NA1 NSX-R Style Carbon Fascia

[Sudesh]

Well as some know, I have the OEM NSX-R speedo setup. Today I was tidying up my NSX spare parts and came across an old standard fascia, it was part of a damaged speedo unit I purchased a couple of years ago and the fascia had a small crack and the surface was scratched in places.

Anyway instead of throwing it out I took a stab and doing some more 3M Carbon Vinyl wrapping. A little bit time consuming and takes allot of care and close to the edge cutting and long time bedding in the vinyl at the edges.

However I think it turned out well! Its not 100% complete yet, just a few more tiny cuts to make but I'm glad now I didnt throw it out lol

For comparison, this is the OEM NSX-R one in my car

As I'm already doing a speedo conversion on another members JDM NSX, it was easy for me to swap the fascia into his to give you an idea on the what the carbon style fascia looks like.

It was hard to photograph with so much light reflecting of the clear screen, but anyway here it is installed.

I think the di-noc looks better then the OEM NSX-R. I need to order some of this stuff ASAP I have so many cool ideas I want to try with it.

Sudesh-

I just wanted to say I've also been following your mods and think they are tasteful and top-notch! I have to say I like the OEM Type R patterns better. The single weave carbon patterns looks cleaner to me. Do you know if they sell single weave pattern wrap?

Thanks for the comments!

If I didnt have the OEM NSX-R cluster, I would be very very happy with the 3M wrap, it looks so much better in the flesh too. I only done this today when I found the old fascia and as I had a tiny bit of Vinyl left I just thought I'd try it out.

The OEM NSX-R parts are not true CF it's a printed pattern similar to the shift boot. Correct?

Its not the same as the shift boot, but YES its a matt plastic carbon affect, or as UK member has described it:

"The latter looks like that dodgy printed plastic faux-carbon"
