UPDATE: 12/14/09
Just received my UPS tracking so my 19" BBS LM's will be here just in time for my Birthday this weekend! woohoo :biggrin:
Planning to run 285/30's out back for a nice wide tire in the rear so stay tuned!
Thanks to another nsxprime member I was finally able to obtain this beautiful Comptech brace. I'm going to do a few more mods and my engine bay should be show worthy....
(as a result I have a almost new DALI Billet polished Triangle brace for sale in classified section if anyone is interested as pictured above^)
here's my new engine brace:

kyo126 : This is where photography and lights don't mix - the color is actually a perfect match but somehow the color got mixed up during photo editing perhaps?
The headlights are 6000k xenon, the LED's are 6000k and the parking lights are matching 6k as well
I love that tunnel shot - was amazed we got that shot considering we had no special closure of the tunnel to capture that image! This is one of the busiest tunnels that connect Marin County to San Francisco by crossing the Golden Gate Bridge.

Great ideas in this thread (both from a photography and car accessorizing standpoint)!
I've always thought that the string of LEDs belong on an Audi (and specifically an R8), and shouldn't be posed on other vehicles. While it may look "cool" when copied, I believe the NSX has enough originality on its own.
As for the photography, a little white balancing would solve a lot of the color abberations in the tunnel shots. Nonetheless, I'm guessing the tunnel shots were "get it while you can" style and didn't allow for proper setup time. Considering how nice these shots turned out to be overall, I'd just turn them to black and white to compensate.
Again, great stuff throughout!

2010 promises a lot of change for this car as I've decided to go for a different look overall.
Nothing drastic, no ricey CF mods or any crazy body kit. I finally received my 19" LM's after waiting 6+ months from Japan. Ordered on June 23, 2009 and got them just before Xmas
On the agenda is to change my rear diffuser look and also got some big plans to upgrade the engine a bit more in terms of HP and cosmetics.
Frankly at one point I was planning to put this car up for sale and move onto a 2010 Audi R8 but after looking at overall costs in this economy just doesn't make sense.....
So look for a fresh face-lifted look and a more complete NSX this year as I slowly do the upgrades
