sorry if its a repost

[Alan®]

I personally would have left it alone but not too bad

[Ran]

I bet that car weighs about as much as an M1 Abrams Tank now.

Interesting concept, but fails for purpose and sensibility.

[Boosted FC]

They need to put some extra hp in there now.

[81911SC]

Nothing like being a stupid faggo t.

[Get-R-Done!]

i dont like it

[DieselNuts]

with all the money he poured into that, he probably could have bought an F50...not really, but still, you get my point...

[EJ25RUN]

I just dont see why people dont get that if it wasnt born in

1. Marenello
2. Sant'Agata Bolognese
3. Stuttgart

It should never be turned into a car that was.

It doesnt help that i was at the Ferrari factory last May and i can honestly saw the work to make the Pininfarina bodies looks 800x more professional than that.

wut a dumbass ... would have left that nsx alone .... wow wut a waste !!!!!!

[Sol-Badguy]

That poor, poor NSX.

[Mr.Big]

The car looks off.

[Slow Motion]

If he wanted a body kit he should have bought an NSX body kit which would have been 90 million times better looking and less expensive. Especially if he would have put as much time into making sure the kit fit right as he did turning it into a fersh!tstain..

[cactusEG]

I personally would have left it alone but not too bad

same thing i was thinking. I want to see what it looks like after a wreck lol

[josh green]

You can hate on the car and say its a waste but the craftsmanship in that thing is amazing.

+1 for purple van in the background, and it being like 5 years old.

[pali_meister]

umm i guess its aight... it used to be a nice NSX

[man]

http://newmedia.funnyjunk.com/pictures/so-not-funny.jpg
Sadly your post is irrelevant, as I already got some laughs.

[4uh8ers]

I wouldnt have turned it into a f 50, rather just have them to do a sick widebody on it, and have it still look like a nsx, just a ridiculous jgtc car.

[allmotoronly]

before It looked like a nice, good looking japanese sports car. Now it looks no different than any fiero kit car. Someone needs to tell those people that people have been doing this over here in the US for like 20 years.

[On_Her_Face]

holy hell they did a good job

3.someone was being stupid as fu.ck
4.that someone should die
5.i hate it
6.why the fu.ck would you do that to an NSX??

[admedlin]

looks like good work. i would have kept the nsx body though

[boosted b]

i would have left it as a nsx looked better that way

[EJ25RUN]

ok ,1 irrelevant for me

and 4,733 for you.

Haha, if you only knew.

It's ok though, I understand the stage you're going through.

[VQ35 Star]

hate what they did to a perfectly good NSX, but then again that is some badass work.

[_Christian_]

all he did was make a good car look/perform worse. i hope he gets in an accident.

[WHT_EP3]

its probably a shop project to show of their good work to bring in customers. If you needed body work done and they showed you this car and the process of it wouldnt you trust them. cause thats amazing body work, i personally would i mean the car is cheesy but it looks really good
i mean better than that white one they posted on here ^^^

the body work is great. it will never be exact, but they did an a+ job. i still hate it.

[gijeff1805]

thats a lot of work...id rather have the ferrari

[ATK_Designs]

It's a retard conversion but I think we all missed the main point, craftsmanship. It's off the chart. Props for the awesome conversion.

I doubt it weights as much because the wood & foam at the beginning was only used as a mold for fiberglass. They didn't show everything, but that's most likely what it is. It may even be lighter than the original body because of the fiberglass replacement of all the OEM parts.

IMO, it's great craftsmanship, something they'd do as a demo for the shop or entering shows such as sema or similar (since it's in Asia).

Last but not least, this has been around for a LONGGGGGG ASSSS time. I believe it's even before the Ricer Altezza Trend back in the days. So for its age and time, prolly the hottest thing ever.

[04Prerunner]

honestly..i kinda like it..its better than when ppl try to do the ferrari conversions with mr2s and fieros and sh!t like that..props to them for making it look quite accurate

[OZ135]

That is pretty nice

[Elbow]

Looks SOOOOOOOOOO fake and ****ty

[Elbow]

Are you serious?!??!?!

http://www.hypersr.com/chris_355.jpg

Does not look that fake to me, better then the F50..

I should send them my Geo Metro Convertible

it pay perform worse...But how does it look worst? That new f50 look is ****ing sweet.

[DieselNuts]

because it doesnt look exactly like an F50. The body will never be as smooth as a real F50. Especially with black, you will be able to see all sorts of waves in the body work.

[Got Milk?]

so what...but it looks sweet. But i would keep the NSX the way it was.

[Elbow]

Yeah it doesnt even KIND of look like a real one

[azn_nvazn]

That's badass, I don't care what anyne say!!!!

[DieselNuts]

so what...but it looks sweet. But i would keep the NSX the way it was.
So what? The fact that he dropped mad cash to have a wavy ass fiberglass body, thats what. I take it you have never delt with fiberglass before.

I have delt with fiber glass. And its pain in the ass.

Plus, this was dont like what 5 years ago? I bet they look back at this and shake their heads to. And i bet he got so much cash, that it didnt make no difference in his bank account.

[93delsol15]

ferraris are amazing but this is like a ferrari rice car this is a classic case of too much money and not enough common sense to do anything with it this guy took his car from honda dream to euro knock off. hate it

i personally think that it was a waste of a good car,m but it turned out nice in the end.

about 2 weeks...

[EJ25RUN]

Here is are some obvious reasons why it's wrong......
Where's the mesh rear?
Where's the aero bump behind engine glass cover?
Compare how the rear bumper and boot? meet on real and fake car.

what a waste of an nsx..

you can say that again. :(
why do people do this kinda bs?

[Ronsam2006]

Man I personally think that is a really good looking kit car. Most people don't see a real F-50 everyday to be saying that this one is fake by pointing out little details.

[EJ25RUN]

That's basically lying...

its no different than someone riding around in a integra with type r badging when nothing on the car is.

[Ronsam2006]

That's basically lying...

its no different than someone riding around in a integra with type r badging when nothing on the car is.

NO. I really think it looks good. But you are talking about an integra with a type R badge...more than half the people on the street know what an integra is. Sure its lying...but some people might not be able to tell if its a regular or type R. BUT WITH AN F-50, its a whole different story. I can say that around 50 percent of people on the street wont know what a ferrari F-50 looks like, let alone come across one. So is it safe to say that most people dont know an F-50's specifics?

Now getting a glance at this car on the street, people are not going to be like, "WTF, thats not a F-50, its an NSX kitted" or "that cant be an F50, cause it doesnt have the tail light, etc"

From the pictures, I think that is a gorgeous looking kit car, replica..call it whatever you want. But it certainly is better than an MR2 with the kit of a Ferrari, because this car actually has the length and stance of a Ferrari.

[Ronsam2006]

By the way, didn't Veilside do something like this with an NSX...it looks like a Saleen S7 and a Ferrari mixed together.

[EJ25RUN]

You just dont get it.

A Ferrari is a sacred car that has no equal. There is no reason any other car (no matter what it is) should even try to look like one.

If you've ever seen a Ferrari made you'll know why.

That's the problem with most people on this site. They say they are car people but they really not. You don't disrespect something like an F50.

I could care less who knows and doesn't....the fact of the matter is that it was never a Ferrari and it will never be. Cars aren't about how many people you can fool. In reality 90% of average people don't know what an F50 is.


I'm starting to understand how you think and even though i don't usually argue with others opinions..... you are wrong.

[wantboost]

craftsmanship looks unreal. Concept..... ehhhh, not my style.

[FlyingStroke240]

mad skills.

[JDMjoe]

Ghey.... what a waste of a pecfectly good car!

[atl]

At 1st i was like WTF then when the parts got painted and put on it looked pretty sick it nice

[BTLFED]

why do people do this kinda bs?

You should ask yourself that, retard. :rolleyes:

Yes, this is old as hell. Yes, the body work is fantastic. Hell no I don't like it. I didn't when I saw it years ago, and I still don't. No one on here can argue about the craftsmanship put into it though.

The vans in the background > Fake F50

[SiRed94]

if you want a ferrari... then buy a ****ing ferrari...they did a pretty good job on the body work... but it was a waste of time IMO the nsx looks way better and now it just has an extra 1000 lbs added to it...

[Infamous_1]

that was the dumbest thing someone did to an nsx..what a shame!

[blaknoize]

no i would send it back to honda for them to crucify and burn.U wouldnt get a refund though.

I really know what you are talking about. Sure it is fake, but it is a great look a like. Trust me, my favorite exotic car company is Ferrari. I have driven many(my job), but I get exactly where you are coming from, you are the type of guy who doesnt want to see a legend duplicated. I get it, but it is hell of a replica. If thats the case, then you yourself shouldnt be allowed to keep even scaled down models of it...since you only like the real Ferrari. But I hope you dont go to that extent. I have the same amount of passion as you do for a Ferrari, but I wouldnt belittle a great try and some really good body work.

And just for the record, I can bet that most people on here wouldn't recognize that it was fake if they just posted up the final picture and said "Check out those rims on that F-50" or something like that.

About the model car part ~ Model cars are true replicas licensed from the factory in order to exist. I highly doubt Ferrari licensed that car to exist.

You cant drive a 1:18 scale model car. Nor did that model car start life as something else only to be turned into something its not.

Here's another example.....its a model, its not a real Ferrari....but i respect it.

Watch here! (http://youtube.com/watch?v=SeUMDY01uUA)

The difference is why ruin a perfectly good NSX to make that.

I dont like Kit cars either but... it kinda looks like whatever your trying to make out of it, and no NSX has to die for it to exist.

That car is like taking a Vincent van Gogh masterpiece and then having some amatur artist paint the Mona Lisa on it.

[.:Stirfry:.]

only in japan

[auxiliary]

I didn't read everyone's post....

but did anyone notice they used a LHD nsx?

Ok I get your point. But I think it is a great piece of work, at least to show the shops work.

[Thighs]

that is the stupidest thing ive ever seen. they couldve just used a fiero. wtf. its not even an accurate replica.

[jdmjeff]

they should have gotten an F50 and changed it to an NSX... thats what i would like to see.

[ftp]

the craftmanship is awesome!! I probably would have picked a different platform to build a kit car out of though

[Paul_s]

suda left it :-(
