When will Acura discontinue 3rd Gen Accessories?

Does anyone have any idea how much longer before certain accessories for our 3rd gen TL's become discontinued?

I am most concerned about the A-SPEC kit.

I think they do it 2-3 years after the car production. That's what they did with the 2g

This may be wrong but I remember in the past that automakers had to make parts for cars for up to 7 years after that model was finished production.

Those are replacement parts. And I thought it was ten years.

Regardless, it won't apply to "Accessories".

Why wouldn't it? I mean what happens when somebody with an A-spec TL gets into an accident?

^ I guess it's because it doesn't happen as often as someone needing a part.

i dont think they'll be running out of them any time soon. consider the body shops that get acura TL's years down the road that need parts replaced. what about them? parts like that will be around for a long time, IMO.
