I'm gonna have to meet you in person some time this summer and do the rolling shoot. May be we can all get together with Dan and his new NSX and do a big shoot. I'll bring my camera as well.
Yeah sounds good, I have a couple more things I want to put on so maybe mid summer?

It's pretty loud, I put on the one without the resonator in the mid pipe. Sounds great at WOT, but drones in the 3~4k rpm range. Gonna try to get some sound clips on the weekend.

I picked up a set of Mugen brake lines a couple months ago and finally got them installed, along with a brake flush with Endless RF650.

After driving with the ARC exhaust a bit longer, it's a bit too loud for my taste, I'll have to try out the resonated one in the next couple weeks.

The paint was in pretty bad shape before I stored the car last year so I borrowed my friend's buffer and compound for the weekend and went to work.











A few steps later...





Pretty happy with the results, it wasn't a super thorough job, but getting those swirls out was so satisfying.
I got the OEM brown seats installed a couple weeks back also, loving the interior color contrast.



Also ended up swapping the non-resonated ARC exhaust out for the resonated one, huge difference in drone between the two.

Had a chance to test fit the Mugen bumper I picked up late last year. Unfortunately it only came with the bumper, and was missing all the other pieces (under tray, shroud, replacement bars and mounting hardware...), but it fits great. Going to get it painted along with the ASM lip spoiler soon. Mismatched pics for now:

I don't like Mugen bumper & yet, I deeply enjoy it in the photos above.

Hopefully the paint will cure soon and I'll get the pieces on the car by the weekend.
