What's so special about it? All it has is body kit, rear spoiler, different rims and some really ugly seats IMO, and oh, that little A-Spec emblem. How much are the dealer charging for all that? $5000 more?

First of all The Body kit and Spoiler, Rims cost lot more to mod the current TL.. I think the seats are cool except the color inserts on the door... I doubt it will be a cent more than the current TL.. They are trying to have the 2003 TL's out of the Lot to get ready for 2004 TL so they will not overprice.. should be same price as current Type-S.. Basically the current Type-S Price I believe should go down..

Wow okay, just saw the pix...

Don't forget the sidemarkers, Brushed Titanium Trim, A-spec Badges, A-Spec Floormats, Black Headlight Housings, New Spoiler With Turn Signals, Chromed Door Sills with A-Spec on them, New Steering Wheel, New Shift Knob, plus all the stuff you said, Wheels, Two Toned Perforated Leather Seats...

All that stuff is worth a ton, but since its all cosmetic I doubt I'd pay more than 1.5 to 2 grand USD for it.

Like I said, I don't see anything special about it. If it had more performance, I think it would be worth it. You have to agree that the steering wheel and seats looks likea nasty.......

Headlights look good especially since you don't have to break the factory seal!!

The rear spoiler is weird looking with those signals on it?????

But if it really is only CDN$5000 more, then it's worth it. The kit alone from Acura is around CDN$2000.

Maybe I should have made my response a bit clearer.

What I meant to say, is that I didn't know that they sold a spoiler that looked like that (with the lights on the sides??) for the Inspire in Japan.

Why don't they just call it C-SPEC since it's only available in Canada?

The headlights aren't black they are body colored. They don't look too bad in ABP, I might have to buy some a-spec parts when it becomes available

Man, i'm gonna have to visit my local dealer and see what kind of a deal i can get on that spoiler. I really like it and my gf's been wanting a spoiler on the car for a while. I just have to see if she like it with the lights on the side!!

Too bad i have to wait soooo long for it.

BTW, does anyone have a trunk spoiler but NOT the trunk springs upgrade? I want to know how much difference the springs actually make.

the headlight housings are blue if you have ABP, black if you have anything else.

Sure, I'll take a drive there. It only takes 10 hours or so. I like long rides in the middle of nowhere.

I looked at those pictures. Is it just me, or do all those pictures look like they have been Photoshopped? Look at them real close. A-Spec, give me a break.
