That's a nice color combination (body/wheel). Can you post a side shot?
And I like the fact that you haven't installed side skirts. Looks good!

Looks great lowered! I have the same wheels, TE37s, and had to use a BUFF hammer on the wheel wells to keep it from rubbing.

Re: Official Pics of your NSX!
Thanks. Wow so you hammered that small area? I raised it a bit so it wouldn't rub the outer fender and plastic. I am having trouble finding higher end tires in that size, and might have to go wider to fit it. Then it will rub on the inner well on full lock for say U-turns. I really don't want to modify it that way. I am hoping to find the right tire size. Running 215's in the front, and 275's in the rear. I want 225's but it will rub on the inner part of the well.

Oh yeah. I'm supposing you know what the acronym BUFF means. I kept the wheel liners off and just sprayed rubber undercarriage spray in there to protect the panels. It's worked well so far.
I run 235/40-17 up front and 285/30-18 in the rear.

Nice. I wanted to keep it as stock as possible without modifying too much. I may have to go that route if I can't find a tire size. The 18's in the front are the hard. It seems the tire companies stopped making the width I want or need. Honestly, I also should go with a 17/18 combo. They definitely fit better, but I have yet to find rims that I really want. I like the TE37s but if I get another set, I would try something different.
I see you have the reinforcement bar, is that an intercooler? hood pins? you got some serious things going on there.

Going 18/19 would look better but that's a lot of unsprung weight to move around. The 17/18 combo weighs as little as stock Fat Fives. The only negative with a 17/18 TE37 combo is a higher polar moment.
No inter cooler. . There's a Type R reinforcement bar and NASCAR style Ron Davis radiator.

Re: Official Pics of your NSX!
yeah I weighed the 18/19 combo I have. It is 1lb heavier than the stock 16/17's I get where you mean the 15/16's stocks were a lot lighter. I imagine the tire adds about a lb or two depending on rubber type, and the fact I went wider, but mostly in the rear. I was always banking on the fact that the 3.2 and the 6speed make up for what I need in torque and such.
I added the R Reinforcement bar. It drives so much sturdier.
That's a really nice radiator. I haven't gotten there yet. When ever something wears out from age, I replace it with a small upgrade if there is one.
