If ya see it be sure to hit it with a truck! Ok, I'm sorry. I've always believed in, "It's your vette, do what you want...make it yours." But damn! Someone got rice all over that steak! If someone wants an Acura NSX they should just buy one!

Saw the car at what was primarily a Low Rider Auto show at the San Diego Convention Center last year.

See the following web site.

Nothing much has changed on the web site since I looked at it after I saw the car. If I remember correctly the Body cost about $60K put on your car.

Default Yeah

It is called the corvette "Spirit" body kit. I think the company who makes it went out of business though. I rememer it being $60K too.
