Front Lip Spoiler

I mean..for the OEM black rubber lip...

In 1997, they changed it so that it's wider around the sides than it is in the front of the car.

The two versions are interchangeable and I've heard that the 1991-96 version is no longer available.

I have replaced mine twice in the past few years, and have only ever been able to get the 97+ version... FWIW
 
related question:
If you install a WW front dam can it be used w/o the original lip piece? Is the fit better with the original lip or w/o?
 
Mark Basch installed a new one (lip spoiler) on my NSX today, and damn...that thing scrapes everywhere! I wonder how long it'll last before needing replacement again.

I left my oem lip on there and the WW spoiler fits over it but I don't think you need it there either.

I don't know, but it's less expensive to replace than the front air dam above it.

BTW, this problem is worse with cars that have been lowered. That's one reason (among several) I keep mine at the stock ride height.
 
After about 6 months, I am still looking for a new or used older style front chin spoiler. If anyone happens to come across one, please let me know. I have a brand new one that is the newer style that I can sell or trade. Thanks.
 
Heh. I'm going to ask Mark for my old spoiler back. I just wanted it reattached in the first place, I had heard stories about the new replacements...
 
Anyone have a pic of an NSX with an old lip spoiler and an NSX with a new one parked nose-to-nose?

No, but I have pictures with the old spoiler, and will take some with the new one (after I get it back from Basch Acura today), and post them.
