Only just got round to reading this thread.
WOW. Amazing transformation. Totally love it.
The greddy front lip has always been my favourite lip for the 5th, but I didn't like the Greddy embossed. So smoothed it just looks perfect!
The green colour with the white wheels combo is also spot on!
Top work.

Thanks guys...
@rob, cheers dude, glad like it
@nitin, I hope my car provokes some naughty thoughts at your end
@mart, i agree, looks better without greddy written on it...keeps a bit of that prelude class..
I was gonna respray black and do wheels in bronze.. In the end, took some guidance from a few guys here
And a mate pointed out the 2 NSX Type R in the UK r green with white rims.... I was hesitant but so glad I did it..
@bb1, yours ain't so bad either...
@nafe, hahaha....
@andypandy, there r nice ones in both gens I guess, it's wether they modded to your taste ...there's quite a few 4ths I like
On here and I wasn't always a 4th fan.. Get a good base car and build to your taste....
Too be honest guys, i bought the car because it had leather and low mileage.....green was actually my worst and bottom choice of colour........ But I do love it now, like everything is in Harmony
And appreciation from you guys is the icing on the cake

I am sooooooo fussy with all lude kits, but I have to say that one really does strike the balance perfectly.
I'm not generally a fan of 5ths in the looks department, but the right one, very much so.
Your mods have taken a pretty average looking car (IMHO and with total respect) and made it look exceptional, without looking at all OTT.
Bloody good job!
