Acura 2003 NSX, Owner'S Manual

Page: 237 / 303

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.
Make sure the repair facility uses
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.
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.
