I just got my car back from being repainted on the front hood and bumper. While I was at it the spoiler that gets scraped up on steep drive ways- I had replaced and painted the same color as the body. Brooklands green. Looks as if it should have always been painted. Almost looks like it is lowered. Anybody else painted theirs?

Painted front spoiler to match the body

I'm just wandering how the paint on the scrape guard would hold-up once it rubs the ground??
Noticed that you are in ATL. I'm in Montgomery, AL area and my friend Lee is in Birmingham, AL Area. We've been looking for other members to hook-up with on some weekends. Are you interested? Are their other NSXsters that would be interested? All I've been doing is going to the local drag strip and hanging out with my camaro buddies (from work).

I purposly did not paint the front spoiler being the black is much more forgiving.On my car it would get scratched and I'd be unhappy that i painted it .I know it must look great.Good luck and remember no front wheel stands.ha...

)

ps: also the rear license plate holder has been painted (in Euro models it is different than in the US cars...)

I also found out that the Brookland Green is a hard color to match up . It takes 3 coats.I've decided not to fret about it getting scraped- it's my daily driver and I think I know where most of the low spots are on my drives.

You missed a spot -- the rear center piece (covers the exhaust canister).
Wasn't it too much? I really tought much about painting it... but I still am not sure that it would look better (only different...)...
I tried to leave the car in a tasteful stock look...

Here's what it might look like (sans the non-stock rear lower corners)

I think paint matching both the front and rear (deck?) looks great! Tinos red NSX had the same thing done and it looks very clean.
Nows that's one of the better pics I've seen. Is that a WW wing?
I think that the front it is a must to paint but the rear should stay black even after Wings west body kit. It gives the car a style and looks. Look at M3 and other sports cars for some reason they make the middle lower part black on the rear bumper cover.
Thanks... the wing is made by Wings West for Comptech, sold as the "Aggressor" model.
Interesting - I agree the lip and rear's look better painted. Went out to paint mine but realized my car is black

I thought they spelled it "Aggriceor".

I still am not sure about painting the lower part silver too... nsx1164's car is very good but it is everything you want but far from stock
so the result on my car would be quite different.
On a red: sorry, but I do not like it that much...
it is simply "too red" and also looks quite aftermarket imho...
As you may see in my photos, Euro models have a different rear bumper (with a strange frame around the number plate)... I did quite a lot of photoshopping before deciding what to paint and what not and I am very happy now!
