We refreshed the interior of our NSX with NSX-R style looped carpet from NSXcarpets.com
It’s pretty crazy to think that the carpet in our NSX is nearly 30 years old. While it was in decent shape for its age, I have been quite fond of the NSX-R style looped carpet ever since I drove the infamous and mythical Spoon NSX-R GT. Thankfully, NSXcarpet.com offers this carpet already contoured and molded to the floor pattern of the NSX! We were excited to get this in our car.
The Spoon NSX-R GT is rumored to be one of 5 cars built for homologation purposes to give the NSX an advantage in the Super GT series. While it was an honor and quite special to drive this car, our Project NSX is going to have far more technology and performance incorporated into it than the NSX-R GT. But it was important to have at least a similar aura of materials and feel.
The factory NSX carpet features dense, cut strands, and is very common in the interior of cars.
The carpet is greyer in color than the jet-black carpet that we are going to replace it with.
The factory carpet is clean, but pretty boring in character.
This will be the last time we see the factory carpet in the car.

Beautiful job! It’s little details like this that make a big difference in the end.
Thank you. That is true!
