Just a few randoms from Park Ave NY, HIN 2010, and a unique tower in Westchester Ny...

I still plan on painting front and rear valance inserts black, and installing the rear lower carbon nsx-r diffuser. Cosmetically then, the car will be completely finished.

I remember seeing your car in person at night in Poughkeepsie, it is a stunner!:biggrin:
 
I love it! Looks great.. only one thing bothers me though-the rear valance. I think it will look much better painted black and look more OEM. If you don't want to do that, then I would suggest at least painting the mesh black. Painted grills/mesh screams late 90's style imo.

I agree with synth19, but I'll take it a step further and suggest you paint the front center section (and mesh) black as well, like the factory 2002+ NSXs had.

Otherwise it looks great!

Definitely will be next, I posted it in the original post above the pics but I'm not sure if everyone saw it. That and a lower rear carbon diffuser will probably be the only other exterior mods... And interior wise just cutting my carbon console to install the double din head unit I just purchased.

Thanks for the complitments guys
 
Car looks sick....maybe its my eyes, but is the front nose drooping downwards?:confused:

That is just an optical illusion... In the last few pics there was actually a drop off in pavement where the car was parked when the photos were taken. But I did notice the same thing at first...

Oh yeah, I thought I mentioned that before. You said "next weekend" in your original post, but that was back in May! Haha, so I guess you haven't gotten the chance to do it yet?

I work at a brokerage firm in midtown manhattan and life is crazy right now!!
haha
But yes, hopefully soon I will get them sprayed!!
 
I seen your car at the Made2Envy show down @ the Point. I brought mine down to, but didn't show it. Your car looked good couldn't ask for a better day. Nice picks

Lots of changes, and alot of completely busting the car apart and redoing it :eek:

Last time it'll ever get redone though... atleast by me :biggrin:
 
someone should really photoshop your car to make the parts that are suppose to black, black. The color is stunning but its the details that really lets the car down. I would be pist off at your body guy for making the same obvious mistake not once but twice!!! I wouldn't even take the car back until they corrected it, you must have the temper of a saint.

I am the "body guy" and the "mistake" was not made twice, the pictures of when the car was white were also of when it was the first day out put back together and shortly there after the valances were sprayed black. I gave the paint proper curing time before masking them up to spray the black.
Its almost funny how upset a lot of ppl on prime get about the painted valance inserts... Don't worry like I said I will be spraying them shortly here. I will update the pics then for everyone as well...
 
*stick foot in mouth* I had a feeling that there was a very small possiblilty that you did the paint yourself. Well you should know that we are all pretty anal about our cars. I wish I had the skills to paint the car myself because it would allow me to get creative with the colors as well. Like I said, the color is stunning, and probably the best green I've seen on the forums. I can't wait till you find the time to finish up the work.
 
We should definitely hookup before end of summer to drive in the city one night, your rare lime green will compliment my rare convertible hehehe
 
I like this photo a lot. The black wheels just make it look better.
