looks like this forum is split approx 50/50 on this one!

but to the haters, i have to question,

why put a typeR motor in a non typeR chassis? isnt that sacrilage to the motors origin?

why bodykit a car?

why change tail/headlights?

why do people modify thier cars all together? enjoyment, enhance performance, stand out from the crowd etc.

this nsx looks impecably modified, and i would challange ANY of the haters to build a better car themselves(not pay a shop to do it)

changing sheetmetal/fibreglass/chassis on cars has been happining since the invention of cars, so it was inevitable that eventually it would happen to late model jap cars.

ANYWAY, does anyone know wether this particular nsx was an accident car, brought back from near death to live again?
might be the reason the owner took this particular modification path.....

The haters aren't questioning the choice to modify the car, nor the standard to which it's been built. We just don't like the way in which it's been done. If the owner of that NSX couldn't afford a Ferrari he should deal with it and be happy that he has (or had) a perfectly good NSX.

The way he's gone I think it would've been easier, cheaper and a bit less sad to get "I CAN'T AFFORD A FERRARI" tattoed on his forehead instead or a huge windscreen banner on the car saying "I WISH THIS WAS A FERRARI".

As I said before, it's just tragic.

And hey, even if it was accident damaged why not chuck a badass Sorcery kit or something similar on it, like this one..? Much better and classier IMO.
