HELP: NSX-R pics red

[Lankstarr]

Guys,

I'm struggling to find pics of a red NA2 NSX-R with a black roof and mirrors.

Ideally I'd like to see what it looks like next to one with a red roof, with/without mirrors, with R bonnet carbon/black and with it red.

Hopefully someone has a few of these in their picture library that they can post to help me out?

Thanks,

Luke

Its a hard one to fin. Out of my many MANY photos, I dont have a pic of a real one. I do have pics of facelift in red, black roof and black mirrors though.

Well, don't be shy ;O)

I've been checking out Detlef's RR as well but it's surprising about the lack of pictures of the red/black facelift combo.

If you don't mind posting your pic it would be good to have a looky.

What would be a great XMAS present would be to burn all of your pics onto DVDs for people LOL

Maybe you could offer a picture filled DVD with each NSX refresh at your place!

Check out Connors [gcon45] pics, he wrapped the roof on his red facelift and it looks amazing.

Obviously that's a pic of an R lookee-likee but personally I don't think the black mirrors work on the red body.

I agree with Mark. Well at least in those pictures posted anyway. The mirrors look too "black" and therefore in my eyes rather bigger in proportion to the car if that makes sense? I kind of optical trick!!

Luke,

It's not that the mirrors are too 'black' IMO, its because the car needs to be visually balanced.

Black roof and mirrors (on a light body color (added before some smarty pants says they look OK on their black car)), needs to be balanced with more 'black'. Look at Simon's NSXGB silver example, car looked good when he painted the mirrors, but looked balanced once he added the rear R-style spoiler in black.

Your car has black rims at present IIRC. I'm not a black wheels fan. I think you would need to lighten the wheel color if you go with the above changes. OEM silver would obviously work, but maybe the Washi Grey finish that was a JDM option for the R as you are moving into the R look for your NSX?

All the best,

Paul

Black mirrors and that'd be perfect. ;)

As always great pics Sudesh, thanks ;)

I agree with Paul ref balance - If it's just the roof and mirrors then the mirrors look too much and look a bit out of place. If the R spoiler were put on in black then it would hhelp address the balance. With the black wheels I think the red black feel will be tied in all of the way down the car... I'm just not that keen on the current flat black on the wheels so some black derivative may be a good shout.

Thanks for all of your inputs guys, I'll post some pics of the finished article when I've decided what to do.

One last comment about Sudesh's pics... I think the white wheels on the R pics look good because the white is tied in with teh R headlights. Otherwsie I think it would look out of place. Generally on a red car I'm not sure white works... the OEM colour of the DC2 ITR wheels for the red cars maybe where I end up.

Cheers,

Luke

I think thats a type-S!

Revert to pop-up headlamps and loose the silly hole in the bonnet and it'd be perfect'er :)

Yes I should add the caveat: perfect, for a late car. :)
