Definitely not a 1996+ (different headlights) but a FINE example of one of the coolest cars ever made!!!!
Enjoy!

^yea, I agree with the drop, but SCdroptop is in the dillema of whether dropping it will make it impractical for daily driving especially during winter or if you were to hit a speed bump

you have to remember that when you put 20" wheels on your car, you're raising it 1.5" above stock height. so if you lower it, you can go back to stock height and it'll look much better. an extra half inch wouldn't hurt. just look how much lower to the ground that stock sc is sitting next to his.

2006+ tails are sitting on my work bench! Need to find time to put them on. Don't worry, change is coming!
I know, I know guys. I hear you all on the lowering. Truth is I have never lowered any car except for older cash cars that were not under warranty.
I have to cross two sets of railroad tracks daily-they about knock my fillings out of my teeth if I go faster than 30mph on them! Only my FX with 22's I can go a little faster.
How much are we talking to lower an inch or so...Tien I'm assuming? Who does the work? Not the dealer...right?
Honestly, I think your cars all look great lowered, but rarely have I heard of folks under warranty still doing it. Same thing with the lux link...my dealer said that if I ever had a direct problem with anything close to it, they would back off and tell me this would void it. That scares me...especially since I paid for the CPO on this car, etc. If not, I could have easily bought a 2002-2005 black on ecru or black on saddle and called it a day!
IStoSC-please post some sick Miami cars...I have a Ferrari and Lambo and Porsche dealer close to me, and see them regularly, BUT rarely just chillin' outside starbucks! LOL

tien comfort sport are the best option in my opinion. i had my motor mounts replaced under warranty after i lowered mine, so you shouldn't have any problems. they're fairly easy to install. lexus may do it, but their labor is overpriced for something this straight forward. i'd ask in your regional forum. i'm sure someone can recommend a reliable shop.

Geek note.. That NSX is a 1995 thru 2001 as it has the painted (non black), targa roof. Also the flush/new headlights weren't available till 2002.
And if you can guess that i was super close to buying a NSX, then you're right.. =)
Oh and the 97 plus came with the 3.2L, 6spd and larger brakes... Very nice upgrade from the earlier versions..

nice info on the nsx...I was very close...I said 93-95 but obviously had the gen's wrong. I noticed the front parking/fog light combo looked different and obviously the wheels, so I knew it wasn't the very first gen which according to your dates would have been 91-94, right? Makes sense with Honda/Acura year updates. I had a 94 accord that was a new bodystyle and a 95 Legend which had a lot of new lights and interior features over older years of the Legend.
The flush light gen was a big change. Loved the orginal one. Would love to get one still today!!!!
