I usually go to Don at Hilltop honda at Daly City for my fluid changes. He's honest and is known to service bay area NSX's. I'd do it myself but I afraid I'm going to screw up and mess up my car....but I'd love to learn! plus I don't have all the tools.

Basically just need a jack, a 23mm, 24mm, and a pump. Word of warning, diff oil stinks.

I've been taking mine to SF Honda's 9th street shop. I'd say the service is OK, factory parts, Honda techs. I get the sense that their experience with the S is about average (for example they weren't aware that the factory S02's are different than regular S02s... which they thought were discontiued). But there's never a wait for an appointment usually, the reason I really like to go there.

I just did it recently bro and it is E-A-S-Y. please *DON'T* pay some shop to do it. do it yourself and feel good about the $ you saved, as well as the peace of mind of knowing it was done right.
check out the thread posted by wthbtw-- I also posted a few snippets of advice in there too that will help ya.
have fun.

yeah, what is the reward? I might be free this weekend to help out... well, not free free, but... Trending Topics
garage will do the job for a nominal Soju or Sapporo beer fee.

Thanks everyone for the input!! I want to thank Racer for coming down to my place and supervise my work!! Tritium pie you were right it was very easy, it took us 30 minutes to complete the job!! I highly recommend doing it yourself. Can you imagine Grace Honda want to charge me $200 just to change my differential fluid?? 
Thanks again Racer!!
