They look good known, a tight fit on the DX uprights though required some notching I see. I have to make a template with the modified cuts for DX. I understand not everyone could use EX uprights. I have different outlets for the OEM caliper setup, I am waiting on word from Meris if they fit his NSX caliper.

I was completely happy JW even notching them. I could have spaced them out a little further with washers and not had to mod them probably but it wasnt a big deal at all. I expected on a custom piece there might be some mods needed.

I have them off the car right now, I could trace them or something if that might help you?

I need to see if I can mount these to my oem DX calipers Im going to run now, with a tab or something possibly.

I still plan on doing a writeup like I told you, just been busy recently.

You might also want to trade me those back and get these for an OEM caliper. Then I will have the modified DX Wilwood template from yours.

I started working on my own using the fog light openings, but haven't worked on them or the car in forever. unfortunately, i'll probably sell the car or part it out because I have no time for it anymore and would rather pick up an s2k that I can daily and beat on at the track. Look at post #74 at the link below to see what I started.

Current set-up, which is a mockup for testing. Worked like a charm, no fading at all, redoing the lot with more durable components anytime soon. Cutted an old EK facelift bumper and used the foglight thingy as a duct on my eg bumper.
