Always one :P

[jaxx]

damn!

someones been taking photos in my garage again

[Bibbs]

don't like the kit or the rims .. but I'd have it in an instant.

[alanbradley]

That's not the new NSX, that's a current style one with pseudo-Lambo doors and an OTT bodykit. Horrible wheels too (imho!).

Possibly a Type-R, but surely it would be cooler to keep it in its stock white?

[Rookey]

Ah, i just thought it was the newest one because it doesn't have the pop up lights...

[alanbradley]

No, unfortunately they seem to have done away with the pop-ups on the current one. The next version is much "edgier" if you know what I mean...

[Firthy]

Personally i think it looks mint

[jaxx]

pop ups are illegal these days (on new cars obviously)

Dont think thats true jaxx. The thing is you need to engineer bracketry to mount the lights thats strong enough to keep the lamps stable but soft enough to allow the lamp to be easily deflected in the event of a pedestrian impact. The main reason they've gone out of fashion is that they are much more expensive than fixed lamps and they tend to spoil the look and more importantly the airflow. Don't know how true it is but I read somewhere that the 2 is 10 to 15mph slower with the lights up.

[jaxx]

can agree with the extra drag

i thought they were deemed illegal due to the pedestrian thing, but your explanation seems highly viable
