Happy with the power it was time to start making the NSX look the part. Since the NSX really isn't much of a sleeper to begin with, Zach decided to make the outside match the performance it was capable of delivering. The kit fitted to the car is made by the Japanese company Sorcery. Known for their high-quality Super GT inspired kits, this is one of very few in existence and the only example I know of that has been fitted to the NA1 flip-up headlight front end. After some reworking of the bumper the kit fits so well you'd never guess it was designed for a stationary headlight model. The kit widens the car quite a bit and is sculpted to enhance the original bodylines of the NSX, making it look even more aggressive.
To finish off the car the right set of wheels had to be installed. Zach decided to go with one of my favorite wheels of all time, the Meister S1. As I've mentioned in other articles the Meister is a wheel where you just can't go wrong, it looks great on any car with proper sizing. To match the car Zach found a set of 19X8.5/20X10.5 Meisters and hammered the car onto them. The look is simply to die for, a stance rarely seen on the NSX. This car really stands out amongst the average neutered-looking NSXs typically owned by middle age men. Hopefully this is a trend we will continue to see as the NSX grows older and becomes more affordable.
