I acquired this '91 Sebring back in March and have slowly been restoring & modifying it. The exterior was completely stock, complete w/ the ugly ass 15/16's. The front & rear bumper covers were damaged, but the rest of the body panels were pristine. This was meant to be my project/ beater exotic as I got rid of my former NSX, which was heavily modded to buy a Porsche 996 C2 w/ factory aero kit. I got a good deal on this one & just couldn't pass it up. Unfortunately w/ the Porsche as its stable mate, I've been working on a shoestring budget as I am trying to get this NSX back to par using used & existing parts. I'm about done and just wanted to post a pic of the "new" exterior makeover. All it needs is tint. I repaired the bumper covers, installed a full Wings West kit, TSW Thruxtons 18/19's (getting rid of soon), 225 & 275 Nitto Extreme 555's, S2000 antenna, painted calipers. The NSX came w/ a few goodies: JDM short gears, DC headers, Dali dual canister exhaust, Tien RA's, sway bars, slotted rotors, stainless brake lines.
In the engine compartment, I decided to go mild and just did the Dali fuse cover, coolant tank, oil cap, Okuyama strut bar all in a matte finish. The engine manifold cover was painted a Chevy red/ orange that ended up looking like the General Lee and I topped it off w/ a SOS engine plate in CF.
I will soon cut the engine cover & insert a lexan window in the center section.
The interior also received treatment. I went w/ the SOS CF gauge cluster bezel and removed & painted the gauge rings in a matte aluminum finish. The center console was refabricated to accomodate a matching SOS CF single din trim plate to fit my Alpine head unit. I added a billet SOS rapid shift knob, type r boot, Autovation billet race pedals & new floor mats to complete the revamp. Lastly, the UPS man just dropped off a JL sub w/ a custom fiberglass enclosure & Alpine V12 amp that will finish off the system. I think that will about wrap up this project NSX- for now!
Parting shot!
