Acura now sells more than 3,000 factory restoration parts for the NSX in the US

Owners of the original Acura NSX can now buy more than 3,000 reproduction parts for the car straight from Honda. Acura announced on Nov. 2 that U.S. sales of the Honda Heritage Parts program have begun, with parts covering the 1991 to 2005 NSX. The mid-engine coupe left production in 2005, and the parts are sold on a model-year basis, so what any one owner can order depends on the exact car.

Mamadou Diallo, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., said the program was created to help customers enjoy their classic Acura and Honda performance models. He added that supporting the NSX’s legacy keeps the cars on the road for today’s enthusiasts and future generations.

Genuine reproduction parts, compatible parts and where to buy

The parts fall into two categories. Acura’s release describes Genuine Honda Reproduction Parts as items made with the same materials and production methods as the originals. The program also includes Honda Compatible Parts, which are newly engineered pieces that replace original components Honda no longer sells, according to the March announcement as republished by Acura Connected. Both categories are sold only through Acura dealerships nationwide and through the Honda DreamShop.

Availability depends on the car. Carscoops reports that what a buyer can order varies by the NSX’s year, model, trim and transmission type, and it walks through a 1994 NSX with a four-speed automatic as an example. For that car the catalog includes fuel injectors, a new throttle body, exhaust manifold components, an oil cooler, an alternator, cylinder head covers, camshafts and timing belts on the engine side, along with new transmission cases, gear shafts, shift forks and shift levers.

The same example extends beyond the drivetrain: reproduced exhaust parts, radiators, electrical connectors, headlights, taillights, interior gauges, wheels, brakes and shock absorbers, a range of interior trim, a genuine replacement windshield, and routine service items such as spark plugs, wiper blades, fuel pumps and oil filters.

First-generation scope and the unanswered pricing question

Carscoops wrote that owners of first- and second-generation NSXs can now get restoration parts from Honda. Acura’s own release is narrower. It names the first-generation car only, covering model years 1991 to 2005, and its photos are split between the 1991 to 2001 and 2002 to 2005 versions of that car. The second-generation NSX, a hybrid that went on sale in 2017, does not appear in the release.

The release gives no pricing, no part-by-part list and no ordering instructions beyond the dealer and DreamShop channels, and it carries the standard caveat that the offering is subject to change without notice and applies to U.S. products only. AutoGuide’s report on the launch likewise notes that the individual components and their prices were not disclosed, nor when other classic Acura and Honda models will join the program.

The program began in Japan before reaching American dealers. AutoGuide reports that Honda Heritage Parts first launched in Japan in April, and the Acura release repeats that timing. The March announcement described a new collaborative framework with parts suppliers, along with advances in technology, new materials and new manufacturing methods, as what made reproducing long-discontinued components practical. Honda Heritage Works promises to reproduce discontinued genuine parts across powertrain, interior, exterior, electrical and chassis systems.

Carscoops separately describes Honda Restoration Service as launched earlier in 2026, though the Carscoops piece it links on that service is dated December 2025, so the exact start of that Japan-only offering is unsettled. For U.S. owners the practical point is narrower: the parts are available now, and the sales channel is the dealer network plus the DreamShop.

From March announcement to Honda Heritage Works

The launch fulfils a promise made eight months earlier. In March, Steven Bailey, vice president of Honda and Acura Parts, Service and Technical Division, said the new program honors a shared passion for these iconic vehicles, and the announcement promised ordering in the U.S. beginning that summer. The SEMA News summary of the March release records that summer wording, and the dealer launch came on Nov. 2. Pricing and availability, SEMA noted, were to be announced closer to launch.

Honda Heritage Parts sits inside Honda Heritage Works, a global service business that launched on April 1, 2026, in Japan. It also includes Honda Restoration Service, formerly called the NSX Refresh Plan, which handles full restoration work. That service remains limited to Japan and to Japan-market first-generation NSX models, so American owners are buying parts for their own shops rather than a factory rebuild.

Honda has said it is still evaluating which other Acura and Honda performance models will receive parts, and the November release says only that the offering will expand. Which model comes second, and what the 3,000-plus parts will cost at the dealer counter, remain unanswered in the published material. Acura states the count as a floor of more than 3,000 and does not break it down by category, so the split between genuine reproduction parts and compatible parts is also unknown.
