Any way to get A-spec parts?

I want to get the aluminum trim for the dash and door panels. Any way to order them or do we have to wait until the spring? Anyone have an idea on pricing, I assume we will have to order from a Canadian dealer?

Car is not out until Mid-Feb 2003. So you'll just have to wait. And yes, you will have to order from a canadian dealer.

Also, those parts ain't gonna be cheap. One center wood piece from Acura down here is about $50. Imagine the whole door panel.

I'm only going for the sills. I'm making my own trim

Some guy was selling the same type of rims on Ebay a while ago, but I still think the Type S rims looks better.

I think those Saber rims are ugly. I prefer the TL-S / CL-S rims hands down.

The only thing that I'm picking up are the door sills and possible the spoiler & headlights

I have to agree with Dai, those A spec rims are ugly, they look like 16's rather than 17's. I'd be interested in the sills as well, i also wanna get the silver trim (don't know if they'd match my beige interior though) and they'd be expensive as well.... so probably not gonna get them... leave the interior "classy"

Just make your own silver trim if you are handy

Actually they are Accord V6 coupe wheels, Odyssey stars look simular but a little wider (not wheel width, but the design).

What has the Accord V6 Coupe wheels? Are you refering to the A Spec?

The A Spec has Honda Saber wheels.

I meant the JDM Inspire non Type S has the Accord V6 coupe('98-'01) wheels and JDM Saber non Type S has the '02 Accord V6 coupe wheels.

True, it will be expensive. But don't forget about the exchange rate, as it is in the American's favor. You will get more bang for your buck, even if it is expensive in Cdn dollars.
