The carbon bumper is molded to the exact same shape as OEM.
All mounting tabs are in the factory position, making for an easy installation.
With the Pole 2 Flag Racing carbon fiber bumper beam installed, we could finish hanging the rest of the bodywork.
New Factory foam easily mounts over the new carbon bumper beam.
After mounting the front bumper, the car was able to see the light of day for the first time as it awaited color sanding.
With color sanding complete, the work at Diamond Hills Collision Center was finished and the car was ready to come home.

Amazing work, Billy!
Thanks James!
Epic finish. Love this project
Did performance friction discontinue their big brake kits?
I could probably get them make a few if a couple people get together and want to order a set.
Can I get updates?
Soon!
Amazing looking. Why not just run 18s front and rear though? The 19s look massive on such a small car.
Looks are subjective but NSXs look great with a diameter stagger. Plus, there are better tire options in 19″ for the rear.
Great job Billy and those involved with the project!
I have close to 300k miles on my CTSC E85’d 91, but I think I’ll keep her and consider an update instead of saving up for the NC1.
Why turbo vs. s/c?
Thank you, and it’s great to hear your NSX is being driven!
It’s pretty difficult to get air intake temps under control on supercharged NSXs during continuous use on road courses, plus that’s a lot of weight at nearly the highest part of the car -hurting the car’s center of gravity and handling. They are easy to install and improve the car’s torque and are GREAT on the street, but for this project, a turbo is a better route:
I’ve always been a turbo guy and the first NSX i’ve ever driven was turbocharged and made 500whp. Turbos are far more complex to install but there is so much more you can do with them. Many are done poorly with sub-par turbo sizing, engineering, components, and tuning. But when done right, they are incredible. I’m taking what was learned on the record-setting FXMD NSX Time Attack car, and pulling from world-class motorsports engineering to make the most advanced turbocharged NSX ever made. Stay tuned!
Hey, it’s cool you went to the Lookout Roadhouse above Lake Elsinore! My wife and I go there all the time for breakfast. Great view of the area from up on the moutains! They’ve made it through the pandemic, but barely.
I grew up and learned to drive Ortega Hwy. I’ve never eaten there but will have to try that sometime!
