Hey guys,
So Since the tender age of 11, I was sickly in love with the NSX ( Those damn saturday morning infommercials brain washed me - they took over my saturday morning cartoons, and soon enough my lust for the exotic and beautiful) So Off to school i went to get a bangin job and once i was all set, my number 1 goal was to get an NSX
September of 05 i picked up a '92 coupe, 5 spd red on black with 39,000 miles.
..and that Friday got myself a set of staggered 18/19 HP Evo's
...and ofcourse i slapped those on =)
About a month later I wanted to get the top of the car painted red to match the rest of the car, and this disaster happened... ughhh
I wanted the A and B pillers painted and instead I got this with a non matching red top ...grrr
You can read my Post here on that little mishap
Since then I have been planning and replanning and planning and replanning some more on everything i loved and wanted to change but I could not find a single shop I trusted enough to do the work...
Then I met Sami at Elite Motors in Bergen County, NJ
Sami is a unique Character. He's 24, soft spoken, rarely emotional, and very black and white. Sami works on everything, he rebuilds M3's, Modena's, Porsches. The Guy has been doing what he loves since birth apparently. Everything from Clutch swaps on Lambo's to full on m5 swaps. C6 overhauls, to superchargers, its dumbfounding, He's amassed more information and wisdom inbetween his ears, than crews combined.
This little guy blew me away. I looked over several of his jobs and his attention to detail is simply AMAZING. I knew I had the right guy.. and so the hunt for parts began..
Soon I had accumulated this by March of 2007..
and then I started..
First SOS carbon Fiber Type R hood
and began to rip my baby apart ..
This was the Chaos that was my "garage" at one point...
The list became SOS CF hood, Vinny's Side Skirts from florida, I actually DROVE down to florida to get them, Vinny's AWESOME, WW rear spats, and an OEM front bumper with a WW front lip, and Cantrel GT wide front Fenders, amongst the many more tid bit parts along the way...
I wanted the WW front lip molded on and the center Fin in the bumper cut out... needless to say not an easy project... So I slapped everything together to take the car up to Sami at Elite Motors...
and this is what it looked like before he go his hands on it..
Then I took her up to Sami's and we talked alot about the car and what i wanted. He wanted to know exactly what i wanted and he gave a lot of feedback..
we eventaully decided the GT fenders were not flowing with the car, and Sami also decided he wanted to rework the rocker panels to something more unique and better flowing...
and so Sami went to work..
Here's his version of the Marga Hills side's... I'm sure they'll soon be refered to as Sami's Rocker Panels...lol
Notice the reworking of the rear of the skirts for a much better flush fitting and then the awesome redo of the front..
and more of Sami's work in progress
I hated the huge 1980 amber corners, so I Had Sami fill in the hole and set up some s2k side markers. He filled in the void with aluminum, and welded it in... awesome work..
Look at the detail work, before painting he removed ALL the moldings, the side mirrors, key holes, everything, awesome awesome detail work...
..and then the Front bumper... molding it together and removing the center fin.....
..And then AFTER PAINT!!!!
CHECK OUT THESE Skirts!! What do you guys think!!!
Finally took her home after a few weeks of insanely hard work by Sami and finished off
some details to get her ready for NSX-Stock '07...
Freaking BEAUTIFUL!!! I can not tell you how in LOVE i am with the car. Every vision i had, was brought to life by Sami and His guys...
Then came NSX-Stock and I decided I really really wanted some fresh corn LOL
and then spun the car right into a corn field LOL...
and here I am holding the fish of the day...
LESSON TO BE LEARNED - DON'T EVER LIFT!!!!! lol
I called up Sami that same day and He actually came down to Bridgewater to meet up with the guys a clean up my mess haha. What am awesome guy. He took the car back home with him to take to the shop, and hopefully in a few weeks i'll get the car back as good as new..
If you guys are looking for amazing work, give Sami a call at Elite... 201.618.0909 or email him [email protected]
Let me know what you guys think!!!!!
