I can see them,thanks for sharing.It seems to me that the "art" or skill of a photographer doesn't need to be as great as it once was.Since the digital age of photographs it's a case of-if you don't like a bit of a photo,change it.Here is an example,one being the original the other being my ham fisted photoshopped version.

Why would you add that large aerial and carpark .. it looked so good with the natural scenery ;)

I wonder what a matte black roof would look like on the NSX?

OK I'm sold!

4 seats will be so much more practical with a baby on the way!

I wonder what a matte black roof would look like on the NSX? Probably give the effect that its got a vinyl roof :laugh:

Thanx for adding the new photos ... having looked at them I really am undecided on the matt finish. I remember that the Ruff 911 tuning firm used to run its demo's in matt finish to put people off buying them.

Anyone know how you would maintain it? I'm wondering about modern wash/wax products that are designed to leave a high gloss, almost wet look. So nothing like the finish on this car ......... :dunno:

If it is any help, I had Red Cross trouble last week at my wife's house. It turned out to be the "Keep Your Child Safe" sofware that didn't allow the pictures through.

If you have some installed, try over-riding the programme and see if that fixes it.

Cheers,

Andy

I actually love the matt black finish but have the same thoughts as Paul on maintaining the finish...

Same here, I like the Matt black finish as it looks different, unlike shiny metallic black and its got hints of dark grey too! The car looks more stealthy & menacing too! Just my 2p :) Paul the oracle, why would the dull colour be difficult to maintain unlike metallic paint to keep the shine?

I am guessing it will be difficult keeping a matt finish, most detailing products are intended to produce a shine :(
