The program is designed to help owners maintain and restore one of Acura’s most iconic sports cars for years to come.

The program will include Genuine Honda Reproduction Parts made using the same materials and manufacturing processes as the originals, along with Honda Compatible Parts that have been newly engineered to replace discontinued components.

Honda is also exploring the possibility of supporting other Acura and Honda performance models.
