Looking very good.
I just ordered the same bumper undercover for my own NSX.
However, I am using a home made aluminum battery undertray.
Could you post the outside (rectangular) measurements of your battery undertray or PM them to me?
I would like to know if mine has the correct dimensions, especally if it is wide enough.
can't beleive they never made that color for N. America???!!!
it is one of my favorites....please more pics!!!

Its only custom in so much as it was special order when available in 98. AFAIK, there are only 2 in the UK, both are Targa, the other having blood red leather option interior and other wheels / suspension mods.
I'll post more pics when the polish is dry

Very nice! I am jealous of all the different special NSXR parts you got....hehe! Anyway i am getting there too.
Lung
aggressive, yet tasteful.
Not had time for the under-trays as I've been driving the NSX a lot in the last month.
However, I did make time to fit the following new parts. A big thanx to RJ over what has been a very long transaction, often testing at times, but finally I have the very rare NSX-R OEM engine cover installed. Being a Targa I needed to make up some spacers, but once they were done and painted, it took only minutes to install
I've also installed the new Dali coolant tank finished in red to match the cam covers.
With many of the OEM bolts replaced with the new stainless button bolts, the engine bay is finished apart from the Procar brace hopefully later this summer :smile:

hmmm....I think I want those wheels for my car!!!
how does one get those gunmetal oem wheels?
When I refurbed my 02's I wanted the NSX-R grey finish. After talking to several dealers, I was told its the Honda color NH537, referred too as Pewter Grey in the UK.
Would love to meet up, just drop me a line when you're UK bound and I'll get a few owners together!
Its tempting to do the 02 front but I just love the pop-ups. If they ever changed the law then I'd make the change over
JetPilot3, whats the latest on your retrim?
regards, Paul
Very nice car with lot of beautiful parts.
IMO 02 front would be awesome combination with that color.
The clue is in the word fun ...
My NSX is fully original paint. With 10 yrs and 50k miles the front is showing signs with a number of rock chips, albeit they are touched in.
My dilema was whether to continue to live with them and preserve the originality or to repaint the front end.
The other option was what I have now done. I've had the NSX professionally wrapped by the team that does the Gumball cars. What I now have is the original paintwork protected from further rock chips but with a new look for as long as I choose to keep it :smile:
It took a while to get used to it even though I had a good idea how it would look.
I had thought about the Matt Black look but as the original is a dark finish I went for the NSX-R color scheme with great results. The other option was to copy Franks gorgeous Pearl example but the pearl material is not as good for coverage as the pure white.
And of course, when I'm ready, I can go back to the Magnum Grey Pearl in all its original glory.

Whew....! Wow Paul I was completely shocked but now that you told us its been professionally wrapped I can sigh a breath of relief.
Your NSX is absolutely stunning in Magnum Grey. I still can't believe they never offered that color in North America.
Now go sticker that bad boy up and participate in the next Gumball! I'll co-drive!

Since the wrap was applied I've pretty much left my NSX alone with regards to mods, and focussed on the best bit which is simply driving the car!!
We've been to the Nurburgring, Spa, up and down France and covered a lot of the UK. Depending on the weather forecast I've switched between rim / tyre combo to suit the event. The OEM rims now run on AD08's (the OEM NSX-R tyres are now on the only UK NA2 NSX-R) and the Enkeis are wrapped in HanKook EVO 12's. I also recently updated the Enkeis with Gunmetal centre color.
This week I did finally complete most of a modification I've been piecing together. It started with the Hagasan adaptor, followed up by a stock S2K wheel/airbag. Hagasan then collected an SOS hub and the CC buttons. After much patience I finally secured the replacement wheel I was after. I think it may be the first one ever completed on an NSX.
Next job on the list, 02+ ABS upgrade ....

Looks great Paul!!!
Although I do miss the grey a bit, I love your car and the 02+ R wheels compliment it very nicely!!
So glad to hear you're enjoying it as well, I know I have with mine the last 9 years of ownership and am glad more and more owners are starting to now!

A little over 2 years so a long overdue update ....
Finally made the time following several other life events to deal with, and over the past few weeks have bolted her all back together ....
fired up first time, a short trip to the testing station and all ready for the trip to the paint shop at the weekend ...
