Congrats, one of my dream cars and I also prefer the pop up headlights.

I also prefer the pop up headlights. As a kid, I thought they were the coolest thing ever.

I'm surprised that most of you guys prefer them over the new headlights.

Wow Wow Wow a black NSX. I love this car. NSX and S2000 are my top two most favorite discontinued cars. Show more pictures after your modifications please.

Sometimes I think Acura could have just kept selling the NSX through today with just little updates every few years.

I still think it looks awesome. Congrats!!!!!!

Congrats on the pick up.

Just goes to show that homework, hard work and patience can eventually find you exactly what you're looking for.

funny how some people don't know how to appreciate different cars, including the nsx. it's one of the most respected japanese sports car among most enthusiasts, including true exotic owners. i was talking to bunch of exotic owners, one has a nsx with slight mods and one with lp640. they were talking about how the nsx totally hung with the lp640 on freeway and owner of lp640 was totally impressed. nsx is one super fine machine.

Yeah, NSX is wayyyy overrated. I don't know why people go ga-ga for something soooo old and slow.

OP must be crazy to buy a 15 year old car that is slower and with less horsepower than most of today's car.
He could've bought himself an EVO, or STi, genesis coupe, C6 or any of the used-> CL55, SL55amg, M5, or E55 amg with close to 500hp and carry 4 people comfortably. Can't believe OP don't know how to spend his money wisely.
Or he could've waited to get the FT-86, that one is cool too.

By the way, what's worst is auto is only rated at 252
Man, OP must feel bad now huh?

Yeah, just messing with those who don't like the NSX-I'm not offended.

You gotta love the NSX to buy something this old and overrated.

Thanks Henry.
To see it is one thing, but to sit in it and drive it is also another experience.
This is not for everyone. It's not perfect in any way for everyone.

This feels almost like the LFA value thread, except the NSX price is only 10% of an LFA-try putting that into perspective

Thank you again everyone for the congrats

I don't use it as a DD. I'm still on stock suspension so even though it's firm, it's not rough at all.
Some do, but this is my weekend car.

I'll post more updated pictures when I have the mods coming in.

Nice pickup. Watch out for those kiddie toys - and the little car scrapers / finger printers / drink spillers that go with them. Also watch out for those cabinets beside the car and anything you may have stored on top of them. I've read too many threads on different forums about folks with really nice cars that had something fall on the car from inside or on top of a storage cabinet.

Have you sought professional help for referring to the OP in the 3rd person? LOL

Talking Congrats!

Impressed that you found an automatic. I had to get a manual, which forced me to learn how to drive a 5-speed ... which is a good thing, I guess. Hope you enjoy it & remember to climb out of it acrobatically w/out rubbing on the side bolsters too much bc they do wear out ...
