I think a color closer towards the original red bussards would look better. Remember, the nacelles are still meant to be "ENT-era tech" while still being a step towards TOS-era.

Yeah, definitely make them red or redder.

Left bussard (new one) looks a lot better. In my opinion. :P

That one does look good. Can you do a combination of both bussard textures, and can you texture this last area? It looks a little plain. (see pic)

I'm in agreement with both Dalek and WileyCoyote. Perhaps include multiple bussard styles? Let the user decide :)

Absolutely Gorgeous.  Perhaps you could use both Bussards?  One can be the NX-01 and the other could be the NX-02?

The red bussard definatly looks more appealing.

God, were starting to sound like a broken record (always repeating the same thing, lol).  :P

I like the original..red is so so common  :funny  I like the original primarily based on the color scheme of the vessel it doesn't detract from the ship and its a nice change.

knocked this little test film up.

I have added orange bussards as I'm not a fan of the red ones but the BC release will be red

i agree friend... i didn't like the red ones either... the original ones you had suited the ship much better

well done on her she looks great!

Copied from my comment on Youtube:

Very nice. And while I prefer the red bussards, in this clip it looks good? being orange. Thou, they also appear to be powered down here. Maybe it shifts into red when entering/during warp?

Great looking refit.  I think the orange looks great in the video.

Loves this version of the NX-Class refit. The f/x guys should've done this a hell of a lot earlier, as part of Chef Daniels' database the crew of Enterprise (NX-01) encountered or at very least a clear cameo shot toward the last part of the last season, partially completed in a box dock during a trip to Earth, maybe even heading past the "welcome home" group on its way elsewhere.

Can't wait to take her for a spin. The Romulans don't stand a chance.

And as far as the bussards go, why not do somewhere between yellow and red, I always though TOS to be more of an orange.
Why not use something like this:
