New Pics of my Yellow NSX-R Replica

[Frank Spano]

3 days till nsx goes into shop, to get a repaint after the buthchers at Legendary did a half ass job.

But my questions is since the car is getting painted the platinum white paerl, would the championship nsx-r headlights look good? or should I keep the silver. I am painted the wheels either the championship white or the pearl white, still undecided on that part. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, and Have a great Thanksgiving. Frank

Hi Frank,

See the attached of the UK Pearl NSX. It has the silver headlamps which work well. IMO I would leave as silver, possibly go Pearl but NOT championship as this would clash.

Also photo of Silver rims against the Pearl. Silver is a JDM custome pack option for the NSX-R so would look right, as would the Grey. As with the lights, I think C/white would clash.

Good luck with the paintjob

regards, Paul

Definitely agree 100% as to my prior post and our conversation on the phone Frank, the pearl vs. championship seems to be like black and white side by side...

Paul, might do the washi grey or the platinum white pearl, I believe both colors were available on the nsx-r, from another post in the wheel section. Thanks, Frank

Definately keeping the nsx headlights silver.

Actually, was just looking at Detlef's prototype nsx-r, which is painted platinum white pearl with the championship white wheels, actually that combo looks really nice too. Frank

....... and the incoming seats are Kite garage replica nsx-r seats............. Thanks, Frank

Hi Frank,

Can you share any info on supplier(s) for these replica seats please as well as the covers you referred to in an earlier post?

There's a couple of us in the UK that are considering seat swaps at present.

Hope all is going well at the paintshop; really looking forward to seeing the new 2008 look!

regards, Paul

Pinta, thank you for the pics. Do you have any of this color car with the type-r wheels? Thanks, Frank

Sharp looking car - can't believe you are considering painting it!

The yellow is unique whereas white is just another NSX-R

I can see you must have a lot invested in this ride....amazing machine though! Been quietly following your build and it's mighty impressive!
