wasn't sure on where to post this but i was looking at my friends online mag and it had some coverage tokyo auto salon 2005.
first i was suprised to see a 5th gen, but as i looke closer, i noticed that it was ALL cf? either that or some freaky ass paint job. but by today's standards, i wuldnt be suprised if it were full CF.

that car is hot. that is obviously a fiber material but i dont think its carbon. could be wrong. i wish they made more parts in carbon kevlar but thats pretty expensive.

Theres no way the whole car is CF, cause look at the trunk compared to the body of the car. Its a little darker. Its still looks like a pretty sweet ride. Expecially the engine

Not a fan of it's exhaust, the or the chromed out valve cover. and, what's the deal with the ITB, what kind of gain does that give you if you're doing a full NA build?
from what i hear ... the itb give massive gains on the b-series .. people over on h-t running them.. a shop that i go to ordered one and is about to put it in their ctr.. we'll see what happends on the track
i love the look of the engine bay.. major bling factor
=)
but hey.. that's why we all have our own cars to do what we want to them

If you have c/f part or pay close attention to it you will see the color or shade is different depend on the position of the part and light shrine on there. Someitmes i see my hood grey sometimes i see it in black. So depend on where you are looking at.
There were pictures of a 'full' c/f NSX floating around the Internet...and I'm pretty sure this is the same type of setup. All of the removeable body panels are carbon fiber...but the chassis is still factory stamped steel with c/f overlay.
Look at that engine shot, you don't see the 'weave' underneath the hood.
