Looks like a lot of modified Euro-R parts bin stuff with the 18" TL wheels chromed added on.

Overall, not that impressive. I much prefer the look of the standard chin spoiler, or whatever you call it body kit.

Personally, I think the kit looks quite bad. Out of the whole thing, I only enjoy the lip spoiler, and somewhat the inside dark grey trim, which looks like its ripped right out of the A4. The steering wheel too looks like its pulled right from the A4... Acura, come on. If I wanted an A4, I would have bought one.

But you know what- i'll probably buy an Aspec badge and affix it to my trunk. Im that kind of a nerd.

All I want is for Acura to come out with a 'body modification package' for the TSX and for it to simply consist of the fender flares seen on the 'Ulitmate Accord' shown in Geneva last year.
That would look amazing.

I think i'll be waiting for a long, long time.

Edit: After careful examination (read: took a second look) I've decided all I would want from the A-Spec package on my car would be the trunk lip spoiler, aluminum footpedals, and A-Spec badging.

I'm a nerd. I know.

The TSX A-Spec doesn't look that bad, but I think the seats don't quite match for the interior though and the steering wheel looks like its from an RSX. Also, it would look better if it had a OEM spoiler.

I don't know what to say about the TL A-Spec though....its either ugly or plain.

I'm not too sure if I'm a big fan of that front bumper. I prefer the current body kit over that one. That spoiler is pretty sweet though... just what I want.

Not a big fan of chrome wheels either. but those brakes are sweet!

The concept RSX-S FP had larger slotted rotors and they did not make it to the final production version of the FP or now A-Spec pacakge so I would'nt count on half those things making it.
Looks like it needs to be lowered more too.

I would like
-those brakes and rims (non-chromed)
-Seats
-Carbon Fibre trim (if its real)
-40 more HP

Domn- how about you and I split an Aspec package? Whatever you want is what I dont.. We just just split the package and be happy with what we've got!
