The japanese have a much wider color spectrum to choose from. One color which seems particularly interesting is the chrome-silver mentioned in the FAQ. Unfortunately there are no close up photos I could find. If anyone has some to post I would be most grateful!
 
Ive never seen it before on any NSX site or on the build your own NSX part of honda.co.jp. Im sure it would be on some kinda shots at some point in time during the last 12 years....

Where are the 24" spinners?

....they're on order..... should be here the same day as the 747-size wing.........:D :D

but seriously, as if the NSX doesn't draw enough attention as it is, do you really need to make it the shiniest thing on the road, too? :D :D :D


edit: apparently, i needed more smileys, as this was seen as derogatory by some

It is a JDM color, as stated above. Since you don't understand what that means, let me try to explain it for you.
It is a color developed and used BY Honda FOR the NSX.
If you have a problem with it, then maybe you should advise the NSX design team. I'm sure they are awaiting your next post with rapt attention.

Apparently you misunderstood my quote. I know humor is hard to parlay through the web, but I didn't think that I hid the smiley faces in my post...... :D

Actually, I like the fact that the NSX draws more attention than a golfer w/ 3 arms, :D and I also happen to like the chrome-silver color; :cool: however, there is a way to address the issue w/ common respect for another NSXer, maybe you lack that, I don't know nor do I care. :rolleyes: No hard feelings, just try to approach these situations w/ a little more understanding. (It's not as if the chrome-silver color was your idea in the NSX design meeting & I denounced it in front of you & all your colleagues, I merely made a random comment on a website; by no means the end of your world, I'm sure. :rolleyes: )

My point: NSX = attention

chrome car = lots of attention

chrome NSX = traffic stopper!!
:D

There is no Chrome Silver color. Likely, the photo is of Sebring Silver picking up a lot of light and reflections. When really clean, they can have this mirror effect, especially when parked on a street with high contast objects around like this photo was from.

Where is it mentioned in the FAQ? I looked in the section on colors (here) and I didn't see it mentioned there.

The section on colors looks like it shows all the colors (up until 2001, anyway), including all the Japan-only colors like lime green, but it doesn't mention "chrome silver". Is this something new? Otherwise, it might just be a custom color that someone did in the aftermarket...

Well, that's obviously not anything new, judging from the wheels.

I don't see it in the Japanese '91 brochure colors shown here or in the colors available through the Japanese custom order program shown here...

I agree. I first saw this picture many years ago, before I had my first NSX.

Is Manuel (nsx1164) still on the board? I haven't seen him lately. Perhaps he can clarify.

Chrome NSX?

After I saw this thread, I went into my NSX picture archive and found this. I recall seeing this photo years ago on some Japanese website.

This picture is used on the box of one of the Rosso 1/12 models.
