The black roof does make it look a little more dated, but for me that is how the NSX looks - so my personal taste prefers the black roof (and it does make it look lower).

I had never really thought about it before, but at what stage did Honda start producing the NSX in a single body colour?
Was it always an option - I can't recall seeing any early cars in single colour?
Y1 is a single colour....I don't recall seeing many other pre-facelift cars finished like this (though there was an all red car for sale in the Midlands 4 or 5 years ago, about the time I was looking around)
Gratuitous photo opportunity......
That might have been T1 NSX which was a red NA2 previously owned and written off by a chap called Clive occasionally on here! It was sold subsequent to his £30K+ repair bill - and was at a performance car garage near Hagley about 4 years ago!Quote:

Weren't all autos and targas single colour?
I think the black roof became an option rather than standard with th NA2 coupés in late 1997 and most late pop-ups are single colour.
W.R.T the 599GTO, I've never been a fan of the 599 shape and the to my eyes the black roof doesn't help it... Love those wheels though :) IMHO black roofs on front engined coupés make them look like convertibles with the roof up. The rear window of the NSX helps it avoid that particular look :)

Single colour cars were available from day one.
The only problem was that you had to buy a black one....
That is not a problem!
....substitute 'problem' for 'proviso'...:)Quote:

Not all T-tops were body coloured.I had a 96 T-top and it had a sort of black vinyl roof on it which was a factory option
TQO, I thought T1 NSX was owned by Ary?
Red cars looks Rad. From the front it suits red roof. But from the side and the rear the black roof suits it more. So either way still a stunning car.
Do the mirrors too
