The NSX Club of America offers various items for sale with the club's logo. These appear in NSX Driver as well as on the club's website here.

We are considering changes to the products we offer in our next catalog, which will be available at NSXPO 2003. We would like to add some exciting new products. If you have any ideas and suggestions for items you would like us to carry, please PM me to pass them along.
 
I would LOVE to have an NSXCA License Plate frame for my NSX!!!

Also, how about a FlexFit(r) NSXCA Baseball Cap... I don't like the normal caps that have the velcro, or adjustable straps... I want FlexFit! :) I want this stretch-to-fit cap in blue!

This would be great in a cast metal frame such as: brass or chrome and not cheap plastic.
 
Awesome! I can't wait! I've been looking for a nice plate frame... and hopefully this will be it.

I'm hoping it will just be the NSXCA logo (in nice colors) and not too much writing... It'd be nice to also have a version that has something on both the top and bottom...
 
Well, I was going to include a link to NSXPrime merchandise because we have a very nice license plate frame with the top saying "NSXPrime" and the bottom saying "My other car is irrelavent", but I cannot find the link. Are they no longer available?
 
A few other possibilities...

- collapsible sunshade (for windshield / dash) with "NSXCA" logo visible from outside -- good for event parking, also great for use in car shows

- nametag (pin-on) with logo... similar to those done by other marque clubs (BMWCCA, PCA, etc)
 
I haven't seen my NSXCA outside app sticker yet ;), but I know from shopping college bookstores that there are several formats for adhering stickers. My favorites are the outside-app "graphic cut" style which actually separates the logo into many small stickers (gives a very clean look), and the vinyl inside/outside app "no glue" style that lets you place the sticker almost anywhere without worry about glue residue. I would like to have both options available for our club sticker.... Making a somewhat larger version of either one may work for nsx1164's idea for the sunshade as well.

What else? Umbrellas, vinyl track chairs, key fobs, car covers... All of these would look good with a nicely colored NSXCA logo on them. :)
 
Several people here have asked about getting quality license plate frames. Suppose we made these available, in a nice heavy weight rustproof metal in a variety of finishes.

Let's say we offered any of these for around $30 plus shipping:

- satin textured (brushed silvery metal)
- polished metal (chrome look)
- powder coated black (flat black)
- black pearl (gloss black)

Which finish would you choose?

Would anyone prefer a carbon fiber look frame if it were available but at a higher price, say around $45 plus shipping?

This looks like a poll question! :D

I'd pick black pearl, but to me, any of them would look nice.

I second that! The type that are two rectangular sun shades... they call it the "Magic Shade" made by Axius. See:

http://www.axius.com/html/products/shades/shades_fabric.htm

I don't really like all the other type of sun shades (the rolled up type, the fan type, etc). They take too much space. The ones made by Axius folds flat. Perfect for the tight interior of the NSX.

I'd like the polished metal, and then the satin textured finish. I'd probably buy both. CF doesn't do it for me.

Looks like the boys in the black NSXs like the black pearl look. If I had a black NSX... I'd pick the same thing.

what would the "NSXCA" logo be in? Red? Chrome? Silver? (Another poll? )

I like the current NSXCA color scheme. Depending on the color of the plate, I'm sure they can pick a good color combo.

I can't wait!

Assuming these are the same ones you can find at Costco or Target or similar places, I use them on my RL but you really get what you pay for ........ their quality is average at best and occasionally the metal that gives it the circular shape will pop out from the seem so you need to be careful; and the rubber that holds it when folded weakens after some use ........... but very space efficient. As to how much heat they refelct, I doubt their efficacy given how thin the fabric is .......

The rolled type has much more UV and heat reflective qualities but does take more space.

As for logo, the best option on these is to use a decal with a good adhesive that will not leak from the heat. Silk screening will cost too much for purposes of retail and you can't embroider on either type as the fabric will not hold the stitching.


Disclosure: KHrant Enterprises offers the rolled type sunshades with that reflective finish to them made of "incredibly reflective closed sdell foam material that can prevent heat buildup by as much as forty degrees." We offer one specifically customize to fit the NSX and comes with lifetime warranty.

Other companies offer similar products as well. But they have been a slow mover for the NSX ........

Do you have a link to a page that better describes/illustrates your product? Does it come with NSX / NSXCA / NSXPO logos ?? :D

Based on the thread title, I'd expect it to say "NSXCA". I think that makes it easier for them to get approval from Acura/Honda to sell the stuff. I think it's a whole different ball game if it says only "NSX". :(

You can always get an NSX sticker of your color choice to match your NSX, and stick it on ....... heck, I have a few extra ones all in black (perfect for the rear center lense) and I can toss one with each .......... :D

I will provide pictures tomorrow. As I said they are not unique and most likely your local Acura dealer carries them for other models as well.

None of the above? How about one in gunmetal? This is a very popular color these days.

As for other items, how a knit sports shirt in a solid color? And how about shirts with the logo in an alternate locations to the left chest? Say, left front or middle rear collar? What about a shirt with a racing stripe down the left side with the logo embroidered within that?

Same concepts on the caps, give us alternate logo locations please... :) Also cap styles, including traditional baseball, and low-profile. Some ppl might also like visors.
 
This may be too late to add for this year, but how about a nice wall calendar with a new picture for each month. Each club charter could have a month and pick the picture they wanted, or each month may be a differnet year and color.

Just for an example, one of the racing orgs. I was part of at one time put two kinds out each year. One was a poster of the calendar year, with pictures of the race teams, and was paid for by selling space to sponsors or vendors. These would be handed out at the races. (This probably isn't ideal for this kind of thing)

The other calendar was a 12 month with a differnet picture each month of each car that had finished in the top 12 in points from the year before, and these were sold for I think $12.00 each, and again space was sold to vendors and/or sponsor to help cover the costs.

Anyway, just a suggestion. Would sure beat some of the gastly things we have hanging around here now!

Later
