Default Honda NSX F50

If any of you have an NSX and fancy converting it to a Ferrari F50, just follow the pics.....

Nice conversion Looks like they made most of the bodykit from scratch too.

Still, when the average numbnut in the UK sees an NSX, they always say "nice Ferarri mate"

Yeah great, take an awesome car and turn it into something that looks nothing like an F50.

GENIUS

Nope, there's no way I'd do that either, but you've got to admire the effort they put into it.

It is a fantastic effort - but looks toss from every angle.

Much prefer the 1st pic to the last one

Yep, wouldn't do it myself either. But I like it when people try their efforts at doing something different...as opposed to shoving on pair off lexus lights they bought out of a Demon tweeks catalogue.

The cost to buy the car and to do all the bodywork (and interior???) properly could buy you quite a nice second hand Ferarri 550, 465, 355 or may even stretch to a 360

Why? Either do it properly and make it look EXACTLY like the real thing or don't bother. Look for pics of real F50's and you'll see how all proportions, angles, details etc are all wrong.

Why take one of the finest sportscars ever made and ruin it?

Made me very sad indeed to see a prime example of a beautifull NSX be butchered like that! What a waste of a top notch sports car!

I wouldn't say it was a prime example: With the state of that ghastly rear spoiler on the boot

not bad at all IMO...

I think the principle here is to show off the companies efforts rather than build or pretend to have an F50!

Was that intensional Dracoro, you've sent almost an identical reply that ALI-B sent to the batmobile - near enough looks like it was cut'n'pasted! Freaky.

Sorry, back to the subject. I can't see the point in doing this myself.

If anything it looks better screwed together than the Rari with closer panel fits

I agree, but did you notice in some of the pictures they appeared to be working off a toy model of an F50? Hmmm......

SIAL surely, seen this before i'm sure, yeh i agree with the above, looked much betta as an NSX, surely all that additional body panelling can't be good for the cars weight, your gonna look a right muppet lacking the performance with the looks of a F50, giving it away either way that its a fake lol
