I am very interested you have pm.

Ive been quoted on this forum over £1100 + shipping for that one must be something!

Good deal for someone.

Regarding other cover IMHO the OEM NSX-R is the one to have.

Cheers,

Must be lined with 24 carat gold! I thought you couldn't purchase NSX Type R parts unless you own one or know someone who can supply a chassis number and theres only 3 known ones in the UK.

The one thing they do is allow more dirt to hit the rear hatch. If you want a plexiglass one, why don't you use your OEM one a the basis for it? It will surely be cheaper. Just take it to a paintshop, have them smooth and paint the top any colour you like, have them cut a vent in the desire shape, and fix it with windscreen adhesive.

My engine cover was looked pretty shabby....its almost 20 years old now.... so rather than spend a fortune on shipping one from the states which i liked i had a cabinet maker friend of mine put one together. Colour is not important as of course you can make your own choices but i got mine painted with a two pack copy of the Formula Red R77 on my 1991 Acura. I just need to get the engine dressed properly now...NSX tank cover and all.

Got the red done in a two pack copy of the old R77 Formula Red colour. Window frames / gaskets painted black.

I asked my cabinet maker to make sure we could refit the heat resistant liner material so he made some window frames which he used to secure the material neatly around the window edges.

Fitted the window with some aluminium bolts to dress it. Looks quite nice through the rear view mirror. You could use other colours combinations to your own taste of course.

And then the lights went out! By the time it was assembled back together with rubber seal etc my camera phone was struggling with the bad light -but you can get the idea. I will put a couple on in next few days in daylight outside. Enjoyable exercise and saved myself a few $$$ - just gonna spend a bit of it dressing up engine now i suppose.
