Congrats! I know the feeling. I was suppose to get from them too, but I live in WA state shipping was $130. So, I just decided to order it from Ray Laks Acura in NY, $757 shipped.

Man!!

Man!
I got the A spec from this guy in eBay too!
It was $800 include S/H to EastCoast.
Took me a month to receive this though.

The A spec was awsome, it came directly from honda manufacture.
The paint job was nice too.

Took me and my friend good 6 hours to install but it is worth it.
Becarefull drilling on the side where mud guard is, it is tricky.

I think if I ever get ASpec anything, it'll just be suspension and rims.. No body kit, spoiler, or steering wheel. I actually prefer the stock body look.

Steve @ SCA was very nice to work with. Purchased the deck lid spoiler from him, he even gave me a deal that I couldn't refuse on the aspec suspension. I hope the kit matches your WDP.

rear body spoiler = replace rear bumper?

sorry for newb question.

i just got into an accident, got rear ended. i would have to replace the rear bumper.

i am thinking this would be good chance for upgrade.

is the Rear Underbody Spoiler a whole bumper?? It actually costs less than what it takes to replace bumper at a dealer recommended bodyshop ($400 as opposed to $800-$900 estimate)

thx.

Yeah I was looking at prices and it looks like a good price would be around 200 shipped off ebay for the CAI. Once I get my check in two weeks (Just got promoted ) im gonna spend it on Tint and the CAI upgrades (310ish for Tint thanks to a good place recommended by noychris!). OH and cant wait for tomorrow my body kit comes in !

Those are great prices for the aspec kit. Is there anyway that i can just purchase the suspension and the rims from this contact person on ebay for even more of a cheaper price?
