a-spec package price?

At work and don't have time to search but does anyone know the price of the full A-spec package (wheels, suspension, spoiler, underbody spoiler, badging, steering wheel, etc.)?

My dealership was charging an extra $6,900 for the entire package (which is why I couldn't afford it when I bought the car! LOL.).

My dealer charges $5k, but if you piece it together yourself and install it yourself, you can do it for well under $4k, I believe.

My breakdown was as follows:
Body Kit 815
Suspension 750
Rims 1200
Tires 600
Steering wheel 333
decklid spoiler 310

Parts Total $4008

Labor
Suspension 400
Steering Wheel 150

Total Spent on A-Spec Kit: $4558

I saved about $1200 from buying in pieces on ebay instead of buying the kit from the dealer. PLUS, i have Toyo T1R tires that are better than those yoko ES100's.

^^^ Yeah, that's why I revised my post to "about" from "well under"...forgot about shipping expense...just missed the cut off to edit. $4,008 qualifies as about $4k in my book...I didn't count labor because except for mounting the tires, a person could do it themselves (and labor rates seem to vary widely depending on where you are and who you know).

if i had to do it over again, i'd do the following.

RonJon bodykit 2400
RonJon wheels/tires 1700
Eibach Prokit 200

Total Parts $4300

your overall appearance is much more unique than the a-spec kit and your only paying a slight bit more.

however, i do have an acura tl a-spec and i am sure it will be reflected in the resale better than a ronjon TL. i didn't sacrifice any ride quality with the a-spec suspension, but it was more expensive.

hope this helps and potential buyers

2400 for the RJ body kit???? i thought someone told me it was upwards of like 5000... 2400 isn't bad for a kit like that...

even with that new update on the price, i'm still kinda iffy about replacing the bumpers....i kind of want my car to say 100% acura...maybe even make it a sleeper car with performance mods down the road.... i dunno that was just the plan i had but like anything, plans can be changed

If a body kit cost $5000US, it better be unbreakable and fully stone chip proof.

The RJ kit costs $1500 unpainted + shipping + installation + paint < $5k. I would guess around $3k.

More info on the RonJon kit here: http://www.ronjonsportdesign.com/tlkit.html

i don't see why not. even if they don't, it is not a hard install. it has to be easier than that of the a-spec kit.....
