Honda NSX-R - Question

Post by Breza »

Hi All,

The Honda NSX-R has a "lightweight" cloth shift boot instead of the standard vinyl/leather that most cars have.

As pictured here

Anyone know exactly what material it is?

I have done some searching and asked Honda but haven't come up with anything.

I don't think it is something I can go down to Spotlight and pick up. ;)

Cheers

Chris

Yep,

The CF bit I have well under control. :-)

It's the mesh cloth that is attached to it that I am trying to find some more details on.

I did find mention by one keen DIY'er that he used black shade cloth!

Cheers

I could be wrong, but I believe that the type of fabric you're looking for is mentioned in the title of the webpage you sent

"NSX-R mesh shift boot with CF trim" ;)

The best place to start might actually be Spotlight :P Just go in & ask if they have any "Mesh" or "Net" material

& do a google search for "mesh material" or "mesh Fabric" "mesh, net fabric" etc... it sohuld give you some results

Errr, thanks, I think.

Done that, otherwise I wouldn't have posted.

Spotlight seemed to have a lot of dress making mesh and netting but nothing as "heavy" as the stuff in the picture.

Not sure what your local store is like but there seems to be a serious lack of helpful staff in Hobart.

Cheers
