mechanically = type S
cosmetically = a lot nicer IMO
it gives you 7 spoke alloy wheels, red accent lights on the spoiler, full oem body kit, body coloured door handles and front grill, perforated leather (blue and black), titanium finish inside, a-spec badging, personalized leather jacket...I think I got everything

Oh yeah,
As stated by sc354 above, we also get a personalized leather - and numbered jacket (I'm "394 of 800") with the car. It has "Acura" embossed on the front left and "A-Spec" on the back just below the collar - all very low key.
Acura has only produced 800 of the A-Spec, hence the jacket numbering...

Don't forget the headlights.. The blue TL-S a-spec has the blue housing and the Black TL-S a-spec has the black headlight housing....
I called the Acura dealership in Canada, quoted me 367.00 per headlight, boy do they look sweet..

The A-Spec is (was) only available in Canada.
Are they offering the third gen. car in A-Spec?

Here are some photos of an A-Spec - they are not of my car, so I hope I am not offending anyone.

I got mine on April 4th, 2003. I have leased the car with 24k km/year and I'm so over my limit.
I will probably break 19000 km this week, and I've had the car for less then 8 months. Do the math, that's 28500 km per year.
So if it costs me .12/km at the end of the lease, that would be $2160 in over usage of km's. Whatever, as long as this car runs well at the end of the lease, I'm going to buy it out.
I love this car!!!

So for instance, if I'm experiencing rough idling, and hardly any other a-spec owners are, then he response I would get would be like 2 ppl, causing me to never know if this is a normal occurence. Seeing as the TL-S and A-Spec are mechanically the same, it allows me to consult with many other TL-S owners. I think we should keep it the way it is.

I'm number 219. The A-Spec rims have a better turning radius than the 02 TLS. However, they do look like my wife's Odyssey wheels. Acura has to do a better job on these wheels.

You should post some pics of the dash trim kit.
