FXMD Wide Body Kit on Turbo NSX

nsxrmaniac · 19 November 2013

Hey Everyone,

New to the forums. I recently purchased a 1992 Red NSX (Turbo) producing 539whp at 11 psi from a fellow primer (Tech7042) and also purchased the FXMD WideBody Kit and Forged Specialty rims from another fellow primer (Source 1).

Thank you to both. This NSX is absolutely perfect in every way mechanically and I have always admired Source 1 Blue NSX. So I guess I have the best of both worlds here and ready to make the transformation.

Here are pictures as the car is today. I am currently getting the bodykit primed as it will be wrapped in 3M Satin Pearl White.

More pictures to come as I get the pieces ready for install and wrapped. The Advan Model T5 rims will go on for sale. I will post more photos when they come off the car.

Hi Sean! It was great meeting you a couple of weeks back at the Import vs Domestics car show. Can't wait to see it with the widebody! Those pics dont do your car justice man! That thing is so beautiful.

SOURCE 1 · 19 November 2013

Car is already beautiful! Can't wait to see it with the kit and wheels. OH and in WHITE. Send me pics when it's complete. I'm pumped to see it

Thanks man, I heard you purchased one in New York. Can't wait to see it. You know Derrick from Apacauto and Leon from Just Tint and Signs? They are getting everything prepped and sharing new ideas. They are insane when it comes to detail. Going to be exciting to see the transformation.

JoseJA1979 · 19 November 2013

Yes I know them. They are part of our car club. You NEED to join! That would make 3 NSX's in our club. is your car at Derrick's right now? I live not too far from his shop. We have to hook up some time.

My original idea was to buy a salvaged NSX and add the FXMD widebody and turbo. Looks like you're building my dream car! LOL

Hey Brian,

Thanks for comments. It was your NSX that pushed me over the edge when it came to choosing the body kit. Thanks for sale.

Your Forged Specialties are perfect for this as you already know. My guys love your rims are going to color match the satin black off the rims and rewrap the canopy to match the inner face of the rims and the side mirrors are going to be gloss black to match the outer lip.

That is awesome. I'm sure it will look amazing. That white was my next color. Glad you decided to go that route.

FX Wide Body Pieces getting prepped and primed. Car is going into shop for breakdown this weekend.

Lamini · 7 December 2013

I would've picked up Tech7042's car in a heartbeat if I didnt already have one. It was a bargain at its price:
- Maintenance, check
- Turbocharged, check

Thats an understatement. Lot of TLC work into the car.

Hope to see each other around.

Make sure to have before/after pics!

Testing Fitting FX Widebody front quarter panel

JoseJA1979 · 8 December 2013

Looks like it's going to be easy to fit the kit!

Coz · 8 December 2013

Having installed 4 of these widebody kits, I found it best to start by fitting the side skirts and lining them up with the door lines before front fenders and rear quarter panels.
Its a very good kit fitment wise. Very few adjustments have to be made.
Ken did a great job with this widebody kit.

My NSX started out looking just like yours does in it's OEM form before I put the WB kit on.
Its a beautifully done kit.

Welcome to the FXMD widebody club

Looking forward to seeing it completed.

nsxrmaniac · 8 December 2013

Thanks. I didn't know there was a FXMD Widebody club. Are there a lot of these out there? Personally, I really liked the Route KS (Madonna Kit) but it seemed rather expensive and the wait was way too long.

Coz · 9 December 2013

LOL...Not really a club, but yes.
I did the first one that was the prototype 3 years ago.
There is now 7 of them counting yours running around.

Left Front and Rear Quarters off.

Right Rear Quarters today. Test fitting. Still making minor adjustments.

Front Bumper needs to be trimmed and rebuild.

nsxrmaniac · 14 December 2013

Need to clean the shop, so we decided to put the wheels on and back it out. Kit is assembled but still needs fiberglass work and adjustments. 15mm rear spacers needed too.

JoseJA1979 · 15 December 2013

Maybe even a 25mm? You've got quite a bit of room back there

Finished areas and repaint calipers black

Off to Leon @ Just Tint and Signs for wrapping Satin Pearl White. Derrick had to dissemble the car once again. It was a long night, but too anxious to wait until morning, so they did the trunk first. I love the level of detail on the underside of the trunk. This will be done throughout.

Congrats! Which turbo?

JoseJA1979 · 26 December 2013

Sean,

Did you end up buying a VRH kit?

nsxrmaniac · 28 December 2013

Not yet.. Still contemplating on the suspension lift.

Soon, the wait might not be as long as you think! :wink:

The car is coming along great, cannot wait to see the finished result!
