Going to keep those seats that color combo?

 

[SUNEDAZ]

The Green looks excellent!!! :biggrin: I can't say much for the 2 tone seats.....

 

[shawn110975]

I think they look like those sheepskin covers

opps maybe not

 

[SaleenS7Rs]

Looks pretty cool to me.

 

[condumbwerkz]

I like it

Its interesting when you look at each panel off the car it matches the verde ithaca green, but when you put the whole car together it looks a little off. I still think it looks hot though.

In the photos the bumpers and side skirts look like a differnt shade and the car doesn't shine. Looks kind of flat and dull. I bet this is from the camera settings.

if i may ask how much did this complete paint job cost you. it looks great

 

[NSXinNC]

Looks like a pearl green, very nice.

 

[jlsnyderNSX]

It looks pretty good, but I would really like to see better pictures...

Well, IMO, the green looks pretty good. The paste is not too over the top but I would still have to get used to it a lil. Overall, I don't think you ned to bother re-doing it, its def an eye turner. Congrats.

And yes, most def lose the 2 tone seats

 

[racinghart]

i really appreciate the comments guys!

as for my seats. if the green is a keeper, im going to change it to all black with maybe some green stitching here and there. =)

From owning a Brookland Green I've got to say that I'm torn. It looks so "pastel" in these photos. Can you arrange for a good photographer to take some photos?

 

[joove]

Having only had silver rims on my cars so far, this advice is probably useless: as my eyes go down the car, top to bottom, the wheel color is what stand out as not belonging. Maybe some photoshop rim color change to black or a darker color ?

Doesn't look bad at all though.

 

[racinghart]

here is the final picture of the car. i will have a professional take pictures of it from a real camera and have it posted soon. i pick up the car today

i have to mention, the camera they are using a a flipphone from verizon! so its a cell phone camera may not do it justice. ill see

 

[Texas91Brent]

I like it too......loose the seat thing.....maybe powder coat the wheels green too

 

[CL65 Captain]

WTF where you thinking?

Looks the same as.... but to each his own. Not my cup a tea.

 

[Soap]

I think it came out pretty well, deffinatly not worth redoing it at all. I think you will come to like it rather quickly :biggrin:

 

[demigod]

I like it.. Looks like the Type-S green.

Also I believe the previous owner is Karl who is also a member here on Prime.

Saw one at 2010 NSXFiesta!

 

[synergy004]

Your Lima Bean looks nice! Did you keep the engine bay the facotry BG color?

 

[LMR]

Aaron,
Looks good but I still liked the original color better, that teal green pearl that turned blue at the right angle was pretty cool.
Now I know why I have not seen you at any of the local events. When you get your car back PM me so we can go for a drive. Steve (Yellowhaze) and I are looking to go on one soon.

I like it. Assuming its a coupe I think it would look better with a black roof.
