Since Spoon's marketing it here in the States, I thought you guys would be interested in seeing more on the LHD NSX-R. For those of you that weren't aware of the fact, Spoon's building the U.S. market NSX-R models since we never got the chance to purchase them here. Here's a first look at it:

this has been discussed on here before. the general consensus is "what a rip off"

i like how the roof air duct pumps air into the engine bay just so the factory airbox can be used which gets air from the side duct. lol.

I think this surfaced here a while back - the cost is something like $70k, plus the NSX donor car. So, $100k for a gussied up NSX, when you cold buy a lot of new cars that will blow it out of the water for that money or less.

not to mention spend a fraction of that money on some decent performance mods for the nsx and have a badass nsx rather than a jdm bling mobile.

<<<<waits for people to "correct" him on the effectiveness of spoon's awesome aero parts. yeah right.

For all that claim of weight savings, you can just buy a Cayman S and have more trunk space, a lighter weight car and similar HP numbers.

With all that extra money you can supercharge the cayman.

Considering people buy an OEM Honda NSX-R dry carbon hood for 9.5k, I wouldn't doubt people would buy that.
