Talking Finally, official (PICS) of Bat's '97 Monte Carlo Blue NSX

Finally took some time to stop driving it, and take some pictures of my '97 MCB with 12k origional miles . I have to say, I'm liking this one more than my '02 and '05 Long Beach Blue Pearl . So far, I've added Bilstein Shocks, H&R 25mm spacers, nsx-r shift knob and short throw shifter. I also purchased a new a factory cd changer from ebay for $99! dealer wants $700.00. I'm having the center console done in MCB, and will eventually change the carpets and seat centers to black or dark blue. Working on getting a new set of 5 spoke wheels as well, 02 real valence upgrade and dowforce rear diffuser, and downforce sideskirts . Oh! Comptech Supercharger down the road as well . In the meantime, enjoy the current pics!

Best of luck with it. It's a true classic.

looks AMAZING! 97-01 has always been my favorite NSX body style, 6-speed with the classic hideaway headlights. Still, I'd be anxious about doing any mods to a car with such low mileage. I'm in the crowd that feels that cars are meant to be driven, but still... I don't think I've ever seen that color on an NSX, unless you count Gran Turismo.

Love the rear on the 02+ though. Whatever you do with it, enjoy.

so what public school are you teaching in where you are pulling up in a GTR or NSX?

the only teacher ive seen that drove exotics ended up being a gay two-time sex offender and child molester. no one understood his background, his money, or his sexuality. then he sold his exotics and blew his inheritance to cover his legal fees.

true story. he was arrested outside of my 4th grade class and went off to prison...twice...

"Their children adored him, calling him "Mr. Nebs" and scrambling to ride in one of his fancy cars, or be taken to McDonald's for lunch as a reward for a perfect score on a spelling test. "
