I am planning on adding two rear spats and a lower (more aggressive) diffuser. These parts add about 7-8lbs of total wieght, but I don't care since I have taken out nearly 150lbs of wieght since buying the car a couple years ago. The two pics of the rear are stock and then with the sides spats and diffuser. I was using duct tape to hold al the pieces on and edited it out with photoshop - so if the paint looks like it does not match in spots.
Please let me know your thoughts before I start drilling holes in the car. I think the back end sat too high with stock valence. I like the lower look that is similar to newer sportcars.

I like it. Even though Dan says my opinions don't count because my car has leaf springs for now.

Why would you pass on the spats?
The spats have sat in my garage for nearly a year. I think they even out the lowered stance, otherwise the diffuser sits really low in the middle and the sides of the car sit very high.

The diffuser will work once on. It's a copy of the NSX-R.

I think they are kinda ugly

+1 difuser
-1 spats
But, then I'd do the '05 rear and leave it that if it were mine... maybe add the diffuser to that.

2002 rear valance and recent with the NSX-R diffuser (CF).
I went with the OEM 02 rear and exact replica of the NSX-R diffuser as I think in my opinion the West Wing spats and the Kite NSX-R "like" diffuser don't look nearly as good as the real thing. They look like a body kit add on.

Thanks guys...
4Ring, I know that the OEM 02, plus paint, install and NSX-R diffuser (now reduced from $700 to $250 on Prime) will run close to a grand. But in my opinion completes the car so much nicer. The one thing I didn't like about my 2000 was that with the whole center section looking black it made it look like a big whole in the middle.
Plus, I like the mesh so much better than the slats of the early valence.
Just my $.02
