What?!?! Why?!!?!?! NSX desecration.

http://www.j-body.org/forums/read.ph...=54674&t=54674<----read and weep. Hopefully the damage is reversible.




On another note, this car is only $25k and only about 100 miles away from me.

The guy doing it is wearing purple!! Does that say anything to you?? Interesting idea, but it doesn't quite look right, and the rear lights look too......... 1970's supercar for me.

Except for the wing, the car was pretty good to begin with. The end product though was pretty well done. IMHO the hood line could have been lower and sleeker. Great job though.

That's nuts! I think it looks passable. Doesn't quite look right, but it's some pretty good work.

i don't think it's one bit "rice". that's just talent to do all that bodywork and paint. i wouldn't do it but i give him credit for makin' it.

Money & time sunk into body work means money and time that weren't invested in making the car go faster.

How much do you think all that crap weighed? The weight alone was probably a 40hp loss.

hehe.. I think that was posted on honda-tech before. I don't remember the story behind it...

The amount of bodywork on that car is unreal .. I'm sure labor costs for that must have been at least enough to buy a used car .. not to mention the price for materials and paint .. (!)

It's pretty neat to see what can be done with bodywork..
