I want to get a cover for my baby when she gets out of the shop. I would like to get the acura OEM cover for outside use. Where is the best place to get one? I am also looking for a new shift knob as my 93 is really worn.
Thanks all.

Join the NSX Club of America (you'll need to do that anyway to go to NSXPO 2002) and get your club member discount on Acura parts from Eric Milam at Niello Acura.
BTW, there's not much difference between the OEM car cover and aftermarket car covers, except for the Acura logo silkscreened on the cover. You can probably save a few bucks by going aftermarket. Various vendors are mentioned in this topic.

Ken, I am already part of the NSXCA... you know that..
I'll have to look for the info but somewhere around here I have the number for the guy who makes the covers for some of the big-name mailorder outfits if you don't absolutely need the Acura cover. He has patterns for almost every car and will make modifications if you supply measurements for the big ass wing or whatever.

Sorry about that, Dave.
Hey, did you ever get the body damage fixed? How did it turn out?

I am currently using a Technalon 4 car cover from Covercraft. I bought it from a distributor called TJ Car Covers. They sell all the different varieties of the Covercraft. Their website is http://www.netsweeper.com/carmain.htm
Check it out.
Check it out.
For outdoor use, I think aftermarket covers provide better protection than OEM. I sold my OEM cover, and am happy with the (Technalon) cover I got from Big Sky Car Covers.
What matters is getting the right fabric for your needs. I'm not sure what fabric the OEM cover is made of; I have an OEM cover for my other Acura and it is Technalon, same quality as the aftermarket Technalon cover I have for my NSX.
All of the websites mentioned in that other topic (see link above) have information about the differences among different fabrics to help you choose the fabric that's best for your needs.
Got mine from Beverly Hills Motoring many years ago. Fits great. Has kind of a "bubble-wrap" type feel to it which may offer a bit more scuff protection than the stock oem cover.
Bought mine from the local Acura dealership and it has nice red "NSX" letters on the front.
