You've gone Asian crazy! I thought you left this great hobby? As mentioned, wheels size one down. What's up with the rear? Seems off :scratchhead:

I deleted the bumper and fitted a diffuser instead

It's a little over the top for me. Doesn't look right. Maybe its the angle...

I used a highly modified NSX from DSport magazine as inspiration. If I find the pic, I'll post it.

Here we go. It just looks so nasty and gnarly, I love it.

It's been a while since I took pics, and for the first time ever they're outdoor. Just to sum up the changes, I scratch built a front lip, side skirts and a rear diffuser. The first two were wrapped in carbon and cleared. Then I got an NSX-R wing from TK, painted black, with carbon on the main part. I also got two exhausts from him, drilled out the license plate area and channeled them through there. The wheels are polished metal Uli Nowak BBS LM, painted silver, with gold rivets as lug nuts. There is a bit of engine detail, nothing crazy. The interior received photo etch pedals, new seats and harnesses from TK, and a reworked gear knob. Enjoy!

Nice job Wes. I still say the rollers should be 19".

Thanks! You mean 18"? It's 18" in the front and 19" at the back

Naw it would look weird. Google wheel setups for the NSX and staggered seems to be the popular choice. It looks odd otherwise. I could have gone 17 front, 18 rear but would need a higher profile tire. Finding that in two different sizes is tough.
