Hello Prime,

Asking for your help on comparing the 2002+ rear valence vs. the 2001 and earlier model. I have read many threads but still confused on the main differences. Could anyone post a picture of each rear OEM valence so I may see the difference?

Thanks

:smile: How did you exit the car parked so close? Heheh.
 
This is a pretty easy DIY if you follow the directions posted on Prime. I installed a FACTORY Honda part and 0 fitment issues. IMO this is the way the car should have come from the factory - it makes a big difference visually out back. A must if you own a low-hanging exhaust or use the Type-R wing.

Don't forget the center bracket!

Very helpful. You can really see the difference between the two.

How about this pic:

Again you can see the difference and how it makes the NSX look more complete. Thanks for sharing.
 
One of the best mods anyone can do to update their nsx.

Just say no. To fiberglass.

Go with Oem as well. Don't buy fiberglass or fiberglass wrapped in carbon fiber. She'll out the the 200$ more and get Honda quality. Can' t go wrong.
 
Normally I would argue with this comment but having owned a GT-One rear fiberglas valance. Fit and finish was spot on. I was very lucky.
