02+ or Prior

[PoohBEAR]

Another curios mind at work!!! if you can state your reason(s) tooo, that would be aweeeesome!!!!

I really prefer the hidden headlight look. I do think the rear valence on the 02+ is better looking, but when looking at the car from sides, front, and above, the rear valence isn't as observable. So the new frog eye headlights turn me off.

Get ready for forum nazi intervention... This has really come up a lot...

I like a little of both. I like the front bumper valance of the 91-01, but I like the rear lower valance of the 02+ and the side skirts of the 02+. The O2 rear and sides just make the NSX look more muscular. My perfect OEM look would be like the custom job an NSX owner did where he mounted the 02 headlights using a modified 91-01 bumper like in this picture.

We already did this poll, here. And the results were that over 80 percent prefer the '91-01 front over the '02+ front, while only 38 percent prefer the '91-01 rear over the '02+ rear.

spookyp, have some soup!

Same here. The retractable lights and the parking lights match the lines on the rest of the body... they're more consistent with the original design theme. I have grown to like the flush headlamps a lot more than when I first saw them though. The '02 change I like the least is the front bumper/spoiler. I personally don't care much for the vast expanse of flat-walled nose punctuated by gaping holes.

I actually really like that composite nose in the pic posted by ChrisK... hmmm....

I like the pop-up headlight look better, its just cleaner looking. I've always been a fan of the black NSX-T with the 95-96 silver wheels.

That blue car looks cross-eyed!

That blue car looks cross-eyed!

Now that you mention it, it sure does!

CokerRat, do you have a bigger version of that pic? I'd like a copy if you do. Thanks.

I think everyone has the idea by now:
02 front = no
02 rear = yes

that's why I have the 02 rear bumper, valance and JDM type-R diffuser on my 92

I like my flip ups......but they won't stop shaking over bumps, and yes, I adjusted the bump-stop. When ever I'm behind someone I feel embarassed, they probably think I'm driving a 84 pulsar with a busted light!!

guess I'm the only one weird here..
I actually like the 02 skirts rear and front bumper.. and I think it will look nice if the 02 have the flip lights hahaha

Cross eyed... isnt it cute.. ? _
not to say that the curve and the "mouth" like air dam makes the NSX less boxy

add 3 whiskers on each side of the 02... it kinda looks like a cat or a big hamster with its mouth open

guys...thanks for the opinion!!! i like to the 02 looks. i feel that the front bumper is very clean..............different maybe.
