When I got my NSX, the cover was gone; the previous owner sold it on ebay. So I never knew what it was like to have one, so I do not miss it at all.
I love to walk up to it and see the billet shinning. I have several pieces on her, but I still need:
-strut bar (trying to find a good looking one for a good deal)
-injector covers (billet or paint'em???? What should I do?)
-coolant tank (on the way to me next week from SOS)
I will need to replace the lift shocks on the engine glass cover, it will fall in a second if I am not careful. I think Dali has them for 100.00$. Unless you know of a better deal somewhere?
Anyway, if you have the great car and engine, you should enjoy them; look at them frequently and be glad you have it. I know I am. Besides, most people freak when they see it is a Honda engine; many do not know the Honda/Acura connection.
