Greetings NSX prime. I recently picked up my first NSX and could not be happier with my purchase. Coming from the world of Supras and Z06s it is certainly a different driving experience, but one that I fell in love with way back in 1999 when I was fortunate enough to drive a few NSXs, among other exotics for a summer job at an exotic car dealership.
I searched the internet for hours everyday for 4 months before I found the NSX I was looking for. She is a bone stock(originally California car), dealer maintained, never crashed 2000 NSX-T Monaco Blue Pearl with black leather interior 6 speed with 71k miles. Mechanically the car is absolutely perfect and up to date with all maintenance done and drives like a dream! Cosmetically the front end and side view mirrors have some rock chips from highway driving and the passenger side molding has a tear in it. I read this is a common issue with the NSX due to the window placing too much pressure on the molding. It seems the molding is one giant piece unfortunately and will be a chore to replace and quite expensive I imagine too. I would love any and all tips how to get this job done painlessly as well as the most cost effective route.
The only other minor issue the car has is that when I have the headlights on and go over bumps, the driver side head light bucket moves a little making the light pattern bounce. I searched and only found this issue relating to the 2002+ models. Any ideas how to resolve this issue on my 2000 model with the pop ups? I didn't get to take any good pictures yet, but here are a couple for now till I have the time to take some real pictures.
Here is my face after some spirited driving:
