TL-S A-Spec Kit Sourcing

Searched a bit on the forum and didn't see anything recent about this (correct me if i'm wrong). Been wanting to get an A-Spec kit for my car as I think the stock look is fine, but could be better. However on the few sites I've searched they've either been sold out or only sell the front lip; some not OEM as well which is not favorable. Does Acura still supply these kits and if not does anyone have a place they've purchased from recently that they'd recommend? Thanks in advance.

You'll have to buy a black one (new from acura) or buy a used one. Most places do not have any other colors and acura is only making the black painted parts as far as I know. Try contacting acuraoemparts.com or Mr. Heeltoe @ Heeltoe automotive and they can help!

I appreciate the clarification. I'll try to contact Acura as well as Heeltoe/AcuraOEM this week and grab a quote. Been wanting the full kit so it's made it a bit difficult to find lol i've only had the car a month but I find myself looking and knowing a kit will perfect it.

The only thing available about 2 months ago is the front lip either in black or white. Other than that you will have to source it used.

Okay, I'll keep a lookout and see if any pop up. I'll probably just start out with the front lip for now and see if I'm satisfied enough. The only part that really bothers me is the front anyhow lol

Looks very good. I think the A-Spec kit just gives it that full look. The sides and rear hasnt bothered me as much, but the stock front just looks pretty base to me personally. How much did you lower yours?

Looks clean at that height, but I understand. I'm not huge into lowering too much as I still want some practicality.I do plan on dropping mine at least 1" though.

I haven't had much time to look honestly. Probably holding off for a bit as there are some maintenance related things I want to address first.
