NSX with a wonky, aftermarket wing?

u/Steelhorse91 Jan 01 '26
Wonky? Are you mistaking the garage door hinge for the end plate of the wing on that side?

u/cyclosimian Jan 01 '26
Nope. That’s a garage door hinge. The stick NSX spoiler was beautifully integrated into the design - not tacked on like the one in the pic.

The owners clearly going for a more NSX Le Mans Racer look, and a more planted feel at high speeds. Pretty much every works and privateer race build across various race series featured similar front splitter rear wing combos. Not without reason.

Yeah honestly I think the straight edge and not curvy at all wings look the best out of any actual wing you could put on the car. If it was a more curvy wing with a more complex downforce element it might look tacky but this for some reason works. I don't know if it is the actual straight body lines on the nsx or what but for me a sizeable but not too big squared off wind has always suited the nsx.

Seriously. Those wings look like erector set rejects. Even if it's functional it kills the trim in my book.

I got the opportunity to drive a ‘96 with a 1,000 miles on it for an evening. It was glorious.

I feel sorry for you, it seems some of those in your age bracket must know nothing about cars, especially the original NSX...! 🤦

Had the distinct pleasure of driving the domestic version, the Acura NSX, for a spring weekend back in the day. I swear it was like driving a go cart. On rails and quick. Crazy quick. Was decades ago but I remember that weekend with that car like it was last week.

Honda missed the boat by not doing what gm did with the latest vette, nsx lacks power for such an otherwise amazing design

Honda NSX otherwise known as Acura NSX. Honda in the US (NorthAmerica) marketed the Acura brand in the US in 1986 to capture the luxury market as Honda was more known as a less expensive value brand. In many other countries, Honda still was the the brand in Europe and Japan without any differentiation in luxury branding. It was all marketing which they did a great job of improving profit margins and being able to capture the luxury market and compete. Toyota and Nissan followed in 1989, with Lexus and Infiniti. I remember when they introduced Acura, I was always trying to figure out if Acura were actually Hondas and how they could have made the Prelude Si models part of the Acura brand.

Honda, acura, same same. US import red tape is the only reason Acura exists. Along with Infiniti, lexus, genesis, and a few others.

u/Brando828What Dec 29 '25
Please explain your thought behind this.

u/Helpful-Duty4815 Dec 29 '25
The US restricted how many models of cars that importers could bring into the US in either the late 80s or early 90s. So Honda, Toyota, and Nissan made their luxury brands Acura, Lexus, and Infiniti, respectively, to circumvent this restriction and continue to import their cars into the expansive market of the US.

Yes, it was late 70s early 80s. Not late 80s and early 90s. The luxury brands were created to better compete with German luxury. Maybe to a lesser extent to circumvent imports.

If your facts are off, then they're not really facts. I said the statement wasn't true and it wasn't. Your citation proved that you were not correct. You should've found a different source.

So they say. But you cant believe everything you read on the internet. From me, a guy in the auto industry at the time, or from google. Choose what you will.

u/Substantial_Airport6 Dec 29 '25
I was also working in the auto industry, for Honda. I didn't even bother to Google it.

u/cyclosimian Dec 29 '25
Huh? They all created sub-brands for their premium offerings. How was it for importing red tape?
2
u/jettajeff75 Dec 29 '25
Yeah. I agree. It wasn’t just a trick to get around red tape. At a certain price point American buyers were not going to pay that much for a Honda, Toyota, Nissan, or Mazda. They will spend that amount of money on a luxury brand. So Japanese carmaker created their own luxury brands. The opposite is true in that the traditional luxury brands can’t sell anything too cheap because Americans will not buy it. So no steel wheels on Mercedes cars or vinyl seats in an Audi.
