I have H&R on my Nsx and very pleased with it. I can't imagine going over huge speed bumps with the drop. Definitely go with 19s or spacer for oem wheels.

Stupid Question? When you debadged the trunk lid, did it leave any holes/marks or are the letters/numbers just put on with adhesive? I like the look! Very clean!!! Also...how do you like the roof spoiler?
Thanks.

They are held on by double sided tape. Fishing line and goo-gone work great.

Yeah, no holes or anything. I had the Dealer do mine. Although in only fluorescent lighting, I could notice they scuffed up the area a bit when trying to get it off. Didn't really bother me as you couldn't see the scuff marks on any normal lighting. I think after waxing the car, I might have gotten them out anyway.

Looks clean with it debadged. I'm all about eliminating areas that don't help the design just stand out on its own, if that makes sense. Even the license plate sucks, that's why I still have my Black Dealer plate still on my car.

K-A...can you send me a picture (different angle) of the rear debadged (it'll help me determine whether to do it...since our cars are cloned). Thanks bro.

Yeah i love the debadged look much better. Nice and clean. Did it on my old 211 too. Even the front markers painted body color made a huge/slight difference if that makes any sense. Everyone looks at my front end and says they love it. Dont realize whats been changed right away then i point it out and they are all OHHH YEAH. They dont like the orange lights either. lol.

THe LED license plate bulbs I got from here: http://www.hid-lights.com/products/l...w/5603784W.htm

yeah rims are goin to be next just cant decide and tryin to get some hook ups too

Love the car. Dual spoilers.
