If I get an NSX, the Z will be pretty much done by that time. That's one of the catches I have to clear up with the wifey. One car at a time, lol. As for a DD, it definitely makes me feel like I'm getting into a brand new Z all over again. That's why I'll never get bored of this car as long as I have my daily commuter.

You guys are spot on :-) I'm not sure if it's big enough to qualify as an SBC though.

this is what i am going for too, gotta love the NSX!

I couldn't find it online too so I went to their warehouse and bought it. I think it's not sold retail anymore because it's discontinued. I was fortunate that they still had a couple left. That's SoCal for you.....can't find what your looking for? Go straight to the source

I'm not sure when I will be attending or setting up a new meet. I have family visiting and I will be traveling in and out for the next few months.

Thumbs up

This is what I meant when using photo shop "before" buying exterior parts. Here are a couple pix I photo shopped just to get an idea of what wing would match "my" set up.

Blitz spoiler


APR carbon GTC wing


__________________


Alright here's a somewhat teaser shot of my new wing. Why did I choose the Amuse? Let's go back to my comment a few pages back when I spoke about "shape" and "even flow". It all starts in the front with the pointy long nose with custom cut fins. It flows all the way to the back and the Amuse IMO is the perfect fit for my stance. The base of the wing matches the fins on my diffuser and the slant on the wing edges uniforms to that of the slant on the Nismo rear fins. To me this was the only route to go and boy did waiting pay off for me

I was thinking of going the more subtle route with the Blitz spoiler but it was too bland and didn't flow with the aggressive fins on the diffuser and rear skirts. The second choice was a carbon GT wing, but I wanted to keep my car's identity along the lines of a "street car." The GT wing is sick, but I prefer that the wing looks like its a part of the car and match the shape of the body and lines according to my particular set up. What's also good about the Amuse wing is that its very light and I'm still able to keep my OEM trunk lifts.

I have yet to take this car out for a proper shoot. I know I've been slacking a lot on getting a photo shoot with my car, just been really busy. Once I get more angles, I'll show you guys what I mean about this setup being very uniform in respects to my goals and vision for this car. That's pretty much it for my exterior. I don't want to go overboard and keep adding stuff.....sometimes overdoing things can lead to rice


Actual photo of my Amuse type II wing
