As with the original NSX-R, it is unlikely many of these changes will ever make it to the US, though the headlights will probably be here soon.

yea! headlights
that car looks awesome. i hope they do bring it to the states

Okay. . . its cool and all they put that carbon fiber hood. . . but god damn paint it already. Maybe its just me, but I just think cars on the roads look FUGLY with a carbon fiber hood. . . paint it damn you, damn you all. Hehe, had to make this into a rice basher post somehow. . .

[boba world]

haha Have seen the "colored" carbon fiber hoods?? they have this red/blue/etc glazed look coat on top of the material. Shockingly ugly!!
Have to agree- there are indeed some distasteful trends out there in the Japanese import scene(which is why I went Euro)- but considering my Honda roots- I still love the NSX, man!

[TommyBoomfiger]

Ugh, you guys are right, that carbon fiber hood is ugly. i didnt notice it since they only posted 2 pics with the hood. they shouldnt have a hard time matching the paint on the hood with the body if they paint it with the same paint and at the same time.

[spigidygak]

Heh, I really love them fake carbon fiber hoods. 'cause you know, its always to replace your factory hood for a crappier one for more speed right? RIGHT?

It may be fun to drive and well built, but it is SOOO Boring to look at

carbon fiber hoods have been played out by all the rice kids but... its decent to invest on if you got extra cash..theyre light...Don't forget that CF is way stronger than steel, plus CF has a soft-default mode. steel will bend, or break, CF will return to its individual threads under intense pressure, which makes CF a great material for things like driveshafts and such.

Also great for self-decapitations in case of head on collisions.

:heh: but dude c'mon now, don't we all need to save some poundage up front? It'll take of the few seconds on my commuting route. . . If only racing equipment was practical for daily driving.

the nsx-r badge on the spoiler is gay. what we need are more skylines.... nissan is way too unappreciated.

[flostar]

nissan....most definately...way ahead..

[spigidygak]

Yep, nissan definitely is looked over way too much. Especially that v6 engine of theirs. Now its 3.5 liters :drool: can't wait to test drive that new z car.

i don't like the way that looks, looks dispraportioned if you ask me, the roof is too high, it needs to be lower if you want it to look decent

[spigidygak]

I think the problem is since Japanese designers like do copy. . . they tried to copy too many ideas together. . . The car has potential for a better look though. Its mechanically almost sound. Mid engines rock, but . . . back to the designing borad honda :bonk:
