All it needs are some proper fitting wheels and you are set. Yours must be the second 02 converted green cars that I have seen on this board.
 
looks good. Fronts wheels are already flush while rears could use a 25mm spacer to make them flushed as well.
 
I personally don't like the Comptech kits at all. I think it completely ruins the look of the car. However, it's your car and your choice. :)

With that said, correct the wheel sizing/spacing to align correctly with the panel and you'll have a HUGE improvement.

On the contrary I think the CT kit is the only one that really respects the oem lines of the nsx. The Veilside ruins the look of the car, while kits like the Sorcery gives it a SuperGT flavour but pretty well looks like a streetcar trying to be a racecar.
 
Ok here we go, this is more for Gil than for myself, and i would like
to say thank you as he was very helpful to getting the wheels to look
flush. Just a few pictures of Gils old wheels on my setup. Aslo doing a
tan to black interior change, still inthe process, NSX R carpet with black
suede, seats and headliner still at shop, everything else was a DIY

When taking photo's try not to use your house as a background.

Be creative. Use airplane hangers, industrial lots, race tracks, piers, yachts(kind of cheesy but works) lakes or bays and of course when all else fails
bikini clad women squirting each other with soap and water!
 
While I understand the effort in a DIY project like this one (interior), I would really strive for near perfection. The rear panels appear to have air pockets and are wrinkled. I'm not sure if this was the desired look or maybe a rush job but either way they detract from the beauty of your idea. Maybe a little more time getting those pieces re-wrapped is in order to make the interior seamless.

I also think the front needs to be lowered a little more (but I'm thinking it'll rub like crazy at the bottom bumper!).

Keep up the hard work you'll be happy when it's finished.
 
thanks Gil :) as you can see theres no seats in it so would be hard to drive it to airhanger or ect... to take pictures lol as far the the suede the center back wall panel is the only piece that has any wrinkles.
I know the door handles and other pieces will be shipped back to me this coming week Gil, but not sure about the seats or headliner. Ill keep you posted.
As always thx for comments, i really love this forum Good People
 
tough crowd:tongue: It looks great, I always liked the look of the CT kit, I have not decided if I will go with that kit or not in the future. It looks like it fits pretty well. Is it the replica or original kit?
 
lol thanks, everyone is entitled to there opinion, but does seem like
alot of people dont like the CT kit. It is an original kit. Was put on the
car in 1999. Ive had the car over 12 years now.
 
I like the CT Wide body...except for what they did to the spoiler. Takes away from using a stock or type R spoiler. Other than that looks amazing. Just need some sweet rims and your set.

:eek: You take that back lol. I like this kit the most cause it doesnt change the look of the car to much. This brookland green NSX is on the way of being my favorite green NSX out there. Keep up the good work.

LOL this is my favorite part of the kit. Im surprised how many people dont really like the kit.
 
I like the CT widebody and I wish they still make them. Its well designed so it looks like it was meant to be not like many Japanese kits looks like after thought add-on parts. Having said that, I like the FXMD WB.

This IS a tough crowd:biggrin:
 
its funny you guys are talking about the front clip, its not
a CT front clip on my car anymore, to tell you the truth i can remember
what clip it is, i believe its a Margo Hills or something whatever lol.
Had to chage it when i did the 02 conversion ill take better pics of it.
I do have the CT front clip still and would sell it if anyone wants it

We cut up and reglassed the rear quarters on mine to use the stock wing. To each their own, I just personally am not a fan of the way that wing flares.

+1. Same reason i hate it. The rest of the kit is awsome. If you could get a option without the flare it would be my favorite.
