NSX-R NA1 vs. NA2 Bake-Off

[s14_tat]

Only the white ones. There is just something missing when you have a grand prix white NA1 pre 02. I'm not jumping on the bandwagon loving that color simply because its type Rish. The rear on the pre 02 nsx is hideous, that was my most hated angle in my nsx before I did the full 02 + update. Its just super cheap looking, it never looked good to me even back in the 90's.

edit: I also forgot to mention that the only time a white pre 02 looks decent is when you have a color matching roof.

Really I love white with the black roof. But I do agree with the rear end being ugly. I think its the center of the rear end. Guess thats why I am contiplating doing a 02 update in the rear.

I'm just gonna have to totally disagree with you on this one.

The Series 2 Type R rear wing looks like an aftermarket piece from a "Fast & Furious" movie, the front headlights look borrowed from a Mitsubishi 3000GT, the new nose looks like it "hair-lips" up to clear parking curbs, and the "filled-in" lower rocker panels make the car look heavier.

I was just never a fan of the 2002 "face lift"...but I think the HSC concept looks killer!

absolutely hit the nail on the head for me, i agree with every part of that.

i think the NA1 embodies the spirit of the 1990's honda mindset and is everything i love about the company!

I totally disagree lol, a white na1 with a black roof does not look hideous, looking super cheap i don't think so... hahaha :wink:

This is the first time I'm coming across this thread. Glad it was resurrected.

Comment: Wouldn't the four-quandrant arrangement in post #1 look awesome as a poster?

great thread

I love the 5-spoke NA1 NSX-R the most.


Anybody know of a set of those wheels for sale in the States?
