Couldn't sleep last night so I pulled an all-nighter on my NSX

I picked up a set of KW V3's yesterday and a Dream Sports CF Spoiler last week.
Last night I started working on my car. Intended to do just the fronts as it was harder than expected. I started at 5:30pm and only did the fronts by 10pm. I was going to go to bed but continued to do the back (which where MUCH easier) and then decided to get my wing on with the help of my new heat gun (to help remove oem). I was done by 2PM and would do it all over. If I were to do the KW V3's again, I'm confident in getting it done in 2-3 hrs as this experience helped me a lot.

BTW, KW's ride INCREDIBLE.

Here are some pics that I managed to take. Helps having a 3 bay garage so I pulled the MR2 Turbo out and parked nsx at an angle to have plenty of space.

Enjoy.

Despite smashed finger and cursing out loud and looking like a crack head in my garage in the middle of the night, I would do it again.

The NSX looks great and I can't seem to stop drooling! It has to be one of my favorite cars.

WHY MUST U WRITE THIS junior? LOL....

Nice NSX u got there and definitely nice to see another KW user loving his setup. Are u gonna corner weigh the car?

willitfit: Nice to see another GD owner using KW on here. Just like to know how long u've been using your V2 setup and if u got any pictures of your car. Is there a kw dealer that u can recommend me to get the setup from?

KW's are a great choice for street and some track application. I rode in them as well and they seem pretty smooth.

The v3 is designed for the track with street usage.
