Has anyone ever seen or created any Photoshop mock-ups of '02+ body style Red NSX with a blacked out roof? I wonder how this would look? Any artists out there?
 
well, you're from Ft Laulderdale (me too), which means you have access to Acura (not Honda) NSXs...

Correct me if i'm wrong, but all 02+ are Targa's in the US...no coupes. However, EVERY coupe has come with at least the option of having a black roof. Am I right??

Anyways, if you want to buy an NSX, check out Rick Case Acura on Sunrise and 441...they have 2 NICE 04's in!! See Gita Roberts and tell her Brian sent you (she'll know who I am and she'll most likely do her best to hook you up...i've sold a few NSXs for her).
 
Thanks. I already drove thier red/black one. Love the new interior, so much cleaner and refined than my old NSXs.

Yes, coupes have black roofs. Though no more coupes in the US, only targas. Thus, my question if anyone can Photoshop a 3/4 view of a new (Red) targa with a blacked out roof. Just to see if it looks goofy, or if it works for us NSX pilots who like that jet-fighter look.

Looks nice, Ojas. Interesting that the steering wheel is on the left hand side in your pic.
Whoa, I did not catch that. I just noticed the antennae is on the wrong side, too. I wonder why it was flipped to look like a LHD.
 
Ojas, nice image, many thanks.

BTW, what Honda site did you get this image from?

Yeah, I think it's a teaser for Honda to show this LHD image, if they won't sell me a coupe in the US! We are left to buy targas and change the roof, ugh.

Other countries have LHD though...

I wonder whether the LHD version is available in a coupe anywhere else or not. Hey, you guys in Europe (on the mainland) - can you still buy the NSX Coupe?
 
Honda NSX in Malaysia

My friend (Mike "Chromatose" Niday) is working in Malaysia now and he snapped this photo for me the other day. There's an exotic car dealership close to where he works and this NSX was on the showroom floor:

Great shot. This is exactly what I'm looking for.

I like that blacked out look so much, I was considering how the new NSX "would like it?" In looking over the new targa roofs, the two gaps across where the targa meets the front and back of the roof are very thin, and the only thing that shows is the slight black rubber seal. So, if one wanted to paint the roof black, the overall look would be fairly clean.
 
I think it might look funny if the body was not black, the top was black and the targa roof panel was removed. Then you'd just have black A and B pillars. I suspect this is why the black tops were never offered with the targa cars.
