LOVE your car and conversion, but for the purpose of this thread- I don't think we should include any conversions. I sound like some imola biggot! lol!
I think that was a pic borrowed from instagram... other plates on the cars seem like IL as well.
i've seen this car personally with full intention to buy it about 2 months ago.
imo, at first glance for a 2004 it was in fair condition (tons of paint chips on front bumper, some major chips on door - from grocery shopping cart i was told) the driver seat was noticeble much more worn then expected for a car with only 35000km. immediately that did not make sense to me since ive seen some 997 porsches with 75000k on them with absolutely pristine and new interiors (driver seat included)
the story i bestly recall from the owner is that it has rebuilt title due to the driver side door and side skirt being damaged hence the car was imported over here in 2006 for 45k cdn. i was also told that the door and side skirt fix was 25k to fix. the shop that did the fix was in toronto. i didnt get as far as going over the documentation so i cannot comment further on what i was told re the history of the vehicle.
the first thing i did when inspecting the car was to obviously check out the fixed door and side skirt.
the color of the repaint was slightly off (you can only really tell in pictures, and can also tell in the trader pictures if paying close attention; but for a 25k fix on an exotic that makes no sense to me) but what irked me was that the side skirt install was poorly done, hence the skirt had shifted about an inch. i could immiedately see a 1 inch gap between the door and the side skirt.
therefore the side skirt would rub into the side skirt door cap when the door of the car was open.
of course this caused the door to not open properly and the door cap side skirt piece was partially ripping off the car. the owner claimed he knew that the door wasnt opening but couldn't figure out why the problem was, and also stated that everyone else who saw the car couldn't figure out what caused the problem. immediately this did not put me at ease since i was able to figure this out in 2 minute of paying close attention to this and i am by no means a mechanic
the interior needed a detailing; minor things such as holes in the speaker cover, a few noticable scratches here and there and i also recall that the driver sun targo roof clip was missing (you have to press your finger into the hole of the targa roof to unlatch the roof from the car).
my best guess it that these photos on the ad were taken about 5 years ago when the car was first fixed as the condition of the car upon a careful inspection is noticeably different then what is shown in the photos.
the car drove ok, but i cant really compare to other nsx's since the other ones i had looked into weren't close to being stock vehicles.
in fairness, i would say that for a 2004 it was in much rougher shape then i was expecting, especially for a car that has 35km. hence was open to the idea of much MUCH older nsx's that were meticulously taken care of; and found a few beauties here and there.
hope this helps!

Prev owner was the one that imported and had the car "fixed" for 25k

I have seen this kinda of hit before the main rail will def be bent, you can pull the shoot out of it ( the frame) and your never gonna pull it enough so the seat will not rub and as slow as a dog to move forward. that car needs a whole new cut for that side where you gonna find someone with an NSX chassis they would cut for you.
none. part it out to bad I hate saying that

Complete repaint? Sounded like there were touch ups.
based on ad, fullly repainted car... no idea why anyone would do that to an imola that has never been in an accident.
^ I am probably going to go see the car in person on Sunday.
sounds awesome ! the link on the ad wasnt working for me, i so here is the proper one for those who want to see more photos of the car

On the ad the "Paint Refresh" refers to a couple of scrapes to the left front bumper cover that were fixed. Call anytime. 312-318-1501

The car looks great. Appears to have been fixed by a high end shop. If the fix is well documented, the price is about right. Shawn better get it before the Imola Police get to it or Red-nsx decides he needs a high mileage one to daily drive. :victorious:
Oh lawd. I wantz.
