Found this one for sale ($199), but don't really know if I like it or not. I guess if I don't know then I really don't like it, but not a fan of the original pre-2002 rear either. Think it's kind of got the look of the ferrari modena rear end. Might look better w/dual tip exhausts maybe. Whaddya think?

of course the wing does not help the picture however overall the kit adds a few visual pounds....bit klunky looking, no?
 
It looks like the aftermarket piece gets added over the rear fenders and the stock rear bumper cover, rather than just replacing it. If that's the case, I would expect fit along the seam to be not very good, especially at that price. Like carpete notes, it does look a bit bulky.

On a second look, it makes it look kind of like a 300ZX.
 
look into the fit, it might be better w/ wide-body NSX's...

This looks cleaner...

Simple paint the valance/diffuser portion berlina black, and attach a Downforce CF license plate holder. :cool:

I don't think it flows well with the car. Definitely would look better with dual tips and Osiris_x11 is right about painting the valence portion black. It reminds me of the Stillen 300 Z.

You asked so..

It's terrible. Looks added on, heavy, and doesn't flow with the lines of the NSX at all.
 
I think its a snow and mud catching fugly "you get what you paid for POS" there, now I feel better.........Hell you can't even buy rear spats for 200.00!! And don't try keeping it on with the supplied double sided sticky tape!! It will probably blow off at 70-80 mph!! :biggrin:
 
Add Stacy's spats and paint them. Leave OEM rear valence black. The spats will draw enough attention for a clean look. This is the cheapest route, or I guess the best way is to go with the super clean 02 R or NA2 rear valence.
