Acura Opens U.S. Sales of 3,000+ First-Gen NSX Parts
Acura has opened U.S. sales of more than 3,000 reproduction parts for the first-generation NSX, moving its Honda Heritage Parts program from a March announcement to an orderable service. The parts cover 1991–2005 Acura NSX models and are available through Acura dealers nationwide and Honda’s DreamShop.
The November 2 launch matters because discontinued components can determine whether an aging performance car remains roadworthy, presentable or stuck waiting for a used part. Acura says the current catalog consists of Genuine Honda Reproduction Parts and plans to expand the offering, but its launch release does not publish a complete part-number list, prices or a timetable for adding other models.

Acura calls the inventory “Genuine Honda Reproduction Parts.” That is the company’s classification, not an independent certification of how every component compares with its original-production counterpart. Owners should confirm the exact part number and vehicle fitment before ordering, especially because the first-generation NSX changed over its 15-model-year U.S. run.
The launch is broader than the March preview
Acura first announced the U.S. program on March 10, saying ordering would begin during the summer. That earlier release described Honda Heritage Works as a global business with two parts categories: Genuine Honda Reproduction Parts made with original materials and production methods, and Honda Compatible Parts redeveloped when the original component could no longer be supplied.
The November launch release is narrower in its wording. It says more than 3,000 Genuine Honda Reproduction Parts are available now, but it does not say whether any Honda Compatible Parts are included in the U.S. catalog. It also does not bring Honda’s Japan-based Restoration Service to the United States. In practical terms, this is a parts-sales launch, not a factory restoration program for American owners.
The March announcement said the broader parts effort could cover powertrain, interior, exterior, electrical and chassis components. The launch release does not break the 3,000-plus U.S. items into those groups, so shoppers should not assume that every discontinued NSX component has returned.
How NSX owners can use the program
- Have the car’s VIN available before searching or contacting a dealer.
- Use an Acura parts department or Honda DreamShop to check the current catalog.
- Confirm that the listed part number fits the car’s model year and configuration.
- Ask whether the item is in stock, back-ordered or made available in limited batches.
- Check the final price, shipping cost and return rules before ordering.
Those steps are especially important because Acura has not published a single public price sheet in the launch announcement. A catalog containing thousands of items can still have gaps, and “available” does not necessarily mean every part is sitting on a dealer shelf for immediate delivery.
Why a factory-backed catalog matters
The first-generation NSX was sold in the United States for the 1991 through 2005 model years. As those cars age, owners often have to choose among new old stock, used components, aftermarket replacements and repair of the original part. A factory-backed reproduction catalog adds another option and can make provenance and fitment easier to document, even though Acura has not claimed that it will supply every component owners may need.
The program also shows how Honda is separating heritage support from its newer performance-parts business. Chiefs Review recently reported that Honda Racing Corporation’s first HRC Performance Parts are scheduled to go on sale in March 2027. Those products are upgrades for newer Honda and Acura models; Honda Heritage Parts is aimed at preserving older cars with replacement components.
Acura has not named the next classic model in line for support. The company said in March that other Acura and Honda performance models were being evaluated and repeated on November 2 that it plans to expand the offering. Until a model and date are announced, broader coverage remains a plan rather than a confirmed product rollout.
What remains unanswered
- Acura has not released a complete public list of the 3,000-plus parts in its announcement.
- No program-wide pricing or inventory timetable was provided.
- The company did not identify the next Acura or Honda model to receive heritage support.
- The U.S. announcement does not include a factory restoration service.
- Availability may vary by part number, model year and sales channel.
For Acura, the heritage launch arrives alongside a very different product strategy for the coming years. The brand is planning new utility vehicles, including a hybrid RDX and an eight-seat model; Chiefs Review has a separate report on Acura’s three-SUV roadmap. Supporting the original NSX lets the company serve long-term enthusiasts while its current lineup moves deeper into SUVs and electrification.
