They did a great job.

I was going to have the same pieces made for my SI, but my guy suggested against the idea because he said the glare would be too strong and distracting (he used the word "blinding") while driving. That was something I had not previously considered, so I decided against the full door-panel.

Have you driven the car since you installed them? Is there a glare? How do you like them?

What did you drive before the NSX?

There is no glare, I really like the side bulkhead pieces, as they're visible from outside the car, and are a very visible piece of cf when getting in. The bulkhead cover is less visible than I had hoped, you have to look for it through the windshield, but it flows well with the side bulkhead pieces.

There is no issue with glare, the layout of the nsx results in the mirror being adjusted just above the bulkhead cover, and there is no real direct beam of sunlight onto the door panels. The car looks (and feels) very exotic with these items installed

I actually have two nsx's, I have a red turbo nsx, and this black nsx is my daily driver.

Before my red nsx, I owned a porsche, and since the nsx I have gone through several daily drivers before settling on a second nsx.
