A-Spec Badge??

Hey guys. 2 weeks ago I got my A spec wheels from the dealer. I have everything but the A spec suspension and the steering wheel. I went back to my dealership (parts dept) and asked if I can get the A-spec emblem. He had to check on it, and then he comes back saying I need the suspension kit to have the badge. Damn.... I would get the suspension, but I'm not really sure. I sure do want my TL to handle better though. Is it true you can get the A-Spec badge somewhere, or was it false info I was reading?

Also, if I waited a year or so, would they still have the Aspec suspension on sale?
Thanks guys

Come on guys.. it's only one piece of plastic. I'm not trying to put any racing stickers or Honda emblems. I know I don't have the whole "A-Spec kit" but it's close enough..

Dont let em sweat you man....I did the same thing...put suspension on shortly after...but did do the same thing...put badge on with body kit and rims. Later I debaded everything (acura and TL) and left the A-spec badge on.

Actually I still have my old "Type S" license plate from my RSX-S. Would that be better???? LOL!!!

Nah, anyways. I like the clean look of the car. You know what I'm sayin? I don't like to be extreme. I'm conservative in a way.

You left off the most important part (suspension).

I didn't get a badge when I got my suspension (if I did, I would mail it to you).

I didn't buy a badge when I bought my A-Spec suspension, either. However, I plan to buy a body kit, and just purchased a badge to go along with it, from the same place as the OP did (thanks!). After all, my car will have the most important components of A-Spec. (The steering wheel is not different enough from stock to be worth purchasing.)

You can buy the badge by itself from the dealer part# 08F20-SEP-200A. I got mine for free from the service manager. They retail for like 30-40 bucks!
