Why are you hung up on this "lowest end car" nonsense? Honda is Honda. Every single Honda is a "parts bin" car to some degree, meaning that all Hondas will share some parts with other Hondas. The NSX is no exception. The stock Civic wheel is nicer than the stock NSX one. PERIOD. If you want to keep airbags, that was probably the best way to go, whether it was preference or just an easy fitment.

Let it go...

For me the NSX is special car. Putting parts from a civic on it is like blasphemy. That's just my opinion though.

I have a feeling it was debadged and someone put that there just for the hell of it. Either that or the owner wanted to mess with people lol. Who knows.

It's not even the OEM Civic one though. It looks like it came from BYS or something with the carbon fiber and possibly more alcantra around the rest of it.

Ok, ok. I'm not gonna win this one.

On a side note, I wish the Z had that center layout with the angled radio and buttons right in front of the shifter.

Yeah.
Maybe even the $700+ carbon fiber J's Racing one (although on second look, probably not the J's since the center garnish looks OEM, the J's has that carbon too.)

I know what you mean OneFitZ, but atleast it's from another Honda. It doesn't look too bad (although the wrapping looks a little "bulky").

Gotta love that BMW R8!

[/sarcasm]

Least it's not as bad as that.
You can still see the Audi logo.

They sure were!! I still have my 95. I can't bring myself to sell it....
