It's all the parts that attach to the bottom of the car (front, sides, and rear bumper). It does not include the wing spoiler on the top of the trunk.

Congrats on the new car, BTW.

The A-Spec kit changes the whole look of the car. It's probably my favorite part of my car.

I'm jealous of the black roof. Hopefully I'll have mine done by the end of the year.

yes - the switch is on the wiper stalk that comes off of the steering wheel, right next to the headlight switch.
