I very much like the stock one if you don't have a plate on the front, just the cover. But the 5.5 gives it a bit more aggression, for me at least.

I'm with you. (as long as you don't have a front lic plate of course) the stock looks fantastic.

The bumper does of course, but with the combination of flip headlights like the 1st gen NSX I believe it has that same look to it.

But a rounder and more sleek NSX, the NSXs are more squared and early 90's looking, the C5 still looks very modern today, flows very good and it looks cleaner when done right
