I need to know if I should paint the top of my NSX black or leave it the body color (pure white). Tell me what you think.

I like the black roof cars!
I'd go with a black roof and a carbon hood and wing.
:p

I'm doing mine (Avex/Mugen NSX) with metalic orange body and blue roof/hood/rear deck.

I say do it my way. Paint it black, or if you can, do the hood, roof, and wing in carbon fiber.

The car was designed to have a black top... It looks better like that! But if you built it race-style (rear wing), all white would be better, I feel (a question of visual balance).
But don't pay attention to what we say: do it the way YOU want!

I just finished my NSX, white with black roof, gunmetal TE37's. I'll post pics later. But, however you build it, build it how you like.

Just FYI, NSXs all came from the factory with a black-painted roof from September 1990 until 1994. In 1994, for green cars only, the rooves were color-matched. In 1995, all colors were color matched.

A black roof became an option again, available on all colors, in the Japanese market after the facelift change in 2003.

So, are you making a pre-'95 or post-'02 car?

:2cents: IMO, black roof on a white car, especially on a car with as much greenhouse glass as the NSX, is sweeeeet. :2cents:

I've been pretty meh about Honda lately, especially since my Civic was stolen, but I will ALWAYS love the NSX.

i think white will bring out the cuts more. However, a purple one is awsome.

i voted for matching the bodycolor. look at your sig.. could you change a thing on that beauty?? :lol:

I think the black top only looks good w/ very specific application. maybe on something like what vegetta described.. that sounds like it would look good, but not on your white one IMO

here's mine

I have really... really ... bad news. My nsx project is called off because my stupid a** little cousin steped on the body and then broke the chasis. He threw away most of the parts and there is no way i can get them back. Im soo pissed right now i could kill him. btw this was all on purpose.
