TL A-spec

Anyone have the TL A-spec?

1. How much did it end up costing you?
2. Any significant driving differences?
3. Do they boost the engine power?
4. Worth it?
5. Comments?

3. Do they boost the engine power? NOPE.. it just Suspension, wheels, and steering wheel and Bodykit ( Skirts. front, sides, and rear..4. Worth it? Hmmm cant really say... You will have both opinions around here..
5. Comments? The one comment you will hear around here is its not worth getting it from dealer. Charge TOO much for it. its better to get it after. Maybe just Bodykit, and get aftermarket Springs. and wheels Search Ebay. And wait for these guys to comment also.

If you can afford I would get it. I havent seen a single A-spec other than mine, which makes my TL stick out. Do a search in the forum for A-Spec, this topic has been posted to exhaustion. By the way are you Muslim Samir, guessing by your name and 786 I am almost postive.

all enterprises: nice pics of white aspec.

Yes, I too am considering the aspec. I have only seen one anthracite aspec on the road. My dealer does not have the 05 aspec yet. He offered the 04 spec for $4800. I'll wait for the '05 aspech which has the lighter colored rims.

1) $5200 installed (at dealer, as part of car purchase)
2) You feel more imperfections in the road, but to some (including me) this is a good thing. Stiffer suspension helps on cornering as well. I also feel the VSA kicking in now as before the car just felt a little weird when the VSA kicked in.
3) As said, no. No Drivetrain or breathing changes at all. Look into the many Intakes now available. If your gonna drop $4000-$5000 on A-Spec, another $300-500 for intake shouldnt hurt that bad.
4) For me, yes. For others, who knows. Some say they would only buy the body kit, and then do the rest using non Acura parts. Then use Aftermarket shocks n Springs, wheels, etc. RonJon is also working on an aftermarket body kit though. My advise to others is unless you love the A-Spec, you prolly shouldnt get it with the car. You can always do it later, or swap in Aftermarket parts instead of Full A-Spec.
5) Nothing that hasnt been said.
