NSX custom floormat/key

[nsx808]

Anyone know where I can get some nice NSX floormats for my car? Also, is there an actual NSX key that I could replace my ugly Acura key with? I would like one like this avatar:

TIA

The cool titanium keys are only for the earsly NSX's (don't know what years). If you've got a little green key light on your instrument panel when you put the key in, then there's a chip in the key that is part of the security system. Only the ugly black Acura keys work :-(

Well I have a 93, so I guess all is good

Try Eric Milam at Niello Acura. 1-800-350-2299. I got my mats for $70 something including shipping within about 2 days. Zanardi mats are the same price. As for the key, you're stuck with ugly black, but they have ones that say NSX on it and looks different than the Integra key!

You are not stuck with the black. You can get the Titanium key at your dealer. My store has plenty.... they're not cheap however. I can't believe that anyone actually drives their early NSX without the 'real' key.

What year did they stop including the Metal Key? I have a 94' and only got the black keys with it. I ended up buying the metal key for around $85 or so.

I recently got a new (ugly) key for my '97, but got an interesting story about the titanium ones from the service manager (who was relieved to see I needed a '97 key):

"Last time we had to make one of those damn metal keys, we went through three blanks ($60 apiece) and two cutting wheels".

I don't know if they just didn't know what they were doing, or if the titanium keys are really that hard to cut!

The key containing the immobilizer chip was introduced in '97. The all-metal key (which is NOT made of titanium, but is indeed hard to cut) will work on all NSX's made before '97 and can be purchased at any dealer.

(I guess nobody wants to bother looking in the FAQ section called NSX Keys, instead of posting guesses and false information, huh?)

Those talking about titanium keys may be thinking of the 300ZX, which did indeed come with one.

The 'titanium' key is for the NSX. It is not made of titanium, rather it is nickel.. However, Acura calls it the Titanium key as a reminder of their use of titanium elsewhere.

I have a friend with an NSX and a 300ZX. He held the keys side by side. Because the Z key is real titanium, it is considerably lighter in weight than the NSX key. It is also a gray color, rather than the straw color of the NSX key.
