This is what the NSX's in Fast and Furious 2 should look like...IMO

BTW a company in japan does make a grill insert for the NSX to make it look TRish. If I find the link I will post it..I know for a fact its in the archeives..

so before Forum Nazi comes, take a look in the archeives

I'm in love with it.

There's a lot more going on there than just TR strakes. The whole ass end of the car is different. I'd wager that would be nearly impossible in real life.

The actual TR strakes for the NSX look absolutely horrible, IMO. That photochop looks great, however, since they basically completely redesigned the rear of the car...

Sorry should've used spell check.

That is one awsome looking car!!!! It's time to have the Pininfarina design updated nsx with the the 400+ hp reliable and feasible to maintain engine from Honda. While I love my nsx, Ferrari design does have the edge.

 

[Jimbo]

Why not buy a Testarossa then?

To me, this makes an NSX nothing more than an expensive kit car.

It's annoying enough to have people ask if that NSX is a Camaro or a Vette, but put those tacked on side strakes and then people would ask if that's really a VW underneath.

I was just just busting your balls

TRs are my fav. cars.

Why not get a TR? Because the clutch which accoriding to the Forza TR buyers guide lasts on average 2,000 miles, costs 7-8k to replace. Not to mention, 30k servive is $5-6,000..not to mention if something goes wrong with the car expect top pay!

That said, I still want one

You could always go for one of those Fiero TR "kit cars"

Thank You

YEAH.... Acura NSX Pilot posted it on the thread that *I* started...

this does look like a nsx with an expensive body kit... not particularly bad, but then it doesn't fit with the whole Honda/Acura philosophy.... simplicity & minimalism (while remaining functional and @($*&@$ SEXY!!!!)

Does anyone know what type of wheels these are? I'm looking for wheels with black spokes and a machine-finished or silver rim.

They look like 2002 Jeep Liberty wheels with the spokes painted black - no wait, they are 2002 NSX wheels with the spokes painted black!

NSXROSSA........I like it...

i emailed the original (not the MYNSX version) pix to my best mate ... he doesn't mind my NSX (but he's not crazy about it), and he LOVES the Testarossa... here's what he wrote!!!

"Nice car! I want one!!! It's the best of both worlds

"

that might be the bridge to bring him over to the NSX world!

I see more Diablo than Testarossa in this picture. Funny that nobody has tried a rip off version of the Diablo for the NSX. ZEES NSX did a horrible job of adding rakes to the sides. The doors look worthy of cleaning up the kitty litter-box. Even the web address has "cat=2" at the end of it!

How about these Work Equips? Actually any of the high-end manufacturers (e.g. HRE) can build you wheels with custom centers in whatever color you choose.
These wheels are actually Gerry Johnson's, off his 500HP Turbo NSX - check out how they look on his black car.
(p.s. not photo-shopped - these are actually on my car - very accommodating guy!)
