Round taillights?
different gauge faces?
What item or items would you like to see produced?
BladesNSX said:I guess I'm the only one that wants this since I've posted about it before and only got a few replies.
I would like to see a replica of the Type-R underbody diffuser please. I believe there are already copies of the rear valance; why not the front diffuser??
Oh and yes the LED taillights would be nice.
I'm not sure about anything else I want....What a great car, I'm so happy with her:biggrin:

I took a good look at these this weekend. The shape of the bag is not a closed cylinder, but rather more like a long, rectangular strip of fabric with elastic along the long sides to stretch over the wheel (hope this all makes sense to you). It fastens to the exact outer diameter of the tire using velcro; there's a velcro strip along the edge of one end, and there's a long velcro patch (almost a foot long) towards the other end, and it overlaps up to whatever point is needed for an exact fit around the tire.FuryNSX said:Thanks Ken!! That's very close. I like that it's open so that the spare could still be bolted to the bracket. My two questions would be if the bag is TOO big for the space saving spare (Site states "22" through 31" tire". I need to go measure the spare.)
Well, this is ripstop nylon, which you often see on lightweight windbreakers, sleeping bag covers, etc. I would say it's somewhat smooth.FuryNSX said:if the material is course enough so as to minimize sliding in the trunk. I wouldn't want the nylon to be too smooth.
Has anyone got hands-on experience with this product. There seem to be shortage of California dealers that sell ths product. Any ideas or insight from anyone? Anyone know what "70 Denier Nylon Ripstop" feels like?

No, I didn't post about it. I was at Road America over the weekend. I didn't plan on doing much track driving (thanks to all-day rain predicted for Sunday), so I didn't bother bringing my R compound track tires with me this time around. (When I do, I leave the spare at home, since the track tires are my emergency backup tires.) On Sunday I found that I had a flat, and took it to the tire department at the local Wal-Mart to get it repaired. They were quite competent as well as inexpensive. They found the leak; the tire, which was quite worn (to about 3/32"), had tears along the bead (perhaps related to my driving off the track into the grass at one point on Saturday), so it couldn't be repaired. They wouldn't sell me a new tire because they only had H-speed-rated tires in that size, so I drove home on the spare.FuryNSX said:I'm sorry to hear about your spare tire incident. What exactly happened? Did you post details in another thread?
I agree, and this description applies equally to the '91-96 spares.Hrant said:for the 97+ spares, there is very little room to put a cover and fit the spare back as you will rub the sides while installing and removing the spare. In fact, if you do this often, you may have chafed the harness on the left side. And any material, even our Denier microfiber, over time will wear and tear from such mounting/dismounting.
I'd like to believe that I'm not complicating my options, but really clarifying what my options are. My main concern is how smooth a cover's material is. I don't know what "Denier microfiber" feels like, and I don't have access to one of your covers to see if it serves my purposes. As such, I don't like the idea of purchasing some sort of cover, putting it over the tire, placing it into the right side of the trunk, only to find that the tire still slides around because the material is too smooth. If you're able to confirm that after wrapping a 91-96 spare with your cover and squeezing it into the right side of the trunk, it won't slide around, I'd be glad to purchase one of your covers.Hrant said:Frankly, I am surprised as to why your are complicating your options. Not that I care about our spare cover offering, but put a hole in the center and voilà, you have access to the spare mounting bracket while enclosing the entire spare .......... on the other hand, for the 97+ spares, there is very little room to put a cover and fit the spare back as you will rub the sides while installing and removing the spare. In fact, if you do this often, you may have chafed the harness on the left side. And any material, even our Denier microfiber, over time will wear and tear from such mounting/dismounting.
That would be the dealmaker!Hrant said:Did I mention that mine come with a logo too :biggrin:
There isn't a lot of room for it to slide. It's not tight (you don't have to "wedge it in") but it doesn't have room to slide any distance fore and aft.Hrant said:The simplest way to assess to get a picture as to what you might face, wrap your spare (presumably the pre 97) in a nylon garbage bag and see how snug the fit is on the right side. If it is snug ennough that it will not slide, then you wouldn't have an issue with my tire cover either. If it will slide, chances are mine might slide too.
I'm a bit more concerned with lateral sliding, particularly if it might smack into the CD changer from side to side movement.nsxtasy said:There isn't a lot of room for it to slide. It's not tight (you don't have to "wedge it in") but it doesn't have room to slide any distance fore and aft.

The deep red NSX in one of these post is the best looking NSX I have ever seen. If it ever comes up for sale, I would have to sell my soul to buy it!
