I'm so jealous of your Canadian fender A-spec badges.


From what you can tell, are the badges integrated into the fender (as if they have mounting holes to fit in) or just stuck on with 3M adhesive?

The US A-spec's don't have any badging on them, not even on the rear like previous TL, TSX, RSX's did. I've been trying to find a Canadian dealer who's willing to source them out for me and ship them to California. Lol


Did you have to pay extra for the parts/install of the front and rear Aero kits? Or did the dealership already have them pre-installed on the show floor for you?

@Thmanx I am not sure why they would leave the badge out on the A-Spec models in the US. I took a close look at it and it looks like 3M adhesive. Ill get a close up picture of it.

Did you get any luck with the badge here?

I didn't have to pay extra for the Aero kits. It was not pre-installed, the dealer threw it in there for free. They got it all installed for me.

Dude it's totally a separate component. I was afraid it might have been a specific fender that the Canadian versions came with.

I tried calling "Downtown Acura" I believe in Toronto. They didn't see any individual part number in their system for the badge and said they would try calling Acura of Canada to see if they could source it.

You should try asking your local dealer if it's possible to order it. All us US A-Spec owners have been completely left out lol.



And way to go getting the front/rear aero installed for free!!!!
US ones just get the black interior, side skirts, wheels, fogs, and rear deck spoiler. No one even mentioned the front and rear kits at my dealership. Once I saw them I HAD to get them because they look way to cool on the ILX. Seams kinda funny to me to sell an A-spec with out them.

Tints look good, I was planning to tint mine 20% all around and the front windshield 35% but don't know if the 20% will be toooo dark meaning the aspec has all black interior, maybe I should go with 30% around

I would go with 20% all around. When it's sunny you can see right through the windows at 30%. I wish they carried 20% at my tint shop but unfortunately after the 30% they only had 15%. IMO I think 20% is perfect.

Love those emblems! Wish we have some badging like this for the U.S. market.

Any luck? I would love a pair of these for my RLX. I've added all the bells and whisltles so I think it's worthy of something to set it apart.
