Sold my 02' Si(R), got a 03' TL Type S A Spec [PICS]
Wasn't sure whether to post here or in gallery so I did both. 
Recently got myself a TL Type S A Spec and loving it!
next to my buddy's CL-S, when it was stock.
now it's lowered, tinted and w/ AEM CAI.
aluminum trimmed dash
black & blue trimmed leather
running lights on spoiler
aluminum step plates
body coloured headlight housings
thinking about UR pulleys next.

A-Spec is a limited run trim level for the TL Type S. One year run only and just 800 were made.
Basically a customized TL-S.
Custom blue & black leather trim throughout the interior (seats, steering wheel)
aluminum shift knob with blue leather trim.
aluminum side step plates
aluminum trim throughout the dash and interior
some funky running lights on the unique tail spoiler.
Unique 7 spoke 17" aluminum rims.
only comes available in nighthawk black or agean blue.
euro side marker lights
body coloured center grille and door handles
full body kit
fog lights
Even comes with a custom fitted leather car coat which you order to your size when ordering the car, with a metal tag engraved with your A-Spec # of 800 and name, etc. I'm still waiting for my coat to arrive.
All TL's (in Canada at least) are Steptronic only.
Only the CL Type S is available with 6 spd.
I wish the TL-SA had a 6 spd option, I'd definitely get it!
But it's nice to be able to drive around in the auto once in a while as all my other cars are stick.

Too bad they didn't offer it in the US. I like pretty much everything other than the seats, I like the perforated better there. Did they offer a better shift knob for the 6-spd CL in the A-spec? The plain leather knob seems somewhat disappointing in the US version, I may get a MOMO one someday.
How much extra for the A-spec when new?

Only $1400???!!!
Is that price over a regular TL-S or a TL-S with body kit and spoiler? If it is just a regular TL-S That's an excellent deal! Body kit and spoiler would come out to more than $1400 I'm sure not to mention the jacket.

but if you get the black a spec, you get black headlight housing.

very nice
quick question, is the alumnium trim on the dashboard, i.e. radio and a/c controls aftermarket ? If they are, do they match the side aluminum trim from acura well? Also, is the alumnium trim in the TL-S aspec the same as those found in the 03 cl-s w/the black interior?
thanks

Very nice!!! My local dealership has a blue A-Spec.
I love it -- but can't justify selling my 01 CL-S since I still have a way to go on payments still!
Damn I'm jealous!
