Does anyone have any pics of the center taillight painted to match the rest of the car? I believe I have seen a silver one on here, maybe from Europe.

Thats the one! I think it looks better than stock. Does anybody know of a black one like this? I want to see what black looks like before I take the leap.
I just did this to my car, along with the 2002 rear emblem and rear valance. It'll be back from the shop in a week or so and I'll post a pic then. I've seen the finished product at the shop and I'm pretty happy with it. It's not for everybody, but it's different and it's not bad.
Glad you like it! I always had the feeling that the big plastic red part was a little to '80s for me. Now to me it looks a little more modern...
Ken, post thge photos! I always wondered how may car would look with the new valance. With yours I will have an exact feeling (exhaust apart...
)!

Gheba's Garage
Gheba is that your garage? What kind of flooring do you have - looks like some nice tiles.

They are an italian product, they were ordered from Tuscany a couple years ago. That is my parent house. Mine has upainted gray concrete!
That looks really nice. What steps were involved? It is a bit amusing to see a Euro spec NSX fitted with the Acura emblem much like the NSX owners here in the states who put Honda emblems on their Acura NSXs. I suppose it is a bit of the grass being greener on the other side. Maybe there can be a swap site established for those who are so inclined.
I just got my Sebring Silver back from the shop yesterday (6 months!) and the center panel is painted with the 2002 Acura emblem added (like Gheba_nsx's). IMHO the look is pretty cool. Also, I just added the 2002 rear valance. I'll post pics soon.

Hey jdnsx ... did you end up painting the senter section of your tail lights black to match your car? I have a black X too, and like the looks on the Silver, but I'd like to see other cars with it painted before I do it!
ChopsJazz... did you get some pics to post of yours with the Silver?

Private me and I'll send you some recent pics. I also sent some to Lud for the gallery. Maybe soon he'll post them.
Ken's car looks great!
I have not painted it yet. I am waiting to do all my paint mods at one time. WW side skirts, mesh inserts, 2002 valence, no badge front, painted center tail and the BMW M3 spoiler.
I'll post pics but it will be a couple months.

I'll bet it'd look great on a black car.

I was thinking almost the same thing - the word that came to mind was "Pontiac-esque"...

A friend attached some black adhesive on his balck to try it out. It looked cool... but he never painted it since he totaled the car.
The gheba look is growing!
PS: I initially did this since I was not able to remove th "H" logo (it is engraved in the internal of the center taillight). Originally I wanted to build one in brushed aluminium with NSX (in correct font) engraved in it. I still think it would look very nice on a sebring silver or even a black...

Post photos of course!
Are you going to put a "A" emblem on it?

Another non-permanent approach for those wishing to try it out would be get a vinyl sticker the corresponding size. You could even get your favorite logo printed on the sticker.
I finally found out that the new NSXPrime allows images without hosting. So finally here's a pic of my '91 with the center light painted and the 2002 rear valance.

I love the rear valance and wing!!!!! If you don't mind me asking, how much was the valance and is the wing carbon fiber?
