From my understanding,
All 1991 to 2001 coupes were "two tone"
Targas had body colored top half; but the "targa" section itself, came in black and was painted to body color by most dealers/owners
2002 onwards cars were all body colored [apart from NSX-R]
transmission type had nothing to do with body color.
According to http://www.nsxprime.com/wiki/Changes_by_Year
1995
Roofs now all body colored
1997
Coupes can be special ordered with either a black top or a body color top; -Ts still have body colored roofs
Although of course the US market was different and looks like coupes were dropped from 1995 and then special order afterwards? I Don't know if this info bares any similarities to the UK
My old 2000 MY car was "one tone"Quote:

My 1999 is one colour tone if that helps? So does this mean it was special order?
Well that really throws it all up in the air lol
I have seen late coupes with back roof and some with colored roofs; I guess at some stage it may have been an option or "no cost option"?
"Nick Graves" NSX is a late 2000 model, and has black roof. I almost sure I have pics in my archive of 2001 cars with black also.
This a polular debate amongst Forum members. My vote is for the two colour. I think the original NSX concept of a black roof to echo the fighter plane cockpit still works. The photo on the cover the Brian Long NSX book is the definitive NSX look which I was originally attracted to.
Just my 2p worth

Nope.As i said earlier it actually feels different to normal paintwork,it feels like an old style vinyl roof, whereas the one colour cars look like a coupe.Quote:
