Here are some of of my opinions about the photos of this NSX which has received much discussion as of late. This is simply my layman's commentary based on viewing the photos of the car. I have not inspected this car in person, I am not a professional in any car-related business, and I most likely have no freaking idea what I am talking about.
This seems to have a coupe roof, but everything else in the pictures apears to me to be consistent with a 1997 NSX-T except the fixed roof and a couple interior bits that look like they are from an earlier model year. Again, I have no idea what the real deal with this car is.
Picture #1
My opinion: Looks like misaligned lower nose, misaligned hood/headlight.
Picture #2
My opinion: Looks like misaligned hood/headlight, alternate angle.
Picture #3
My opinion: Uneven trunk lid alignment, small gap between left rear quarter panel and rear upper bumper cover, misaligned and warped rear valance. And it clearly has an NSX-T engine cover, not a coupe engine cover
Picture #4
My opinion: Looks like discolored fuse box cover, missing weather seals behind headlight buckets, painted headlight buckets (black from the factory), painted radiator brackets (bare metal from the factory), missing rubber hood stoppers. Odd appearance all along the top of the firewall. Missing spare tire and spare tire bracket.
Note: also missing the cap over the right front shock, but that is quite common and not necessarily a sign of a problem, but since it's obvious and it's in the photo I noted it.
Picture #5
My opinion: Misaligned rear valance (it wraps around to the sides as well). Another angle on the NSX-T engine cover (the clamshell cover in which you can store the -T panel) instead of an NSX coupe engine cover.
Picture #6
My opinion: Looks like 1991 or 1992 center console lid missing VTEC emblem (emblem replaced in more recent pictures), a lot of dirt in the stitching on the steering wheel, a lot of dirt behind steering wheel right next to intrument cluster, a lot of dirt between headrest and drivers seat, a lot of dirt between body and weather stripping, discolored carpet, discolored or very dirty trim piece around remote fuel door release but not adjacent trim panel or molding, something that appears whiteish under steering wheel (I checked closely and nothing on my car matches that); could POSSIBLY be consistent with powder residue from an airbag deployment.
Picture #7
My opinion: Looks like discolored spots on roof liner, map light popped out, dark spot on center sun visor.
