A Breakdown of the NSX-R Wing
One notable feature of the NSX-R is its rear wing, which plays a crucial role in the car’s handling and overall performance. There are several misconceptions regarding the NSX-R wing, especially when comparing OEM versions to aftermarket alternatives. The wings produced by MITA Motorsports closely follow the original NSX-R shape, while other aftermarket options may differ in fitment, curvature, or additional design changes.
One key difference is how the wing mounts on the trunk. The OEM NSX-R wing extends further down, following the natural flow of the trunk and integrating smoothly with the trunk’s lines. In contrast, some aftermarket versions are designed to fit similarly to the standard non-R wings.
Another noticeable difference is the curvature. The original design is meant to optimize airflow and features a curve that seamlessly blends in with the car’s body lines. While some aftermarket versions maintain this original curvature, others feature a flatter shape or an added lip to increase downforce.
It’s also worth noting that while some companies have sold large numbers of NSX-R-style wings, the popularity of these designs doesn’t necessarily mean they replicate the true shape of the original. The design variations found in certain aftermarket wings may look similar at a glance, but they don’t fully reflect the original aerodynamic features of the 02R wing.
Ultimately, the choice comes down to personal preference and priorities. We encourage enthusiasts to explore the available options and select the wing that best suits their vision for their NSX. For those seeking an authentic NSX-R look, options from MITA Motorsports maintain the original shape and fitment of the NSX-R wing. The OEM 02R wing was manufactured using dry carbon for its lightweight strength, then finished with a coat of Berlina Black paint. Our offerings include both FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) and dry carbon versions, each molded directly from an OEM piece to ensure a perfect fit and match.
