is that the same body kit as your last NSX? ... Looks very close to your avatar.

yes, the first ORANGE nsx was also running the DOWNFORCE kit...

What are you doing about the oversized spacing created in the front around the tire/wheel?

i've enlisted eddie @ MACKIN industries once again to get some nice custom made wheels for me on this project as well. since we already have the specs from the first orange DOWNFORCE nsx, we just used the same size/offsets and ordered 2 new wheels to see which one would look best on final results.... :confused: :biggrin:
 
I see your GF is still unsuccessful in finding a cure for your sickness...:wink: :biggrin:

Why is this all one piece? Why not make the pieces separate?

pieces are seperate. they were put together for just photo purposes... looks cool huh? :tongue:
 
What colour are you going for. Looking sweet so far. Are you also going for vented hood to compliment the JGTC WB kit?
 
wowza... subbin for more updates!

I would've loved to see your old car or this one with an '02 update, but i guess some people just love those pop up headlights! I gotta admit, its gonna be gorgeous either way.
 
PART 5: CF hood just came in, and the VOLK GTV wheels are IN...
