yes and no. yes because its awesome and you will have it now, but no because you could buy it all later and install yourself for much cheaper...

don't do the aspec kit via the dealership - i believe after install it comes out to be $6,000; if my memory serves me correctly. I recommend piecing it together yourself. go ask tim - www.hondacuraworld.com; plus you have the opportunity to get a better set of coilovers than the factory aspec suspensions...just my opinion though

why? no arms, no tools, or no space? its not that hard, and there instructions found on this sight with great detail and tips. but even if you take it somewhere, it will still probably be cheaper than the dealership.

If you are getting the 08 type S, this is the pieces that come with the A-Spec package:
Bodykit
Rims
Suspension
Badging

Getting the package from the dealer now is not worth it. Like the other poster said, its almost 6K from the dealer. You can buy the stuff for much cheaper:
Bodykit : 835
Suspension: 850
Badging: 20
Rims: 1200-2500.

My personal suggestion is not to go with the a-spec rims, they are heavy and it isn't worth the money in my opinion. Go with a set of aftermarket 18's or 19's. It will look better, and it will be cheaper too.

personally, i would just get the A-spec bodykit and badges of theyre hot. ive never seen them though. i like my type s stock rims, teins are better than the aspec suspension ( i think), and thats basically it.

Maan..I can't wait to get the A-SPEC package- especially the body kit! It fits so well, and ultimatley sets the car off SO aggressive looking- and personally I love the A-SPEC rims- too heavy or not- their sick. The only other rims that I would consider is the Ronjon Inspire's- but none the less- A-SPEC FTW ALL DAY LONG

the a-spec kit in itself is a factory produced add-on; it's strictly cosmetic - makes your car look a whole lot sleeker
