Docjohn.. it's actually not really like the Rocket Bunny Kit except for the flair. It's also only 80% done. I started this only 2 months ago - and given the SEMA deadline, we did what we could. Still have the following left from a bodykit perspective:
1) Widened rear diffuser that extends further beyond the rear
2) Biplane rear wing (Shad feels this actually helps)
3) Side splitter
4) Reworked lower front bumper with larger chin and splitter
5) Narrower front fender flares... they're too big right now by about 1/2 inch
It's actually more close in philosophy to DTM style and, particularly, Black Series bodywork on the AMG cars like the SL65 Black Series and the C63 Black Series I once owned. It all started from my hope to run wider tires. Then it got a little out of hand. But I think its always good to try to do something different and and push the limits of what the chassis can handle.
As an aside, Rocket Bunny's founder/designer Kei Miura and Kato from Liberty Walk saw my car and complimented me... they thought it was some company designed kit. They were surprised I did... and that I did it between operative cases.

I see (and like) the DTM look!
+1. Some of these kits are awesome. Sometimes you get a better look by mixing up components from different kits.
I like what your doing and agree with your justification. I love "different". (most of the time, lol.)I think a more agrressive front would compliment your build. Maybe a mod4bumper. Also start a build thread as soon as possible. That's an awesome amount of work in so little time.
I actually like the stock front upper/lower bumper setup. One rarely see's that on such an aggressive WB. Keeps the NSX look. Needs quad tips though. Beautiful unique car.

Thanks - a more aggressive front is on the way. I do have a build thread - it's under neoprufrok's build. More pics will be added... although a few mags want to keep the build a little more under wraps as they plan on featuring it.

Thanks man! Still some more work to be done. It was a little hard for me to sign off on it going to SEMA. If it was 100% complete, I think it would have been even better.

Right now, 3.5" wider on each side in the rear. The front is 2.5" - but I'm going to bring it back to about 2". 2.5" is too wide and even with the 18x9.5" front and 265 wide Toyo R888, they still have room to be brought in.
Rear wing was temporary - its Voltex. Plan is to go with my own custom rear wing attached to the frame as I've been hearing that these wings can actually cause problems at high speeds on track and on highway with the trunk.
It appears to be angled wrong for down force but potential lift. But I'm no expert....

Just before the snow came...
My NSX at SEMA 2014. This project has been a long 8 year project of collecting parts and networking with old friends and making new ones. I'm truly thankful to everyone that has supported my passion for this project. I believe this is the only car ever been built in North America proudly outfitted with such parts. Enjoy everyone.

Wow! I've never seen that Mugen wing or sideskirts, except in magazine photos. I am certain that you are correct about this being the only NA car ever outfitted with all of these Mugen goodies.
Amazing work Chad!
