NSXPO photo of Ron's Grigio Alloy wide body conversion

[ScienceofSpeed]

Here is a photo of the car written about in the last NSXDriver's article "0-60 Modifications in Under 3 Months". Ron's NSX has really transformed over the past several months from bone stock. Among other modifications in a long list, the car has Cantrell Studios Wide Body Conversion rear quarters, rockers, and a custom front end. The car also now has a blueprinted short gear 5-speed with 4.55 final drive, Comptech supercharger, TEIN suspension, and custom wide body Volk GT-C wheels. The Grigio Alloy color choosen is from the 2003 Ferrari Modena and has an awesome appearance. Check it out!

cheers,
-- Chris

That is a great looking car! Its almost as if I have almost the exact same setup on mine, oh wait, I DO!
That front bumper looks exactly like the Marga Hills bumper and headlights. What is custom? So much for me being original, back to the drawing board.

Chris, impressive job on all three cars, I am extreemly jealous. Since I havent bought my new wheels yet, can you tell me what are his wheels sizes and offsets? thanks--Brett

 

[ScienceofSpeed]

Hi Brett -- Thanks much. The front end consists of the Marga Hills front bumper (heavily modified to fit properly), Cantrell Studios fenders, and TAITEC NSX-R hood. The car also has our new prototype MH replica headlights. I'll have to dig up the offsets... however, the wheel sizes are 18x8.5 and 19x10.5.

Cheers,
-- Chris

Great looking car. Do you have a before and after shot you could post just for comparisons sake?

 

[FuryNSX]

Must've been the color!!

I don't what it was about that car. All week, my eyes kept gravitating toward it. Everything looks so good on it. And that color......WOW!!! You have to see it in person!!! Nice job!!!

BTW, bummer to hear that the front end is a MH piece. I really like it and wanted to get it for my car, but I keep hearing how difficult it is to work with MH pieces.

I appreciate all of the nice comments about my new baby!

Incredible thanks to Chris Willson @ SOS for bringing my dream car to fruition! Thanks also to Seth @ SOS, Mark and Jane Basch, and Will Cantrell.

(I tried to post a picture of my stock car but the file size was too large. I will ask Chris to host the picture to allow posting on this thread.)

 

[ScienceofSpeed]

to say it was "stock" is an understatement!

Your car looks great. It looks like you could have bought another 91 NSX for as much as the upgrades would have cost..

 

[4AU4LIFE]

No way

You have got to be kidding me. That can't be the same car !!!

 

[ScienceofSpeed]

All done in less than 3 months! Check out the last and next NSXDriver for a write up.

You are absolutely right...but then I would just have two fully stock NSXs.

Or, I could have traded in the car and used that and the upgrade money to buy a pre-owned F355...but then I would just have a Ferrari!

I asked Chris to produce a unique, streetable, performance-oriented car and he sure accomplished that goal! As you can tell, I am very happy with the re-birth of my car.

As a friend said when I showed hime a photo of my old silver before I bought it and after all the mods... "it seemed a bicycle before..." .

Very good job and WONDERFUL color!
The color I would buy a 360 myself...

I read the article from the NSXDRIVER, and I cannot believe that it is the same car. Amazing!!! The owner of the car must be so happy!!!! Congrats!!

Ron, the car so looks nice! It makes me think I may need to step up and flare the fenders!

You are a man after my own heart I have a 2001 Silver/red M3 too (so does SJ228) to go along with the NSX.... it must be a trend or something

The headlight assembly is a prototype based on Marga Hills. I'm sure Chris Willson will provide updates on the final production version in the near future.

I personally love the look although others prefer the 2002 headlights.

 

[ScienceofSpeed]

The kit on Ron's car is our first prototype. We have to work out a lot of fitment issues that are drawbacks of the original Marga Hills design. Hope to have more details to you shortly.

Man.. that's nice.

How would that look in black? .. (any photoshoppers up to it?)

 

[nsx_ow]

GREAT car -- amazing color

GREAT looking car. Am sorry I did not get to see it in person.
That OE Ferrari silver is a VERY SHARP color... outstanding choice.

Great job by Chris/SoS and all involved.

Those are the best looking side skirts, as they don't have that ridiculous out of place flare in the front like every other aftermarket Side Skirt except for the WW.

How come I don't see Cantrell Studios side skirts on SoS? They look like MH side skirts without the flare...

side skirt flare

Those are the best looking side skirts, as they don't have that ridiculous out of place flare in the front like every other aftermarket Side Skirt except for the WW.

A lot of the earlier aftermarket side skirts (Marga Hills and replicas) were designed for use with (aftermarket) wide front fenders, hence that "flare in the front". It does look out of place if using stock front fenders.

The Wings West side skirts, while more conservative than these, has IMO a cleaner, almost-factory line to it.

 

[cojones]

any other pix of this car ?

Hope to have more details to you shortly.

Any more pix of this car ?? How about a rear quarter shot showing the fenders and that custom rear end ??
