Ary, any pics of this car's exterior? Hope your hols is great!

SS, interior has hints of TVRish or something British hand built kit car-ish if you know what I mean.

James i know what u mean, Designed by a car owner and not a designer but fair play for having a do tho. I prefer the original tho,

Very tastefully done, nearly as good as the original, but would you buy someone elses "creation".

Dificult job to get right imo. NSX is a nineties car and if you modernise the odd bit here and there it just looks wrong. This guy has done a great job integrating he modern look throughout. would I buy it? No! But something tells me he's not selling :)

Heres your beer Ary!! :beer:

The fact it was built by SOS says it all! For a guy who paid to convert his 1991 to that sort of level and quality finish, either has more money than sense or a bit doolaly! Having said that its not to my taste and others here, there are some nice bits, but overall you have say the craftsmanship is very high. Whether he sells or not, he will only get a fraction back of what he spent on the upgrades/conversions in a more limited market, thats already limited by the rarity of the NSX (is that ok Ary!).

Interesting, and i admire the effort and workmanship there... but... i still don't like it!

I think my lounge has a smaller TV.

I've seen the doors on that one.

I'm obviously hard to please here, but again, i don't like it. Personally i think carbon should be used for it's lightweight purpose, not extensively used for dress up items.

I just think it's a bit crass to have loads of carbon mixed with heavy leather seats, a radio, air con etc.

You would have thought he'd finish off around the steering boss, being one of the more simple tasks in that conversion....

....well someone has to pick holes in that futuristic silver interior.....
quite like it though.

urgh! :shocked:

I like parts of it; the top section of the door in CF looks pretty good and I've got no issue with the centre consul. The rest is perhaps CF overkill.


Cheers,


James.

Where are you Paul CF King!? We need your opinion on this rather OTT CF Targa interior! Like Papa says some of its OK, but CF to me means less is more and not the other way round!
