So the auction ends on the 31st and here are a few names already on the hood: Chelsea Handler, Daniel Radcliffe, Nick Jonas, Reggie Watts, Danny DeVito, Anderson Cooper, Craig Robinson, and John Krasinski

i am tempted because of Daniel Radcliffe but not enough to pay out more than $2,600 because that's the current bidding number.

A few pictures I found:

Looking at all the names that have signed, it is pretty cool. If you had a nice garage, and an NSX, this would be the capper. I'm interested in all the signatures, but not the hood itself. It is just a bit of a strange object. Quite large. Something more compact would appeal to me much more.

A cooler idea would be a large framed blueprint of the NSX signed by everyone.

I think a physical part of the car will have more value over time, combine that with signatures of well known people and down the road it could hold some good value.

I would be far more likely to buy that.

Apparently, that hood sold for US $10,800.00 on Ebay.

Full list of hood signatures:
Seth Gordon, Ellen Page, Siam Heder, Chelsea Handler, Adrian Grenier, Adam Scott, Naomi Scott, Molly Shannon, Jesse Plemmons, Rob Burnet, Sam Bisbee, Daniel Radcliffe, Paul Dano, Markees Christmas, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Craig Robinson, Nick Jonas, Margo Martindale, Danny DeVito, Sam Neill, Julianne Nicholson, Reggie Watts, Chloe Sevigny, Lorraine Troussaint, Charlie Day, Anderson Cooper, Ezra Edelman, Josh Groban, John Krasinski, Natasha Lyonne, Danny Perez, Adam Pally, Nick Kroll, Jay Mewes, Kevin Smith, Armie Hammer

100% of the proceeds will go to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.

Worth it? To the right person, I guess it is. Still would rather have a cool looking NSX blueprint.

I can only recognize a few names from that list. Shipping that hood to the winner is going to be a pain too.

I wonder what the hood would sell for without all the signatures. Just curious how much the hood is worth to begin with before some nice markers upped the value.

2k maybe? The hood is nicely designed but I don't think it costs too much to produce.

It's either made from a sheet of steel or aluminum, I think in the NSX's case its aluminum to reduce the car's overall weight. Not sure how much an aluminum bonnet goes for.
