Ugh, where to begin? It needs to be rescued.
Also, and this bothers me more than it probably should, those NACA-styled vents just ahead of the wing demonstrate that whoever did that doesn't understand why a NACA duct is shaped the way it is.
The whole car reminds me of what Dr. Ian Malcolm said in Jurassic Park. "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they never stopped to think if they should." There are a lot of things done here just for the sake of doing them, without regard to what the finished product would actually become.
o preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should

The side vents are awesome and should have been that way from the factory. Everything else? Eye of the beholder I guess. At least they didn't hellaflush it.

I helped build that car I think it turned out great, some people dont like the lines but I think Bruce ( owner ) turned the car into a show car with attention to detail
is top notch.
is top notch.
If I were to criticize the lines, I would say trying to retain stock taillights/headlights was the mistake.
This kit looks like it almost needed custom headlights/taillights specifically for this car, just like BSM or VeilSide kit.
Especially the rear...this car is too wide for stock taillights, but it's kinda trying to flow with the stock line. I would rather have Comptech widebody if I were to look for something to keep the stock line, but wider.
I'm pretty sure that is a Comptech widebody, modified.
Lotta quality work no doubt. Beautiful paint and finish. Just having a difficult time getting over the rear wing / spoiler. Just doesn't look "right".
I'll take the black one next to it hands down.
I love the color! The front lip looks great but doesn't help the front bumper since it's looks so long/big? Needs a rear valence or something. The side is a win IMO.
The color is great. Body work is great, but not my style. Good job though!
Yeah, got to appreciate the work and craftsmanship. However, just not my cup of tea.
This. Either the wheels are too large or it needs to be dropped a bit. It looks a little tall.
anyone else think the wheels are too large.

+1, That is what makes it look so odd from the side. Does not fit with the car and ruins the proportions.
I also like the side vents. Not perfect, but close and I give him a lot of credit for trying instead of just slapping on a pair of side skirts with a vent to nowhere.
And +1000 for not "hellaflushing" it.

One of the ugliest Nsx's I've ever seen. Def. top 3.
I think it's for keeping groceries/small pets cool in the trunk.
