Nice NSX aerokit

MAJOR STONER · 7 April 2002

I would like to do my hood. I pefer the look of the scoop and mesh type over the louvered type. The louvered type seems to be able to retain the spare wheel (only the fuse box needs to be lowered an inch). An important consideration, in my book. I am trying to figure out how the louvered model hood looks without the louvers.

I prefer the dual-scooped (or louvered) hood over the OEM hood, which is relatively plain.

Prefer scoops to louvers, but WOULD like to have retained more front under-hood space. Not necessarily to store the collapsible spare tire, but to house other "secret mods".

That CF unit that SoS posted looks SHARP IMO. Is it available with black or silver mesh ??

I was over at the SoS site comparing hoods. I was considering asking Chris if he could glue some engine cover mesh onto the JGTC hood's openings.

My hood uses the perforated aluminum screen from the Dali STONED shield... might be more durable than mesh.

Were these pics taken in Japan, cuz that car in the background of the bottom-most pic (with the diablo wheels) is definetly not A-spec, looks like a little mitsu or somethin, is it?

I like the skirts, the "scoops" (holes) aren't as big as the real scoops behind the doors, on some kits there's a huge gaping hole, which looks awful with the real one. The hood not bad but where did you think of those pins, looks tacky to me. The wing, it kicks, but aren't the exhaust pipes supposed to go in the huge ducts in the back? oh well, I'd pobably get it if it was for a show car, but for a regular drivers its too outrageous.

and one more thing, whats with the Honda badge on the front, that certinly doesn't add anythin, i think it takes away from the overall blending to the car

defently not the US of A proberly japan i'm guessing but the "H" would come on that car i figured everyone here would have known that!!??!!

I'm not sure.. but just to note that the vehicle is LHD. Japanese NSXs are usually RHD.

JDM front fenders, "H" nose badge, and rear tail-lamps (amber turn signals, asymmetric reverse lamps and "H" center section). That front license plate mount is also more common in Japan.

AAAARRGH! You you got me obessin' about my hood. The Burn Up hood is starting to look better and better. Now I gotta make room for car parts in the garage. Anyone else lay in bed at 3AM thinking about hoods?

Manuel, that's a good idea. I'll look into it as an option, but it would also be very easy to do yourself.

Back to the rims for a second!
I too thought they were the OZ Chrono's, but the wheels on the red NSX has 5 lugnut holes, and the OZ Chrono's that I've seen pics of all have 10 lugnut holes, which I dont like the looks of!IMO...

NSX R/C · 26 April 2002

Does this qualify as an NSX? although 1/10th in scale...

MAJOR STONER · 26 April 2002

I think I found a picture of the louvered hood sans louvres. Looks like the guy used clear palstic instead of mesh. Still looks too deep for a spare, IMO.

What is the difference between the SORCERY and the BURNUP front end / bumper ?? They both look very similar.

IMO, both are better than the TAITEC one, and a stylish alternative to stock.

Can someone clarify, particularly with respect to:
- pricing and availability
- materials (and ease of prep/painting)
- ease of fitment
- weight
- ground clearance

chris, is this a GT500 hood without the louvres, or is that a different hood entirely?

ediddynsx · 20 January 2006

For track probably I will like it....for the street.....hell no! That looks disgusting for the street.......sorry but thats just my opinion.

People need to stop watching the fast and the furious........

Jin1976 · 20 January 2006

I like the front bumper and hood very much. The bumper isn't too low and doesn't make the car look thick. To get a complete package I would go with Leacher's sideskirts and Taitec GT500 to get that JGTC look without widebody. Love those Lambo wheels too.

Nsex1991 · 20 January 2006

looks like a civic

rickysals · 20 January 2006

the sideskirts don't blend with the car at all

SNDSOUL · 20 January 2006

Man you guys dig up some old threads! I had that bumper in 02, sold it to NSXNBRLA and he gets nothing but complements on it? Maybe because he changed to the 02 headlights?
