No photos or estimates. I had to inform the salesperson what the A Spec package was but then he took the ball and ran with it.

No, I dont know the difference. I like the look of the kit in the photos(except for the color) so I will be happy if it's the same. I would imagine it would be more subtle but either way is fine for me.

Do you know the difference between the body kit that we see in pictures and the aspec?

I doubt there is any difference. Why is that people are saying they are different anyway? I never read anything saying it would be different. Besides, what's the point in having two aero kits? I don't see it happening. Maybe I'm wrong. We'll see.

PS - I was right about the DVD movies thing.

From the first reports of the ride and drive last week, they were saying the cars with body kits weren't aspec. The idea going around was that maybe the aspec has its own body kit, and what we have been seeing was just the dealer added accesories...there was the different steering wheel that was missing and started the guesses. I don't know either to tell the truth. I was hoping there was a difference.

I thought the A-Spec is a package that is installed by the dealer? So it should just be a matter of when said package is available to the dealer.

Well, I guess there has to be some mystery left, other than prices, before they arrive!

A Spec is a dealer installed package. This dealer is the first I know of to have one available.

"Do you mean it does play DVD movies. or it does not?"

According to justin, it does not. I doubted it would the moment I read it on the Edmunds review and expressed that doubt in another thread. Seems I was correct. Could still be hacked though
