NSX Shopper: Anyone know this SEMA build?

[Robbys3m3]

Hi there,
I've been a long time lurker and now in the market for an NSX, and not scared of highly modified cars. I apologize if I missed it, but I couldn't find any information on that car through searching, and that was surprising. Is anyone familiar with it?

Thanks,
rm

It is. Im interested but just trying to do due diligence on the build given its SO custom.

Probably couldn't build it for what they are asking. Not sure how the air suspension effects things like sway bars and the like. I can't imagine this thing handles very well. Probably all show and no go.

Was previously for sale here back in 2006. Likely unmodified at that time.

I don't know what the material is on those seat cushions and the door panel inserts; but, with the carpet it is all a little too much Las Vegas Bordello for me. Also, the roll cage is just stupid on what is obviously not a track car. Notice how the roll cage precludes ever using the sun visors - so why not just remove them. I expect the graceful bends in the roll cage tubes pretty much ensure that the roll cage would never pass muster on a technical inspection if the car was entered in a class requiring a roll cage. The side roll cage tube combined with the low ride height when parked would make for some interesting entrance and exit moves. Perhaps a car best avoided by anybody over 5' 10"?

Style is subjective and I am normally inclined to avoid offering opinions about personal expression of automotive style; however, this one does seem to have hit a nerve as a particularly egregious triumph of form over function. Perhaps it could be labeled the Kardashian edition? The last NSX styling exercise to generate such a reaction was the one with the Lamborghini door retrofit. Or perhaps I am just suffering the effects of that 4th espresso with breakfast and maybe this will look just fine after the caffeine has finished doing its thing.
