rsx a-spec
I am at the dealer now waiting for my oil change, and just looked at the 04 rsx a-spec. WTF over 5 grand for the a-spec. All it has from what i know is 17 inch wheels, firmer springs, yokohama es100 tires, and the factory body kit. No shocks, no engine work, and no interior work wtf. Even the a-spec tl has interior mods like 2 tone leather and shit. I hope they dont sell a single one, i cant stand these bs packages acura is trying to put out now. So lets see for 5 grand so lets say 2 gs for 17 inch acura wheels hahah, 2 grand for factory body kit hahah, then you still have over a grand left for springs and tires that are 100 a piece. I also just saw the tl with the 18 inch wheels. They want 1700 for the acura wheels omfg. I could get some 18 inch bbs lms for that price what bs. Im sure this has been discussed before, so i apologize for reposting now. Just cant believe this shit.

Worst part part is that you can't even buy them seperately!?!

But $5,000 for a "performance package" that doesn't touch to engine is stupid anyway.

Another way of cheating the system is basically going in to the dealer and saying I have an 04 RSX Type S w/ the A-spec package and I was driving and hit a deep crater in the road. Tell them u blew out the struts or bent the rims and would like to purchase new ones. Trust me...they won't say u have to spend 5K on the whole package all over again. They can't. Maybe they're just strict about piecing it together when u buy the car new from them. But like I said go in after and say u broke/bent/blew-out something and want to purchase new ones. Tell them ur gonna do the installation ur-self and they will sell it to u.

One thing for certain, you're NOT politically correct: Your use of the term "jew" is insulting to Jews. What are you some kind of nazi?

Oh lay off the poor guy. I dont think he meant it to purposely insult jewish people. Yes its not politically correct, but I seriously doubt everyone is politically correct all the time either.
He just used a term for "acura is ass raping you"

ANYWAY, I do agree that Honda is selling a weak 'bill of goods' for a premium with the FP (or A-spec) RSX packages. Especially when there's a great Type R model avail in Japan that would DEFINITELY sell well here (i.e.: WRX, Evo, etc,...). Sidenote: Honda also needs to drop the current Si and import the CTR while they're at it.
Peace

I saw a black one at the dealer this morning. It looked nice enough, but for $5495, or whatever it was...$4,100 plus installation, according to one of the business managers...I think I'll pass. I told him that it was a nearly-30k Integra. He didn't seem very amused.

I also sat in an '04 TL. Quite a nice interior, but I'm still not feeling the exterior. The interior is so much more snug than my '98 3.2 TL-P. I realize Acura is trying to achieve something different with this TL, but it's considerably smaller inside than I expected. I'd like to drive the 6-speed to see how it is, though.
