18" Ebony A-specs came today, courtesy of the great deal at Findlay Acura... paired them with 235/40/18 Goodyear Eagle GT... setup looks amazing, and the outer lip on the goodyears should do a great job protecting from the ever-dreaded curb rash...

The weather here today is shitty (just like everything else in IL) but there was no way I was gonna let these things sit in my garage... so, in the middle of an april snow shower, my ass is outside with tires and a torque wrench!! Now for some pics!....

OLD: 3 weeks ago, bringing her home...


TODAY'S PRESENT:


NOW: 3 weeks later, with Full A-spec body kit, 18" A-Specs, and Type-S tails...




... Tint, deck spoiler and suspension to come... really enjoying how well she's comin along!

 

Nice Present, Enjoy

 

nice ride man!! shes def. coming along nicely...

 

nice aspecs really make a difference in a car

 

very nice man.. its going to look 1000X's better once you drop it

 

Lookin great!

 

how much were they?

 

Very nice! I love and hate seeing pics with A-Specs since they look hot, but it is more temptation to spend almost 2K on them including tires...lol. Your ride will give me a very good idea of what mine would look like in the future, up until the suspension anyway (I don't see me doing that)

 

I think i remember him saying $1800 shipped in another thread...very good price with tires, mounted, balanced etc...

 

lookin good man!...where in central IL are u located? 6SPD FTMFW!!

 

$1800 shipped was the price...good memory PSULou.... took a long week to get here from Las Vegas, but they were very well protected... Clint at Findlay Acura did a great job wrapping them up... took about a half hour to get them all unwrapped!

All in all, I thought it was a great deal for the Rims, Tires, TPMS, mounted/balanced/filled/shipped, etc. They got here at 2PM and were on my TL by 4pm!

 

I'm down in Springfield...and it blows.... anything south of Joliet seems kinda the red-headed stepchild of Illinois... the nearest dealer to me is either north to Peoria or south to STL. Gotta try to get up to Chi-town to one of the meets someday, but its had for me to do b/c I work weekends....

 

WOW....thats not too bad...ive spun a cpl clubs and private events in peoria in the past 3 months....boring drive i must say...lol. but defintely try to make it up here to one the many meets this spring/summer

 

3 weeks old, and she has all those presents already?...she's one spoiled TL! I wish i could say the same, haha...in time i guess. After all, patience is a virtue.

She is definitely looking good though

 

nice transformation..looks good

 

looks good, I vote for de-badge!

 

looking really good! those a-specs made a huge difference. 1800$, now thats a good deal

 

your car looks great! where did you get the underbody kit

 

Aspec body kit from Prestige Acura in socal... bought it during their 'march madness' special...

 

Grrr!! I want A-Spec wheels so bad

 

made a big diff.. keep it up

 

nice work, my fellow IL friend.

 

very niceee

 

" Ebony A-specs came today, courtesy of the great deal at Findlay Acura
I got the same wheels and they look clean on an Carbon Bronze TL-S... Clint is the guy to go to

 

Nice transition pictures...keep up the good work.

 

Come to the meet so you can show her off

 

Car is lookin real nice, which suspension do you plan on getting?

 

If you are shooting for a deck lid spoiler then I strongly suggest going for the type S one rather than the regular deck lid spoiler. The regular deck lid spoiler doesnt even look half as good as the type S one .

 

^ JnC, you never showed more the bolts you used for the ends of your type-s spoiler. Can you PM me?

 

Looks really nice. I plan on getting these also but i have to wait for the ATLP base exh. to be finished so i can pay the remainer. Yea for only 3 weeks old I'd say she's comin along nicely!

 

got any pics of the difference between the regular deck lip spoiler and the type-s??? from what i've read, the regular one only has two bolts and is an accessory, so comes with mounting hardware and instructions while the type-s has six bolts and is considered factory, so it doesnt come with hardware or instructions.... is this right???


BTW, JnC, cleared headlights are on the agenda a few months down, should be PM'ing you about those... i dont think i want to tackle that mod!

 

The regular lip spoiler is about 1" in width, the type S one is almost three and also curves around the lip of the trunk.

Here are some pictures I took before the install.

notice the width and overhang







Also, let me know about the headlights

 

Looks nice man

 

+1- IMHO- and there are several close 2nds....buuuuutt...these look the BEST on our cars. A-SPEC FTW ALLDAY

 

Are those the Gun Metal colored Aspecs?? I have the same color Car and am looking at getting a det but can not decide between Chrome, Silver and the Gun Metal!! Thanks Man

 

They look like the Ebony Finish on the A-Specs
