Gen III's don't look complete without the 08+ hood to me.

Also, I'm not partial to either Gen II or Gen III's (I do hate the Gen I and Gen II RT/10's though), but I'm much more of a fan of the coupes than the verts. I just don't like the tailsection of the verts, it is so smooth compared to the rest of the car it looks odd. I like the later Gen III coupes where the spoiler kind of wraps around the tail lights.

This car is perfect:














If it were me, I'd hold out for a coupe if I were to get a Gen III. Yours does look wicked though.

A 2003 VERT IS A 35k TO 45k CAR...a 2006 COUPE IS A 47k TO 57k CAR...

So being that I havent sold the nsx yet the 2003 vert was what I could afford...After I get rid of the nsx Ill be all pissed and wishing I had the coupe..LOL.

I don't know of any two competing muscle cars that went from not looking alike one year, to looking similar the next. I am not saying one car is better than the other, but this was blatant.
