I used to have a simple and (relatively) inexpensive silver/gray, unlined reflective canopy cover with straps, for a MR2-Spyder which also worked on an NSX and 911 Targa. It had some elastic and velcro straps, and its own storage-bag. I'm fairly sure I got it at some discount department store...

Seems like it'll be a show-&-display "import" for USDM. Styling is a bit tame (relative to the market segment), it's a rather overdue, but underneath the skin it'll likely be incomparable (actual F1 powerplant). Aston's Valkyrie with its Cosworth-sourced 6.5L 11.1k-redline hybrid seems like the...

Well, asking for a friend- so... :p Great to hear of the positive multiple experiences! I'll reach-out, hoping James does center-bending/at-the-hub. Not FUBAR, but a wobble... :D

Appreciative of the recommendations, all duly noted & I'll get on it! Thanks, again... :biggrin:

There's a near-identical variant, a non-OEM accessory / generic, I've used for a 3rd gen. MR2-Spyder in the household. Good for dust, leaves, pollen, and occasional light rainfall. Fit the NSX canopy as well. It was ~$10... I believe the search criteria online was, "half cover" and...

Just throwing this out there... Anyone skilled/experienced to do "major" wheel-repairs? As-in: Advan AVS Model 5's (17x7, 17x9) with minor outer rim bend(s) and (likely) slightly center-bend at the hub, their rotational balance is off. I've had the usual wheel repair/refurb services look at...

I really like the Orchid interior too, and a concern of mine was similar: how the light colored leather seats & trim would age (especially seeing such over the years in '91-'05 NSX'es with the Ivory & like interiors). Depending on frequency of usage, a quality synthetic seat-cover could...

Aye carumba... I was in Oyster Bay area that weekend wandering & meandering. Serves me right for not checking Prime, d'oh! Looked like a great event... :cool: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's tough to get the mid-engine sub-exotic form-factor to look reasonably good and not stubby and awkward. The Elise, 4C, and recent MR-S all have/had a common shape, which had its appeal to some but not all. Whereas the 458, 12C, Gallardo “package” seems to be visually optimal for mid-engine...

Cool share, luck you. Just a paper-weight type of display model or an USB flashdrive? I got nada NSX-v2.0 paraphernalia in the two auto-shows that had it for viewing (Geneve, NYC). Grrr... :D

The analog/mechanical "feel" and experience of the 993 is perhaps the hallmark for many, but personally speaking, I'm more into the 930/964 and 997/991; former has more character and the latter more technology. Obviously, I'm one (of the few) in the swim-lane against the current/tide...

The new(er) generations of the 4Runner and Land Cruiser are... styling nightmares (IMVHO)! Interestingly the larger 'Yota-utes have become odd designs, whereas the smaller ones (RAV4, Highlander) are rather stylish and chic. Nothing compares to an ol' school '90s/'00s Land Cruiser. Only thing...

One less blue NSX makes me blue! :o Being a '97+ there's some inherent value in it, seems like a rebuild would have to be a labor-of-love and/or a different front-clip from a donor NSX. Then again, breached cabin with A-pillar and roof damage... no idea on the repair! Perhaps a reinforced...

I believe that's the name-of-the-game with regards to Formula Red (R-77) vs. New Formula Red (R-510), the former being a tri-coat/dual-stage finish and the latter being a dual-coat/single-stage finish. And another idio'NSX tid-bit... MY99 NSX models had both, in that '99 NSX coupe/T was...
