Actually, not on my real car. I haven't fully committed down that path yet. :p It's for my 1:10 R/C car.

The pics are of my HPI 200mm JGTC styled NSX body painted black (of course). It's technically a 2002+, but I just merely painted over (or rather, under) the headlights to sorta resemble the pop-up variety.

I want one!
Where can I get it?

Local hobby shop. Its only the body, its like a cover for the chassis that you have to buy seperate. Cost vary depending on what kind of car you want. Nitro/Electric, Street/Racing, Etc.
 
thats a beautiful body ya got there, what kind of car ya got there?

And i never have painted an rc body black. i just know i'll get it upside down and be mad.

Didn't recognize it was yours because Christine wasn't in the photos. :D
I'm sure you could put a mini-Christine in there NEO! ;)
(well ..... go on then ....... )
If you hadn't given game away Randy, I'm sure it would have taken more than a casual glance to realize that was not a full-size NSX- great projection on the photos' back-drops to aid that illusion.
 
Question

I have orders two of these body's for my Los xxx. How did you do your hood? Great job by the way. Also did your body come with a rear window scoop?

Yeah, it came with the scoop. However, since I don't have one (yet?:)), I decided not to put it on.

As for the hood, it's a sticker sheet about 8 1/2 x 11 made by Parma with a carbon fiber style pattern on it. I trimmed it a bit so that it would conform to the hood scoops.

I did a favor for a fellow NSXer by painting one blue. I thought it wouldn't be such a bad idea to post a couple of pics, so here it is. (I think he plans on bringing it to NSXPO.)


EDIT: BTW, I forgot to mention. The black one is a slightly wider version (200mm) than the blue one (190mm) in case anyone cares to know.
