New 1996 NSX Build

Hope you get it out of there before that tropical storm hits.
 
Ok I was getting ready for bed and I get a call from the carrier service to pick this car up for the ride home to its owner at 10PM eastern time.

so I drive down to the shop and start working on the 2004 when they call and say it gonna be like 1:45-2:00 Im like well OK I will just keep working on the 2004.
then 3PM rolls around and they show up

it has a little buddy to ride home with a Ford GT white with the blue stripe it was pretty cool to see a Ford GT

they take the car from me and OFF she goes. home bound I hope the owner likes it.

so its been a fun ride and another NSX under my belt. lets get going on the next.

thanks for the loyalty guys for watching my builds, they are as fun to build as they are to watch.

enjoy.

I'm sure the owner wouldn't mind if they just happend to drop off that Ford GT instead.... :smile: or better yet both into his driveway :biggrin:

Good job Shawn....
 
it seems the carrier service dropped the car off at some other neighbor hood with the same address LOL ummm how does that happen?

but the owner said he loves it the upgrades were def needed.
the paint looks so fresh and clean.

So it felt good to hear the compliments from the owner. that really means alot to the builder ya know
 
Shawn, that 4th brake light mod looks fantastic! I wonder how it would look on the pre-02 rear end, and I'm still curious about your other brake light idea (the one in the glass hatch).

Glad to hear the owner is happy with the car! :)
 
I dont know what it would look like on a pre 02+ so you need to try it out.
everytime I am at a junkyard I find a few different sizes and take them home I found that a 1993 Honda Accord spoiler brake light is the longest
and looks the best with the 02+ rear lower.
I have tried many different ones but the accord one looks the best.

now what did I use on this build was a smaller one but I dont remember what car it came from i want to say a lexus but I forget.

the only 93 accord light I had is my only one and Im not giving that up till i find another one. I mean you can buy a new replacement spoiler lamp for like 40 bucks on e-bay. the accord light is very bright. I will have one on mine for NSXPO

as for the rear glass mod I may finish that for NSXPO but I am thinking that may be to many red lights and may look stupid.
will report back.
 
i think the light modification on the lower valence/diffuser area would be great for those nsx owners whom aftermarket spoilers dont have an LED.

and i agree that 3 brake lights is enough, 4,5,6 just gets too fast and furious looking.
