Thats pretty much what I did with mine. Bilstein shocks on lowest perch with stock springs (perfect ride height) plus some nice wheels. I didn't even Tint it.....looks nice to see the engine cover and the small slit of a rear glass divider.

Regarding the badging thing, what I did with mine was: The rear center tailight used to say ACURA (on the inside of the glass) What was done was the ACURA was taken out, and just replaced with NSX. I'm actually thinking of Debadging the front emblem and leaving a clean bumper....the emblem kind of reminds me of a button nose or something.....

I've seen them without emblems and they look really, really clean. BUt I'd def. prefer a Honda emblem over an Acura. And it won't be rice considering they are almost identical to Japan's NSX. (apart from left hand stearing and other acura labels...radio door, steering wheel etc..)

Definitely!
dream on:
I'd even go for a white one and put red trim on it if I had a blue GT40, a green Lotus and a red Ferrari.
dream off

A NSX can be had for around 20k now? Early 90s models correct?

Not to change the topic, but dude... I couldn't imagine the expense / mechanical repairs on an NSX... More like 40's

Nope. I think rebadging cars is kinda ghey. Although this is a mild case. There is abolutely no need to do that, so why do it. It does nothing for the look of the car....nothing for people who dont know about the car, and nothing for people who DO know about the car.

The labor / and the parts / used / depreciation... I'd go new.

This is somewhat relevant considering were talking about NSX's. This guy I met picked up a mint 1991 for 41k, but it only had 3500 miles, not a scratch on it though. Alright...
