the formal way to introduce my new NSX

[yoojeankim]

i made a thread a bit ago asking if previous Z owners regretted the trade... well i know i dont ;] Received my 91 black/ivory nsx with 40k miles about 3 days ago and since then i did a process of polish to make it look the way i want it ! thought itd be a better way to show off the car (haha)

Heres the car in the garage (looks pretty doesnt it?) wait till u see it under the lights

mats before and afters

Before & afters on paint:

WOW!! ....looks super clean! great work!

What did you use to get rid of the swirl marks! (I have some thats why i ask:smile: )

 

[Shaun Ray]

SWEET RIDE! That's the way an NSX should be treated. Now just remember that feeling and never let go.

Nice job. Now get rid of the broken antenna and the 1980 cell phone antenna, get a nice aftermarket lip spoiler (looks like yours is missing), and you will be good to go. Of course some better wheels is the next mod.

 

[Big_D]

Congrats, the car looks great. You got the best color...:smile: if you take good care of it. Looks like your off to a great start. Now spend some time driving it.

Now you can see why I sold the Z.:smile:

already ordered the Shark antenna , is that 1980 cell phone antenna easy to take off? i took off the rest.

thanks all. im really enjoying the car i have a lot of mods i want to do but winter is coming over here so would rather wait and see what comes out.

Prima swirl, Finish and Porter cable

I assume this was a one owner car?

 

[slamstrom]

Congratulations. You did a good job on the detailing. Looks 10X better after detailed the car.

Im the 3rd.

 

[MisterNSX]

Looks great, especially since black is hard to maintain.

A couple of other easy things to instantly improve the appearance (if you can where you live)...remove the windshield wipers and the sticker in the lower left area of the windshield.

 

[Meeyatch1]

Car looks great except for the Super Swamper sized tires on there....YIKES!!

 

[sokudo88]

great job on detailing...i used meguiars scratch remover and i also tried NUFINISH....both works great !! you guys should try it out !

haha dont worry. things will soon change, saving up through winter and changing it through spring / summer

Really nice work on the detail. It's great to see an NSX get the attention it deserves.

Its just glued on. Don't pull, twist it off with a pair of pliers. You have to turn it. Some Goo-Gone will then get rid of the glue.

 

[Semnos_NSX]

Car looks great! Good Job on the detailing! New wheels will make that car look totally different!

I used a blow dryer to heat up the old glue and it pulled right off. I recommend using a little dawn in warm water for any residue left as Goo-Gone can be a pain if any touches paint or rubber. If there is a lot of residue left you will have to use Goo-Gone.

Agreed. And some Comptech sport springs.

 

[Dhalsim]

Looking good. I cant wait to have one of my own to clean up.

 

[nsxsimon]
