Well, not to be outdone by Ken, here is my vote:

2001/2002 Front, Leaning towards 2001:

2001 Modified Side:

2002 Modified Rear:

I'll take mine CTSC'd, in Monaco Blue/Onyx, without the targa, and with a black top and 6 speed pleeeeeeze.

Very clever Markbert! Looks good - that front would be a good choice if it were available!

nsxtasy - I thought you would catch my preference from my avatar (hence my attempt at humour) - to cast an official vote & be counted, please put me under pre-'02 front & '02 rear.

 

[NeoNSX]

nsxtacy: I'm actually on the borderline of prefering the '02 rear... but keep my vote as the '01 rear.

comments i'd like to mention about the '02 rear is:

- Circle Indicators... don't they look funny when working?
- the large corny 'A' Acura logo.
- the round exhausts. i like the '02 exhausts more than the '01 because the silver ring on their tip defines them better. But the '91 fat oval exhausts get my vote.

- the piece of yellow at the bottom of the '02 spoiler is nice; though likely to get dirty/scratched.

feel free to disagree...

I like what Markbert came up with

Im not crazy about the 02 headlights, but I'd still cast my vote for the 02 front overall.

On the rear, it's closer. I think I prefer the old-style rear though. Also, I definitely prefer the old-style side skirts.

Oh, and I saw a comment that the 02's get more attention at "all the shows". I think that probably has more to do with them being a new model than anything else. To be honest, at shows, no bone stock car is really all that interesting. At import shows, I'm looking around for MYNSX or JZ

Here is my creation, its not that great but I hope it works.

Please tell me what you think about it and remember it is not the best thing that i could do since I'm an amateur in this program.

Raven, both pics look the same to me. What did you change?

 

[NeoNSX]

midnight changed the rear in the above two pix.

Serious, i see... you've give the NSX a defined front bumper...minor reflections on the bumper under the headlights.

nice photoshop work btw.

Low HP/torque is no problem for the NSX when you break the rules of the <FONT COLOR=darkgreen>matrix</FONT>

buy a used '91-94 and drive the crap out of it. The original 3000lb coupe w/o power steering is the way the NSX was meant to be.
You can do ~ 200 lb weight reduction and have even more fun.

 

[Midnight_Raven]

what I did, was that I took the two front bump thing out and I pushed in the front bumper in like about an inch. Making have kind of the look that that pre 02 models had but still have the 02 model look at the same time.

If you can't see the picture just right click picture, go to properties, and then take the URL thing and put it as a web address. Then you should be able to use it. This is for the people who can't see the picture.

Hey I had to basically erase the whole bottom part of the front bumper to do that so that is why it has no reflection on it I still dont know how to work with this paintshop pro 7 program. but it is pretty descent.

 

[NeoNSX]

paintshop pro 7 is cool, but i think photoshop might have been better for cloning that + reflections. that's my personal opinion. but i think u did a good job, Raven (or do u prefer being called Midnight? or MR?

)

[Midnight_Raven]

You can call me anything I don't get bothered with any name that is given to me. My sister's boyfriend calls me hichcock (don't know how to spell) and my other friend calls me Rafel and those aren't even my real name.

 

[NeoNSX]

I think you mean Hitchcock... he's a legendary film-maker.

Hey midnight... i understand with ur name prob. i keep getting called "Mr.Anderson" which makes me mad coz i keep correcting everyone... MY NAME IS NEO...

...err..directing the topic back to NSX chat... anyone else prefer the bumper job midnight did on the 2002 NSX?

It seems I may be the first to say I like both the Front and Back ends of the '02 best. I've had both and when they are put next to each other, in my opinion the earlier version looks dated.
