    I think in this match - I really like the silver car more (not because he's a local) but the 17/18 seems to fit better.

    On a side-note have you ever though of going black upper roof? Your GT mirrors are so sick the black roof might flow better?

    I don't even have the mirrors and have been thinking of a black roof just to change things up.

    Nah, I dont think the roof needs to be black to "match" the mirrors. I think it matches great with the other black and CF accents. Going with a black roof is.... well... too predictable.

    lol! I doubt it, but now it's about being stubborn! The black roof were originally meant on the early coupes and the NSX-R, correct? With my car being a targa, I frankly think the car will look weird with black pillars and the targa top removed. I think this is the reason why Honda started to color match the roof/pillars once the targa was released. Someone correct me if I'm wrong with my theory/assumption.

    Secondly, I think some of ya'll are too convincved that dark side mirrors need a black roof. This is what I call the NSX-R Bias. I think the CF mirrors can be pulled off with other accent pieces. So I'm sticking with keeping the mirrors unpainted and CF. It looks fantastic IMHO.

    I agree, but something about the black roof targa or non targa. I think your car looks amazing don't get me wrong. And the fact that you haven't done the black roof make it stand apart a bit as well.

    But IMO the NSX looks like a fighter jet and with the roof being black it just lets the glass all blend in that much better.

    2 different styles, both look awesome

    911 Styling is very much different from the NSX but I like the fact that you're fighting til the end!! hahaha
