A-SPEC Package Now Available.....

I was checking out E-Bay just a bit ago and found that Curry Acura in New York is offering the A-Spec package now.....the price is a huge rip, but I'm sure Acura is the one pushing that....

I called them to ask how much the wheels would be separate and was quoted at $325 a piece or $1300 for a set.....kinda pricey....and he said that they are the same exact size as the OEM....I think we all knew that, but in case anyone didn't....

Reading from TOV, the bodykit is just the standard oem bodykit. And even if you order the stuff sperately, you just pay ~$50 more. And I have ordered a-spec suspension and a set of bodykit from this guy(aofeparts) and is nice to deal with. Also I like my a-spec suspension too. But I won't get that wheels, they are kind of expensive for a 17".

Just found out that this guy sell 18" TL a-spec wheel for $1000 then it sounds not bad now! Wondering why the 17" TSX one is more than 18" TL one that with same style????

yeah .. that's expansive for a set of 17" ... i thought it's 18" ...... never kno they make this style in 17" ... i thought they just take it from the TL optionals .... the color is like last generation's TL Type-S 's rims ... it's shiny but not chrome .. kind of love the color .... chrome really dont really good on our rides ...
still ... i think the package is totally not worth it .. it's only a pricey 17" with OEM sides and rear + JDM front bumper kit whcih is only worht liek 1000USD or so ? .... and u will still wera out ur tires with those suspension kits and it's totally not low enough .. not really see any diff from the pic and it should look lower in the pic than in real life

No, the picture that they use is of the TSX A-SPEC concept... either 1: False advertising, or 2: They didn't have a picture on file and got lazy...my guess is number two.

So no dice on the brakes or the M3 spoiler......damn

I think they might have an OEM lip spoiler coming up. Look at the options for the spoiler on the A-Spec press release.
