Taitec NSX-R Hood

[RyanITV]

Here's a shot of my '04 with a modified CF Taitec NSX-R style hood. We've got a slight adjustment to do to the front driver's side; the underside of the hood is hitting the headlight housing and keeping the hood from sitting completely flush. We're taking care of that Tuesday night (grinder, spot-touch up). Color match is damn near perfect - the painter said the tri-coat color was a bitch to match. I've got one more sliver of black to do on the roof (the top of the windshield frame) and then it's set.

What other goodies do you have?

Comptech CAI + exhaust, NSX-R boot/knob/bracing, billet pedals and (this week) a set of Volk SF Challenges. We're debating right now between the NSX-R and NSX-S suspension.

18/19, but I'm keeping the stock wheels for any track days I want to attend. The roads are nice enough around here that you can get away running the combo.

The combo's written down at the shop - 225/35/18 275/30/1 S-03s.

2003 type-r conversion

ZanardiO, the conversion is almost complete. The car is fully painted. Made some changes on the hood thats why this conversion took so long, I started off with a taitec hood, which Ryan purchased from me, then to a backyard special which I returned, next to a real jdm type-r hood. I should have pics of the car this week. The exterior is close to being done. The interior is the next. My door panels and behind the seat panels are going to Valance usa in virginia to be compltely done in carbon fiber. So I will be selling my door panels and panels behind the seats in two weeks if anyone is interested. I will post pics this week on following weeks until car is completely converetd to a 2003 nsxr.

Thanks, Frank

WOW! Frank you the MAN !! Now that is Bad!!!!JDM part ...may I ask how much is the hood cost you.? and did you have the JDM seats too? I can't wait for pics...please post pics ASAP!!!

[Frank Spano]

Aaron, the hood was $7,200 shipped. I was going to buy the jdm type-r seats but I was told that they were tight. I bought the bride zeta-2 seats which are the carbon/kevlar seats. The brides seats have the same design in the back carbon/kevlar that the real type-r seats have. My fabric guy is trying to locate the same material that recaro used on the real type-r seats. I will post pics as soon as my body shop guys start sending me pics.

Thanks, Frank
