Finally done..A-Spec kit

Well I finally got it. After getting "sandwiched" three weeks ago I went ahead and convinced the Dealership there is in fact ..an A-spec kit.
They were going to charge me the extra $1400.00 bucks for the front and rear bumpers...but after I told them it was pre-painted (thanks to ya'll)...it only cost me $100.00 bucks.
Anyway, honestly, I REALLY liked the original front bumper.The way the bottom lip jutted out looked cool. But,
The new one has a BMW-esque look to it. The Acura dealership here in Dallas has NEVER seen the kit before so I guess mine is one of a kind here in Dallas.
Oh, if anyone needs rear mud flaps I'm selling mine for $85.00 bucks ;-)

I like it. I'm more a fan of the entire A-spec front bumper on the '09/'10 vs the 2 little things that you attach on the '11s. But since the grille size on the '11s are different, you'd have to get an entire grille also if you want the "BMW" look. Anyway, looking good!

I've always loved/adored/envied the Modulo front, but I'm having trouble seeing the BMW inspiration... ;l ?

looks nice! I've been wanting to replace my rear bumper with that one for a while now, I just need to find a decent price and fork over the money.

Where are you in Dallas? I'm at Lovers and 75.

I agree that when I first saw this front bumper in person it made me think of BMW with the more aggressive lower intake and sculpted 'fangs'. The rear bumper is a nice upgrade as well.

Damn, that is fine. I'd love to do a conversion to my 2011, but I don't have that kind of money to burn right now.

The Areo kit is by far the best factory kit that any car maker offers

You can't see the BMW look? Well to me it is all over the front bumper ..with that wide intake lower fascia..but thanks for the replies. I am quite happy with the change it looks longer and sleeker. Now I gotta work on a rear spoiler ;-))

Allow me to expound on that. The other driver's insurance paid for all the work done. Because I ordered the A-spec kit they charged me $100 for the kit. Honestly, I have no idea why i was charged at all!....but I was happy to get it so i did not complain...

Love the A-Spec front. That's what the SE should've came with instead of the little side slips.
