Cool A-Spec how to tell

How can one tell if the have the A-Spec body kit? In looking at the instructions it looks like maybe my wifes 05 TL might have it but not sure and as I purchased it used no one can answer the queston about it. If need be when I get back home I can try to take some pictures of the car and try to post them but have not posted pictures here before so not sure how to do this.

The Picture by my name is just one found on internet that had same color so it is not a picture of her car.

Thanks and sorry for this stupid question

Mark

Look at the picture on the RON JON ad on the upper right of the screen. That's the A spec body kit.

on the body lower body side panels- the rocker panels that run between the front and rear wheels- a stock TL looks like every other car made - basic rounded in and down edge
While the Aspec looks like its added on and totally aero designed with flat panels and angles worthy of a stealth bomber
Now if they would just make the front of the car radar dissapating--then life would be good

You have to host the pictures online first. Try www.photobucket.com

Then wrap the links with the [img[[/img] tags.

^^^^^ first you need to upload the pictures to a website like tinypic.com, photobucket.com, etc... then when you upload the pictures, the website you used will give you a link to the pictures. just post that link here or put it in this:

The link called bad day at work is not for the fant of hart check out that one at your on risk.

Boy did I fall into that one , Now I'll have to see if I got any of the other goodies like the suspention any way of finding that out? I do not have any side pictures right now just the front and rearview one you see on the web site www.bento.org under mark and joannes place/acura if you move the page down you will see the rear view shot I'll try to get some side view shots and place them on the site so you can see wheels and side body .

So what should i look for to see if I got any of the other A-Spec toys.

Thanks

Mark

yah thats definitely the A-spec bodykit. well the A-spec kit also includes a steering wheel, rims, badges and suspension. the first 3 i named are pretty obvious to determine, but the suspension idk.

Thanks for the blessing, But someone has to do it and look at the toys it lets me get.

It looks like I just have the body kit on mine because I see no badging any where on the car and the stearing wheel to me look like any other wheel, rims also look to me to be same as others just took some more pictures of car side view and rims will up load them to the www.bento.org site under the acura page in mark and joannes place for your viewing but even if it is just the body kit the car looks great and it is fun to drive so it works for me and my wife. Now if there was only a body kit for my caddy DTS then that would be fun

Thumbs up Props.....

Definitely not A-Spec wheels, so the original owner probably just had the body kit put on....still looks damn good man I'm pretty sure if it was a full A-Spec car, you'd have the AS badge on the trunk. Going to try and get mine put on next weekend, along with CF CSL spoiler and TL-S tails/side markers

Name of dealer that I got the car from is there. I would have normaly taken that off, but as I am friends with his son I feel that its only right to give him a little PR don't you think?
