Whats the difference?

Between a type-s and a type-s a spec. Is it just the interior or are there actually some performance modifications as well. I was thinking about painting my two tone like an a-spec. Also I have never seen one in person. Are they that rare?

No performance difference, only cosmetic.

A-Specs arent 2 tone. They are all one color. Only real difference (for the 100th time, and a quick use of the search button would give you all the answers as well) are 2 tone interior on the seats and steering wheel, When new you got a leather jacket, color matched headlights, different wheels, and a different spoiler. Every thing is cosmetic, and yes they are rare, they were Canada only

as far as i know you cant get one from the dealer unless you can prove you own an A-spec.

Use the other method with the heat gun. It is actually pretty easy with it. Just take your time.

Just take your time and follow the DIYs (there are hundreds of them on line and all are pretty much the same procedure as our TL's) Dont be scared.
