    As far as I like to idea to have it refreshed at the factory, for 5500-7000 (shipping) you can do a lot at a known specialist here and don't have worry about the car getting damaged/lost during shipping.

    I have a friend who runs a freight business, if it was a serious enquiry, I could ask for some rates for you.


    Unless your car needed paintwork, surely Kaz would be a better option?

    Yes at that sort of money a chat with Kaz would be best, however I think the front bumper at least needs paintwork.

    You can't keep the "old" parts - the refresh states "parts to be exchanged ... to be disposed of at the factory".

    Another thing is that the service has to be arranged through a Honda Dealer in Japan.

    Then in that case surely the only sensible thing to do is to book your NSX in with Kaz and allow him free raine on what he feels he needs to replace and then you get to keep the parts to sell to Drmikey.

    A fortune saved on shipping fees, guaranteed second to non accurate workmanship (not just a Honda dealer mechanic) and any warranty issues Kaz is straight on hand.

    And probably no up front $1000 fee for just an appraisal.

    There you go Kaz, expect at least a couple of enquiries.

    Hi,

    not my intention to badmouth Honda Guys, even being the Factory ones, but if i had to send my car anywhere, it would
    be to Kaz hands, no second thoughts...

    They only replace parts with brand new ones. For example, if a ball joint needs replacing, they replace the whole arm, not replace the ball joint. In my eyes a good specialist is more skilled as they actually restore and refurbish parts rather than just buy a brand new unit for £££
