Here is my NSX last year at SEMA. Since then I have repainted the car supercharged it, and put some 19/20" mirror chrome wheels on the car.

The 'kit' wouldn't look half bad if the hatch was kept stock, wing removed, and grind away the silly molded 'rivet' heads on the bumper and hood. Maybe recountour the headlights a little bit too. Would still be too over the edge for me though, but I'm sure this is perfect to promote the iForged line, if that is what it is for.

some crazy cars you have there. Good luck with it, i'm looking forward to seeing the end result. It takes guts to do an outrageous kit like the veilside one, I'll give ya that. Your car will attract a LOT more attention then it will already have after F&F 3 comes out.

On a side note, I take it you own Iforged? Very popular among the porsche lads.
I'm also assuming this will be used mostly as a marketing tool?

Haha, anyway thanks iForged for sharing the process with us. May not be everyone's favorite but it sure is rare and it's always nice when people that have the ability to buy these things take the time to share it with those of us who aren't as fortunate - Have fun with it, I'm sure we'll see it in some magazines, no?

Thanks everyone for their support and their honest opinions. Keep them coming, I would love to know how other enthusiasts feel about what I am doing positive or negative. I know its not everyone cup of tea, but I just wanted to show a build up of my RX7 to other car enthusiats. The car will be used for promotional uses, and it will be in our booth at SEMA this year.

We are building the wheels currently and it will have a 6" rear lip on a 20x13, same rear lip size as my Porsche Widebody. I would love to hear for other enthusiats how to get to the 500rwhp or higher with under 20 lbs of boost. Last year I did a similar buildup of our Metal Porsche Widebody on 6speedonline.com

One Porsche shot to share.

Looks like a wild project, will definately grab some serious attention when completed.

When you posted before I never knew you owned iforged. We at New Image Motorsports have given you some business lately. Im assuming the wheels will look something like the 20x14" rears on Kris's bimmer.

Yeah when we did Kris car it was defintely insane. Stephans car is hot too with those 22"s. I meet some of the crew at SEMA IAS, and you guys have some of the hottest cars on the East Coast if not the entire U.S.

looks like you're having MOBWORKS do the work. Good choice! They're my body shop of choice too. They did my last FD that went to SEMA 05 and FF3 (hopefully you guys will spot the gold FD in the movie).
