My A-Spec @ Harrison Hot Springs

I thought I'd post this picture up that my gf took for me about 2 months ago from Harrison Hot Springs.

This is a pretty good picture even though we were standing about 2 blocks away from the car and it was kinda cloudy.

I rarely take pictures of the car so I hope you guys and gals will like it.

Thanks..

The Apexi's are really good. I have no complaints with how it rides at all.

Its way better than my preious setup : Tein S techs on stock shocks.

these made a huge difference. It reduced alot of body roll as well.

Too bad I can't afford sway bars just yet cuz I'm saving for some headers now

What's the differance between a-spec and type-s? Door handle trims, wheels, spoiler, side markers, looks like black housing headlights? Anything major?

thanks for the coments again...

Yes I'm planning to tint but not so soon.

I hate the tint laws here where we are not allowed any tints up front.

So i might go with a lighter tint or 50% all around.

Thanks guys... I will have new pics in another month when i get a new paint job.

I'll try to ask other acura dealerships about a-spec parts.
I tried and asked once about the door sills, but they didn't allow me to buy another set.

Some people like the rims and some don't... I like it cuz its a different from most of the TL's out there.
The only bad thing is that they look exactly like older gen CIVIC SI / SIR rims.

A-Spec Rims

even if they didn't come on THAT^ I wouldn't like them. I like the type-s rims more. your car looks nice though, except for the rims.

lol.. thats true..

I really want some rims, but too bad I can't afford them.

I could probably afford some 18's by next year and I'm thinking of the PIAA FR-S in silver. They will be 18 by 7.5 with a 48 offset. so It should fit without rubbing.
