STORY
The dream of owning a NSX finally came true back in 2010 when I purchased a red NA1. At that time, I was just so happy to own one that I didn't mod it except for wheels. Because I ended up not using as much as I thought I would, I ended up selling it a little over year later. Moved onto other cars that are more practical but none could compare to driving a NSX. Two years later, the NSX itch came back and I purchased this black 1991 NSX in February of 2013. Shortly after purchasing, the modding began as I wanted to enter the car in shows and attend local meets. I wanted to be able to make my car stand out and be different.
