I had it put on my Acura NSX a couple of years ago. I like the protection from rock chips it offers (especially on such a low car as the NSX) and it is almost invisible depending on the color of your car (some colors hide it better than others). My clear bra was a 3M product applied by an authorized installer of it. I think I paid around 500 dollars to cover the front bumper to half way up the hood and on the side view mirrors.

I put these: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...l=Potenza+G+009 on my wifes 2000 es about 21000 miles ago. They are wearing well and handle in the dry and snow much better than the oem tires. Plus, I bought them at costco for 350 installed for all four. I dont think that costco is carrying bridgestone anymore but they are fairly inexpenive. Also, the size and profile that go on the es (16 inch) are not at all loud as people have remarked in the reviews on the tire rack page. They remain quiet and smooth.

The NSX runs fine off of 87 also... I've never seen 97 available in NY though... the best we get is watered down 93 from crooked pumps. According to the NSX owners manual the NSX can be run on 87 octane because the car will detune itself but may be noticably less powerful.
