anyone can do this. picked it up from a diecast message board. take a picture of your own license plates or troll ebay for a picture of a set of plates you like and print them out on a color printer to appropriate scale. use scotch tape to laminate, cut them out and use glue stick to attach

I've seen lots of people in Wilkinsons ask to see AutoArt models and not buy them so probably they flipped it open for someone that's all. Perhaps they were checking the seat error? Does it have it?
Do they have either the silver or black non R versions for sale?

I checked the one myself today. So it was just opened by Ross. I don't think they have any autoart nsx in stock now.

Yeah I picked it up from the back wall around 4pm...#1661 yes it had the certificate/brochure. So this one was sealed before you checked it out? Quote:

The paint is fine and everything opened okay. Actually I was bummed that the front hood didn't stay opened the whole way...then a wild hood prop appeared  . Couldn't tell you about if other NSXs were in stock...it looked like all the AA signatures were scattered around the store...I was literally in and out but I knew the Lexus LS and Mac 12C was still available when I left.

| Yea it was sealed when I looked at it. The right rear bottom of the tail light there is a little blemish. The thumb print on the roof would be Ross's.

Do they have either the silver or black non R versions for sale? | there used to be a white type-r in the display case. it's possible it was this one.
when i was there i only saw the (now sold) two white ones. the inventory list on their website is fairly current if you need to confirm availability.

wait what the nsx-r was on sale?!! i thought the newsletter said new items weren't part of the sale and sale prices would be shown on the site (which it wasn't)...now they're all out sigh i guess that's what i get for not going in person.
nice pick up guys!

from what i recall they said 30% off everything in inventory that is older than a certain date (december 2014?). anything after that, special order, or consignment was not on sale... those type-r's have been on the shelf for more than 1-2 years i think?

it said new inventory Dec 1 and that the prices would be reflected on the site if there was a sale on the item. they ran out of nsx-r's before so i thought restocking would be considered "new". oh well you snooze you lose.
