Body Repairs - Acura 1991 NSX Owner's Manual

Main Menu
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. 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.

Body Repairs

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.
