Pic request: aspec without the suspension?

Does anyone have pics of a aspec TL without the suspension? Just the aspec kit and "18 wheels? By how much does the suspension lower the car anyways? Thanks guys.

I can tell you that the A-Spec suspension lowers the car exactly 1/2". They say it lowers it 1" but that's not been the feedback from others as well.

I can point you to some before A-Spec and after A-Spec shots of my car if you would like to see.

I will tell you though that the ride is much better with the A-Spec suspension mod. Still very smooth and comfortable but responsice when you need it to be.

Nice pictures in that gallery...I noticed that the Aspec badge is on top right...isn't it supposed to be on bottom right?

Also, (related note) the Texas emblem should be on bottom left..that's clearly not what is shown on the acura site...

m hmmm

The only parts I would consider A-Spec parts would be the Suspension, Steering wheel and of course, the Badge.

If your not putting on the entire Kit, I woulnt consider the Car to be an A-Spec.
If you want the Body kit and wheels, thats fine, but people on this forum seem to refer to them as "A-Spec wheels and A-Spec body kit"

Arg, not sure why I bothered to post. I'm going back to my Robitussin enduced stupor now.

http://search.ebay.com/Acura-TL-Body-Kit

Any Acura Dealer can also provide them, but they may be reluctant to ship overseas.
Curry Acura in New York or Falconi Acura in Las Vegas are ones that often sell items on eBay. So if you would rather deal with a Dealer than a no nam eBay'r then you may want to hit them up.

PS: Does your country (you didnt specify) give you any shit for importing from the states like the states do when importing from overseas? Or is the US Government so Anal that if it passes spec here it passes everywhere else?
