Project NSX-R "cosmetic" conversion and non NSX-R related parts

[nsxsupra]

Re: NA1.5 NSX-R project

Just a quick question, why did you go with the OEM front bumper instead of a less costly FRP replica? Durability concerns?

Thank you,

I went with OEM front bumper due to cost/quality ratio. When a replica item is not at least 50% cheaper, I wouldn't consider it.

The oem front bumper is really not that much more expensive than replica (20~30% more). No question about fitment and quality, no sanding, additional prep work required, saved some cost in labor. The replica bumpers also doesn't have the center divider and lower mesh guard.

I have Procar hood, and Downforce wing as only replica item on my NSX. Both are great, quality is amazing, but no matter how great they are, they are not perfect, but the cost/quality ratio was worth it in this case.

You really can't go wrong with either oem or Downforce.

I highly recommend Downforce conversion parts, they are very very well made, great customer support, their products are definitely worth every penny. It reallly all comes down to what you prefer. For example their door pieces cost only $150. OEM is $600, I went with oem just to complete all oem parts, but there is really no reason to spend additional for minor item like this.

Re: NA1.5 NSX-R project

Yes do tell Jason,

How did you get your under carriage so clean? Whats the secret?

Thats with a detail digital camera, so you would assume some gunk and scuff underneath the car. But its just the exact contrary.

Of course I cant emphasize this enough, but your Nsx looks simply amazingly clean~!

Jason, would you mind if you could post the price for the parts you have listed. It could help some of us to prepare our budget when we want to do the same conversion. Thanks.

 

[kreh]

Outstanding result Jason. How is the SC performing?

That is really one very sweet looking NSX. I would almost be afraid to drive it in fear of damaging that beautiful paint job.
If you have more pictures, please post them. The car is just lovely to look at.

Picked up this item from MJ today, it was well worth the drive with Vance and Erick, the trip actually was quite fun:biggrin:

Just curious, can you use the Apexi setup with the Cantrell ACIS? Also, does it use your stock airbox? Id like the set up but with the Comptech CF top lid, anyone have this?
