Nice.

By the way, the A-Spec emblem should be lower.

Richmond Acura's always doing that, putting the A-Spec emblem too high. Very weird.

like way below near the bumper I believe. But I guess it doesn't really matter. there is really no rule or anything you can't put it anywhere else. Just like hemi I could get two A-spec emblems and put it on front fenders.

Yeah, it should be as shown in this photo. Of course, you can put the emblem anywhere you want to, if you were installing the kit yourself. It's just a little bit odd that the dealership doesn't know where it's supposed to go.

Sounds like retareded dealers. The exact locations of all the emblems/stickers are right in the service manual!

Cool

Looks great! Welcome to the A-Spec club.

I'm not sure about the wheels though, they looked chromed in the outside shot but that may be the picture. Are those 18" or 17"? The original '04 A-Spec package had 18"x8.5". Looks like they may have changed the wheels a little bit. Everything else is hot of course!

yeah they changed to 8J for 05. notice you have a little bit of rim protection from the tire. my 04's got "little bit of tire protection from the rim". it looks great but sucks on curb rash and stuff. just had a $400 Wendy drive-thru meal the other day if you know what i mean. great color selection. hard to maintain tho. those swirl marks....

BTW, those tire look like Nero M+S. How did you get the dealer to install those for ya? How do you like them on 18?
