what I hope they don't do is retain the part #s of old to new.

For example, the new (97+) chin spoiler has the same part # (IIRC) as the old chin spoiler. If you order a spoiler replacement today, all you can buy is the 97+. AFAIK, you cannot buy the old-style chin spoiler from Acura/Honda

IOW, I hope you can still purchase parts for the older cars down the road.

They will.

When parts are part of the car (not optional accessories), they keep them available for a minimum of something like 8-10 years. They will replace an old part with a superseded part and still use the same part number, but only if you can substitute the new one for the old without modification (such as with the chin spoiler).

Because the new hood is not directly substitutable for the old hood (assuming the photographs are accurate), they should continue to keep both available under different part numbers. Same thing for other parts.
