Manuals are going the way of the dodo, sadly.
Quite the turn of events! I was getting worried for you. What are you going to configure in!!!??? (Get the carbon ceramics - they are hoooottttt). :biggrin:
I cannot get the full monty and although I like the looks will never ever use them like they are meant to be used. Orange paint tan seats carbon spoiler upgrade of the wheels and paint film protector.
would love to get a color that lets me get the red inside but cannot seam to get the paint colors to match up-red/red-blue/red?wish more people posted pics of there 2017 and up cars so at least i would get a idea of what some color combos look like.

[MENTION=37906]ukester[/MENTION] have you gone down the YouTube rabbit hole? There is a great blue walk-around (from a Canadian dealer I think?) and definitely a red / red. I used the YouTube videos to help me do a lot of research. (For me it was White or Black or maybe the Blue).

that timeframe doesn't seem right unless they had an order in place already.
As I mentioned, I placed an order in Jan and the NSX should arrive end of this month.
Even when PMC was cranking these out it was minimum 3 months.

email me at scott.yamasaki at acuraoffremont dot com
so the deal isn't dead which is great. Did he just extend the deal for a week just for you or Honda is keeping the order book open?

Today I confirmed with the NSX team that books are closed for 2021.
Based on [MENTION=32732]powdbyrice[/MENTION] saying the order books are closed, one of two things is going on with your dealer. One, like he said, they already had an order in and they're letting you take it (lucky!). The other is that they're shady, they're going to take a deposit with you knowing full well at some point (maybe they'll wait a couple of months) they'll have to "regrettably" inform you that they can't get you the car after all but they'll gladly hold onto that deposit and roll it over to a MY22 order. If I were you, I'd be really clear with them that you are an educated customer and you want all the terms and details in writing before you'll give them any money. If they're on the up-and-up that shouldn't be a problem at all; if they're shady they may well back away or at the very least you'll be protected.

did you order? inquiring minds want to know!
If i am ordering it will be today-it used to be easy to buy the hard to pay now its hard to buy and much easier to pay. It would be so nice to see some after market parts you can buy after the sale like any of the carbon stuff engine inside etc...Still cannot believe the rear spoiler is 3 grand extra let alone the 6 grand for the up charge paint. Yes i have watched so many youtube vids but it does not take the place of seeing them in person and as we know time is ticking to buy one of these.
Well let me tell you the $6000 upcharge for the paint is well worth it if you love the two colors. My Novella Blue is extraordinary. I have people constantly saying it is the most beautiful paint color they have ever seen. As for carbon parts, forget the aftermarket engine covers as I believe they are difficult to make and are already available via the factory. The rear diffuser is indeed expensive, but looks great. While the people who buy Honda/Acura complain about the prices, just look over at Porsche where you can spend $500 having your FOB Key painted the same color as the car. And people do it all the time. Honda/Acura is the Trader Joes of markets where everyone wants something special at a cheap price. HA HA
Please keep us posted. It sounded like our cars would be rolling off around July if you ordered. I only added rear deck spoiler and interwoven wheels. Luckily for me my color was only $1k more. Couldn’t afford other goodies

My sense is that you will see very few new NSXs with the $6000 paint upgrade. Really comes down to what you are happy with. I don't think there is a bad color.

I sold only 1 valencia red. It sat for a while too.
Funny story about that car.
In 2017, I sold it to a guy in Arizona who, unbeknownst to me at the time, was just the middleman for someone outside the country. We got a call from the Port of Los Angeles asking why the car was at the Port. Acura held the car at the Port for a while since they werent allowing NSXs to be exported (still dont?).

[MENTION=32732]powdbyrice[/MENTION] How do I get invited to these? Also is anyone a member of NSXCA? Is there any value to it and what are people using it for?

I am a member primarily out of support. They hold yearly meets around the US. For your $40 per year you get several NSX Magazines that highlight what is going on, etcetera. Good organization, not affiliated with NSXPrime. They are scheduled for a big meet this August in Portland. They sponsor a track day for those who want to drive their cars on a local track. Lots of sponsors show up selling their wears.

I’ll probably do it just for support as well just wasn’t sure if that was a golden ticket to these calls.

Yes, you are correct in that members were allowed to Zoom.
I could be wrong but you may get discounts from certain vendors such as Science of Speed.
