Just a few questions. Just bought my first nsx.

I just bought a 2000 nsx and figured you guys could help me out.

Would a car cover and floor mats from 02+ nsx fit a 2000?

What is the best front rotor upgrade option?

Is there any advantage other than appearance to 18-19 in. wheels vs. the stock 17-18 in. wheels?

The Mats should fit, if anything changed it would be that little hook on the floor board not being there to hold the mat in place, but that won't keep you from putting the floor mat in. Car Covers will fit regardless. Check out NSXPrime for info a lot of stuff there about wheels and brakes.

Mats will fit and so will the cover. As far as the wheels go the stock size is 16"/17" and will perform much better than the 18"/19"(only for look) which I use to run on my NSX. I felt that 17"/18" is your best option for looks and performance. I really loved the ride of my 17"/18", cant go wrong with these sizes!

+1. 18/19 is too big and too heavy unless you shell out huge bucks. Too little sidewall unless you drive on glass-smooth roads. 17/18 looks great and the performance compromise is minimal.

WP Pro seem to be the hot new item as far as brakes are concerned. You can get a beautiful 6pot caliper for about 2300 an axle. Or if you have the clearance then you cannot go wrong with Stoptechs!

brembo for that oem look

stoptech are a bit bigger than brembo, which might limit your wheel options

im running 18/19 which imo looks good.

Best rotor upgrade will be better cooler. Replace the stock air deflector with aftermarket will make the rotors run cooler, which will improving brake durability, life and decreasing brake fade.
