I haven't read all the posts but I gonna sa y it even if its already been covered.....you gotta put on a nice set of 19's with a slight drop. I wouldn't do a lot but I would definitely put on a front splitter and rear diffuser.
I'd prolly paint the roof black then call it a day for the outside.

Next, I'd modernize the electronics, do some black wood or carbon fiber touches to the dash and console definitely some black floormats. Might even do some black center to the seats. That white is going to be a pain to keep clean.

Well, thats my vision for this beauty. I'm sure you have your own. Have fun with her.

Awesome. I'm so glad you finally were able to get one, White/White is a super rare car. If you ever think of selling it let me know. I'm putting my current NSX up for sale soon to jump into an NA2 and possibly an 02+ myself.

thanks again everyone. one thing for sure i need to tone down on my driving more. it's not like i want to drive aggressively, but knowing how capable the car is, i just tend to drive "more" and "more"...

thanks chris! yes, remember it was 04 when we first met and how much i love your car? gosh, been so long already. if you look at my prime account, it was first setup in 04!!! i drove the NA1 and now i have the NA2, NA2 is quite a bit faster and i think it's a lot more fun to drive. i don't know if it's the 96 i drove or what, but clutch on that was funny, engagement point very high up. mine feels more natural.

Congrats Henry, nice find!

I don't know if I told you, I loved the NSX from the bottom of my heart, I was a huge fan (who doesn't, I think most real car enthusiast love the NSX). I even went to the NSX Fiesta in Suzuka in 2001 when Shigehara Uehara personally unveiled the NA2 NSX-R in a private party. If you truely love the NSX, go to one of these NSX Fiesta that they have every year, it is a lot of fun!

http://www.nsxcj.com/e_fiesta01.htm

Too bad this NSX never quite fit my needs in all phases of my life so far, like right now I can't give up the power top of my SC430 for the manual panel on the NSX. Thanks to my friend who had one, I had extensive seat time on the street and the track, so in a way I felt like I actually owned one.

Enjoy it for me, it is a fantastic car

Definitely a good time to get into one, as it is looking like the next NSX won't be anywhere as cool as the original one.

The car looks amazing in white. I've never seen a newer white NSX before so it definitely must be rare.

The NSX is the only car I totally missed after selling and had to buy another one. I ended up selling my white one and last year bought a Berlina Black just to get back in the game. Now I'm about ready to sell this one and move into an NA2. I really love the Coupe and manual steering though so I'm torn. I drove a Long Beach Blue 02 and it was great, but I did miss the manual steering on the early NA1s. I can live with it though. My NA1 has a lot of the 02 cosmetic updates already. My friend had an 05 White/Camel, but White/White is a super rare bird.
