What exactly is this, all though the name says it all.

I never knew he 02+ had a different wing?

Can someone provide me with a detailed pic of what it looks like?

Thanks
 
The '02 has a small lip piece mounted under the spoiler on the trunck lid. It takes an observant eye to notice it. I think it may have been added to reduce the drag coeficient and increase top speed. I am not wure if it will fit on a pre 2002.

Yes, it will work on pre-2002. Since it mounts under the main spoiler, and the main spoiler was left unchanged for the 2002 update, there isn't a problem with having it under the main wing. Aftermarket versions of the lip spoiler can be installed with the same type of 3M double sided tape used to install body kits.

Although this pic is of a DreamzSport wing, you can notice the lip spoiler under the main wing.

Beautiful car Ghostrider!!

The spoiler lip is shown well. My guess is that this was added to reduce drag and improve top speed. Is the lip available already painted to color?

Thanks, but this is Jack's car in CA. Mine is Longbeach Blue, just happened to have a good pic of his on file of what was asked for.
The lip comes painted and installed on the 02+ NSX, if you were to order it from Acura to add to a pre 02 not sure how it would come.

Can anyone tell me if this mod will reduce the turbulence that causes dust and dirt to gather above the rear bumper :frown:

The purpose of most spoilers is to increase downforce in the rear. This will help in high speed stability but generally increases the drag thus reducing top speed.
