The construction of the OEM NSX-R hood results in a higher level of strength than aftermarket hoods, it has been carefully designed to work with the OEM hood latch by a multi-billion-dollar automaker, who is concerned about their liability on a limited edition production vehicle; this is quite different from a random shop looking to bang something out that features a vent and fits "okay".


The NSX-R also features aerodynamic enhancements to reduce the forces acting on the hood, such as underbody panels and an internal hood duct.


To quote Honda, on the construction of the OEM hood:



In the case of the NSX-R, I would trust Honda more than I would trust VIS, Seibon, Marga Hills, or in my case, Gt-rom. If you're set on an NSX-R hood, and do not want to play with hood pins, there is an OEM Honda NA-2 R hood FS right now, on Yahoo Japan, for $3k + shipping.
