Body Repairs

Body Repairs

The entire body and undercarriage

of your NSX is made of aluminum.

Aluminum has different properties
than steel, so special techniques are

required to do successful body repair.

It is recommended that you choose a
body shop experienced in repairing
an aluminum body. Contact your

Acura dealer for recommendations.

Make sure the repair facility uses
Genuine Acura replacement body
parts. Some companies make sheet
metal pieces that seem to duplicate
the original Acura body parts, but
are actually inferior in fit, finish, and
corrosion resistance. Once installed,

they do not give the same high-

quality appearance.

Inspect areas of the body that have
been repaired rather than replaced.

Try to look at the inside surfaces.

Make sure the repair included
reapplication of corrosion-preventive
coatings. Bare metal corrodes very
fast.

If you have any doubts about
replaced or repaired body parts and

whether corrosion-prevention

measures were used during the
repair, take the car to your Acura
dealer for inspection.
