I've been watching this for a little while, and the NSX has come along ways. Still pretty rough, and I'd strongly recomend painting the inside of the body, just to make it look better, and if your selling those rims, I'd buy them real fast, gotta love them twin RSX's

The black NSX wheels? Nah.. plan on keeping them on the car since it will be an all black kind of theme.. stealth ya know.

I plan to do the inside as well since the yellow still shows on the wheel wells.. probably going to break it out here in a few and start sanding and working on the bondo some more.. need to apply a little more in a few places and hopefully I will be almost done.

Edit: Darken, I was surprised I got them to fit under the back with it lowered, but I had to put the front to stock height.. and it still barely fit.

Looked like a "donk" too, I got a good laugh.

I have another update.

Not quite finished but I am almost there.

I need to get some headlight lenses, which I have some found I'm pretty sure. I also need to trim the hood some since it still won't sit down all the way with the body drop. Also, it's dirty in this picture as you can tell.. it's late and I should be in bed.

Need a few more adjustments back here, some more prep work on the bumper and some paint.. but, that's how the rear will look. First rear shot I've put up.

And, the over-all look. I think it looks gorgeous, nice and smooth.

If you want it nice and smooth, you should probably do something with the hood. IMO the NSX isnt looking ttoo great, because of the flatness of it. Looks like a rectangle if somethings are put in certian places, but its a great job, but not my kind of car. I also see you molded the stock roof scoop onto it. Do you have another one? I could use one.

ling427ttvette · #27 01-29-2008, 12:13 AM

Actually the windows are still taped over. I still haven't removed the scoop actually, I don't want to run it. I took the screw out but I couldn't get the scoop to pop out.

And, I want to do something with the hood but I wasn't really sure what to do. I thought about smoothing it out, but the hood really isn't that horrible looking IMO. I might mess around with it, try making a photoshop of it smoothed out or something, but I might keep it as is.

Once I get the tape off the windows, if I can pop out the scoop it's yours.

dontspamme · #28 01-29-2008, 12:16 AM

I'm not saying the hood looks bad, but IMO it doesnt really flow with the rest of the car. How much do you want for the hood scoop? Got something planned for that.

ling427ttvette · #29 01-29-2008, 12:19 AM

Just PM me your address and I'll cover it.

Hoping to be done by the end of the week, should be able to take the tape off by then.

I can see why you say it doesn't flow, a nice smooth look all around and then the hood has the hard lines in it.. I'll see what I can do with it.

dontspamme · #30 01-29-2008, 12:22 AM

Cool, thanks man. Hope you get that hood fixed! and I think I have the headlight lense form the bodykit. Not sure if I can find them though..

Edit, isnt it time for you to get to bed?

ling427ttvette · #31 01-29-2008, 12:23 AM

I heard the lenses from the body kit have a yellowish tint to them? Hell, if you wouldn't mind trading the scoop for the lenses if they are clear that would be pretty sweet.

Edit: If anyone needs it I also have the spoiler off of this thing in perfect shape.. don't need it either.

dontspamme · #32 01-29-2008, 12:25 AM

Yea, the lense has a yellow-ish tint to them, but I'm sure you can get it off. Using Noturday's clear headlight lense tut. Sand the colour off then clear coat it, but I'm not entirly sure about it since I never tried it.

Nice job (so far), nice and clean.

darkendblades · #34 01-29-2008, 01:16 AM

dude sweet and if its ok with you can I post a pic of my Nsx's front bumper to show you how they look the same. I de some work to it awhile back , and we kinda have things matching in that area,LOL.

ling427ttvette · #35 01-29-2008, 08:56 AM

Go ahead, post it up. I'd kind of like to see yours as well.

I can't wait to get all of the little details sorted out now. Still need to spray the underside of the body, probably going to re-paint the orange on the turn signals into it, and I still need to take everything back apart and clear it a couple times.

darkendblades · #36 01-29-2008, 11:16 AM

ok man here ya go let me know what you think i say thier pretty close in how they look. and check the lowness and diffrence in body curve in the 2 front bumpers.
