i like the front...kinda looks like a 3000GT...the back is so-so...w/ that raised spoiler it looks ricey and less clean as the og spoiler...they could have at least raised the sides of the spoiler to make it flush...still a kick-ass car

isn't that the facelift-only version for the current model?

if so, then i think the powertrain is staying the same.

and does honda have something going on with hyundai now? 'cuz it looks like they borrowed the headlights from the tiburon.

Yeah, that looks like the final year facelift for the current generation. Not bad, though.

Don't like it. No sir, not one bit.

It's too "ricey" for me (for lack of a better term).

Definitely would not look right next to a Modena like the current ones.

For you uninformed members, the hood is a different color because it's made of carbon fiber...it most likely won't make the production vehicle, but if it does, they'll probably paint it the same color as the rest of the car. Nice car though, I kinda like the "og" headlights better. Specs are the same, I think there's supposed to be a gain of five for both HP and torque. So roughly about 285-290 HP? Still not enough to f*ck with a Z06...whatever happened to the NSX getting a V8?

One Love

the i-vtec V8 will be released for the 2003 model. That's when the body redesign will come as well.
