Inspect and clean out the drain
holes in the bottom of the doors
and body.
Check the floor coverings for
dampness. Carpeting and floor
mats may remain damp for a long
time, especially in winter. This
dampness can eventually cause the
floor panels to corrode.
Use a high-pressure spray to clean
the underside of your car. This is
especially important in areas that
use road salt in winter. It is also a
good idea in humid climates and
areas subject to salt air. Be careful
of the ABS sensors and wiring at
each wheel.
Have the corrosion-preventive
coatings on the underside of your
car inspected and repaired periodi-
cally.

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.
Acura recognizes the uniqueness of
the NSX. Many dealers and other
body repair facilities have been given
the special training and equipment
needed to do professional repairs on
your car. If your NSX ever needs
body repair, contact the Acura
Customer Relations Office for the
location of a facility near you.
Repair facilities approved by Acura
will use genuine replacement body
parts. That may not be the case if you
take your car somewhere else. Make
sure the replacement body parts are
genuine Acura body parts.
Corrosion Protection, Body Repairs
Some companies make parts that
seem to duplicate the original Acura
body parts, but are inferior in fit,
finish, and quality. In our experience,
these parts do not fit as well and do
not have as high a level of corrosion
resistance.
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 re-
placed or repaired body parts and
whether corrosion-prevention mea-
sures were used during the repair,
take the car to your Acura dealer for
inspection.
