Warping?

[pok8rok8]

Is there a handfull of you guys who have the same problem as I do? The front bumper on either side of the the headlight is indented somewhat and it doesnt look solidly straight.

I thougth that maybe I was the only one with a problem but I stumbled upon another car like mine black at a mall and I checked his car out to, and he had the same problem as I have.

I have posted the very same message some time ago. I noticed it most when the car had been sitting in the sun for awhile and the plastic bumper was warm. I have a dark Green color and I beleive it's a common thing with dark colored NSX's.

I see......Yeah I noticed the light coloured cars dont have that....so i guess there is not fix for this other than just drive it out at night...hehee

Hmmn...interesting, I noticed this immeadiately after the front bumper had been repaired after a minor scuff. The body shop had replaced it with new "OEM part." Bringing this to their attention, we had them replace it again, but with a "Genuine Honda part" this time. Afterwards the problem went away.

I noticed this on my Black car two years ago, at an NSXCA event. After inspection of the 20 or so cars at the event the dark cars sagged a lot, but the Silver,White, even the Spa Yellow cars were OK, if just a little sagged.

Funny, it was also after just after having the nose repainted, but I think I was looking at it more!! All the Black cars at this event had the same issue.

I think you could put a styrofoam support under there to solve it, but never found the time to make one.

I guess its one way to find out weather the car has been painted or not. I thought it looked wierd and I dont even know if it could be fixed. Too bad its not a defect and warranted I would like a new bumper and paint job

I saw a couple of red ones with this problem too.
I checked mine but nothing...whew!

Look at your car when it's not hot out - early morning, for example - and I think you'll find it's fine...

My black NSX, whose nose was painted (and replaced, for all I know) by the previous owner, also has this problem. I always figured someone had leaned on it or something.

I do not think it has anything to do with repainting or not, it just gets soft in the bright sun.

Really? That doesn't seem like up to exotic car standards, if you ask me. Any other car out there that does this?
