Hey... you missed April Fools day by 15 days!
You got some pics ? I want A-Spec so verryyy badly!
(Don't even kid about this!)
I don't wanna seem like a 'tard when I call my dealer to get me an A-Spec kit that isn't really available... so somebody please confirm this. And for goodness sakes, bring your camera!
Someone might take the initiative to call them and confirm it... their website is HERE.
I just emailed them my inquiry.

TSX A-Spec

A quick search from http://www.edmorseacura.com reveals that currently there are 5 TSXes in stock. 1 is priced at $27,035 (no nav) and 2 at $29,035 (with nav). And the other 2? $28,990 . . . so I guess that must mean the A-SPEC kit costs $1955.
#5
There is no way the A-SPEC only cost $1955 US.
You know how much the RSX's & TL's cost ??
they both cost $5000 US each without installation ($500).
So that won't be A-SPEC for sure

Acura announced A-Spec packages for the RSX and TL BEFORE it was available at dealers. In fact its common parctice to announce something in a press release BEFORE its made available. There have been NO announcements from Acura regarding an A-Spec package for the TSX.
The only way that dealer has a A-Spec equipped TSX is if Acura sent them one for some reason. One that is NOT FOR SALE, but only there for show.
And I still doubt its an actual A-Spec, probly just a TSX dressed up by the dealer.

They say that the TSX A-spec is avalible.
It comes with:
Upgraded suspention
Bremo brakes
OEM ground kit
18 rims and tires (he didn't know what type)
Badge "A-Spec"
Goes for $5800.
Sorry to no believe you ravingstylez.

Just called two dealers in the Dallas area and they both said it was not available yet.

I bet they just bolted on parts from the TL and made their own A-Spec. I'm pretty sure we would have heard or seen something before someone had it at a dealer.

i don't care about the A-spec, i mean does it increase hp and speed, not really.
the point is, all for show and no go. if the A-spec TSX will cost $33,000, then i'll just go buy the non-navi TL for only $500 dollars more.

Oh yeah, I want the little "A-Spec" badge.

kind of doubting that this is actual A-spec. I think it'd be strange for them to release same OEM bodykit as already exists as A-spec, especially as there are already two other Honda-made kits that I'm sure could be easily imported over.
#26
That's kind of lame, if so, you pay that much for the a-spec kit I'd expect something more than just the standard OEM kit. I know the concept had the Modulo Voltage kit on it, though I'd prefer Euro-R

maybe he thought you were talking about the TL?
That doesn't mean the dealership first mentioned in this thread didn't add the oem kit and wheels then throw on the A-spec badge just so they could jack up the price.
Otherwise I'd think we'd have already heard about an A-spec TSX before it was available.

I am not holding my breath...
When I got a reply email from this dealer all he mentioned was the TL A-Spec... I think the guy got it confused.
I don't expect a kit until October... at the earliest (Just in time for the 2005 TSX). That has been the general information I have received from my dealer and a few others I have contacted regarding A-Spec for the TSX. One dealer admitted to have a few on pre-order, but made reference to how long it took for RSX & TL A-Spec kits to come from the time ordred. Even mentioned that RSX kits are no longer being manufactured and even TL kits are on hold. Makes me wonder why I even bother getting worked up about the whole idea.
I could probably "make" a better A-Spec if I just sprung for a Modulo Voltage front bumper and anything else I can buy found on the concept.

here in van
honda/acura dealers love to make their own stuff..
ie acura rsx type x, a base rsx + replica type R wing (not even
the oem honda one)
or honda civic street edition, agian, base civic w/ some 14" rims
+ an oem spoiler.

A-Spec or not, doesn't worth the money... Imagine what you can get for your car with $5800.
Not too crazy about da A-spec badge also. I would rather put TSXBASHER's Foucs badge on. Does that make my car as fast as Focus? Hey TSXBASHER, can I have your badge?
lol

speaking of performance packages, I stopped by my local honda dealer to check up on a part for my girl's accord as saw one of these there
Looked really nice in person, one of the first new Civics that I really liked, very solid body kit and nice wheels. Its the Honda Factory Performance (HFP) package. Too bad its $22k for a Civic EX coupe (w/ drum brakes and all).
They had a S2000 next to it with a TSX shifter on it!? Do they come that way?

This past week's Autoweek magazine (Mustang GT-R on the cover) has a quick blurb stating that Acura will announce the specifications for the TSX A-spec in the next couple of months.
Go to autoweek.com and do a search on "TSX". There's an article from April 14th regarding SEMA - that's where it is.

I bought my A-spec last june
I own an Acura TSX.
It has the following:
Upgraded suspention
Bremo brakes
OEM ground kit
18 rims and tires
Badge "A-Spec"
Therefore, mine is an A-spec.
Puhhhhhleeeezzzz.
Actually, mine is comlpetely stock, just like that dealer's TSX was
before they optioned it out and threw an A-spec badge on it.
If you believe it's for real, than I have an extremely rare Geo Tracker Type R for sale if interested.
