All he needed to do was take off that original (and nasty) bodykit.

Each to their own, but IMO he's ruined one of Japan's finest cars

It just all looks wrong.

People would look and admire an NSX. Now they will just laugh at him.

To be honest, I think that's the best looking "snide" kit I've ever seen.....

Some of them are godawful, but this one...I don't know.

Still they're all far from the real thing.

edited to say: just realised that the donor car was an NSX, at first glance I thought it was an MR2.....memo to self: read and analyse all threads before posting.

In this case, the guy should have left the car well alone and I agree, he/she should have taken off that apology for a rear spoiler.

The guys are obviously talented, but what a waste of time!!

There was one stage where they had taken the kit off the nsx and before they started ripping it apart - that's when it looked the best.

IMO if you are going to go to the trouble of making a replica, do that....make it a replica, not something that looks half ar$ed.

Not sure what Ferrari would thin about the use of the badge:


and I'm not sure I see the point, but on the whole I don't dislike this thing!!

That's pretty impressive stuff. They've done a good job, and while some of the details aren't quite right, overall it's pretty convincing. If you're going to do this, at least use a £300K car as your template.

[Davey S1]

It looks a lot better from the rear than the front. If you saw it from behind you would need to look closer to see it wasnt a F50. From the front, apart from the huge bonnet scoops it just looks like an MR2

[Nightmare]

my view is the same as it always is - each to their own - personally I think it looks pretty damn good...and those guys are bloody good at what they do arent they? Wonder how long it actually took?

[trackdemon]

Whole - leigh - sheet. Thats not nice, not nice at all. Talent / Style ratio all wrong with those guys I'm afraid. And I'll bet jacking wheels out 4" has done for the handling. Probably cheaper than original Honda replacement panels though, they cost a fortune.

[rob.e]

Looks awful.. what a waste of a nice NSX

[alanc5]

I think he's lost the plot, now people will look and wonder why he's trying to make an "MR2" look like an F50, when they cant even get the 355 look right.

NSX backends have always looked at bit 80's...that one actually looks decent, but the front and sides are simply awful.

This might eventually have the F50 owners up in arms thought when they get stopped and asked if its an NSX with a bodykit. rofl.

[toppstuff]

Horrible, Horrible, Horrible.

Burn it. Burn it now.

You don't have to like it to appreciate the amount of work that went into it. Why like others have said, you have to ruin an NSX however is something I am having troube with...
