So this is my 2nd NSX , my first being a 91 with 20000 miles but it had the flip up headlights and I really wanted the new front end but couldn’t source the conversion so I sold it and picked up a twin turbo 95 Toyota Supra and started building that.

During my long build on the supra which is still ongoing I was missing my NSX so I started looking for a replacement which took me about 7 months when I found this 1994 with conversion, 80000 miles, and some extras at a dealership. After some negotiating I ended up bringing it home.

I was super excited to have a NSX again and had only planned to fix a few things that were missing or broke; otherwise the car was in great shape. I then took it to its first show, which there were four other NSX’s there. Three of the cars where white NSX-r themed cars. Since I own a body shop I had to switch it up a bit while keeping it clean but keeping the NSX-r theme.

Here are the results of the build performed by my shop Phantasy Kolors Custom Paint and Body work.

This is how it was when I bought it

Love it!! Awesome how you took a complete NSX-R rep and made it your own. I also repainted my Champ white NSX-R Rep to the Lime Green for a crazy look!!

I believe this car was in HI for a while as well when it was still white? Or was this the one that was involved in the NSX's gone wild video?
 
Car looks awesome. I think you should add some wheel spacers and add a factory black front spoiler.

This is the HI car, the other car is speak of is owned by another Prime member in L.A. area still.
 
Great build. Awesome color. And great work with the cf.
 
All that carbon is just badass... But I'm a carbon whore. Lol
 
Wow! Amazing work and love the color!

Personally I would have painted the calipers and logo's on the wheels a different color, like yellow or something, to give it just a bit of contrast. But overall, very clean and beautiful car!!
 
Thanks everyone for the compliments, my next item i will be adding will be wheel spacers. I'm getting a lot of questions asking about cost for Phantasy Kolors to do carbonfiber on some parts, i haven't came up with any prices yet but should have some soon. I will post up some more pictures of some more carbon work we are working on as soon as we are done with them. Also sorry for the poor quality in 80% of the pictures, i was using my cell phone most of the time.
 
Whoa... now that's a transformation! With your CF overlaying prowess, perhaps you can mock-up the side-intakes & front-lip w/ CF. I think those pieces/places would offer a nice contrast & match-up nicely w/ the other CF bits.
 
Awesome to see the carbon fiber stuff! This may be a weird question but did you have any problems getting the wheels to balance out after doing them?
 
So all of the CF you have on the car is purely cosmetic (all wrap) and non functional? While I appreciate the overall build and attention to detail, all the non-functional CF drives me bonkers :confused: Maybe I'm in the minority, but I can't stand the CF "look."
