Their a-spec prices are crazy. Saw the 2 door one (christ i am having a brain fart the integra replacement) and it stickered for 32k?????????? uhmm no. How about an STI for that much. 2k is about all i would pay for that stuff.

Since iv'e seen the rsx type s for 23,000, how could a body kit wheels tires etc be 9 grand. Makes no sense.

well the main thing is for 9 grand you can get a shyt load of stuff more than just the body kit, rims, tires & suspension
for 9 g's you can get
Volk Wheels ~ about $2500 with decent tires
Suspension
Tein Coilover ~ $1000 (Shocks, Springs)
Camber Kit ~ $300
Sway bar ~ $300
Engine
Headers ~ $400
Intake ~ $300
Exhaust ~ $700
Exterior
Body Kit ~ $2000 (painted)
CF Hood ~ $500
Total: $8000 with $1G to spare for instalation of parts and other stuff
these prices are estimates of course but i may have over estimated some things a lil bit.
i feel sorry for the sucker that buys it.

you really don't end up paying that much less. I used aftermarket suppliers and applied the cost i'd pay for.
Cost over the standard TL (34,000) is about 5gs. I'm sure you could negotiate the price down a grand. Nonetheless....it's not as bad as one would think. Moreover when it comes time to sell the car you don't have to worry about swapping parts, selling or taking a hit on the install cost that you'll never be able to recover.
It's a pretty good deal if you ask me. I wish there was more power thrown in the mix but i'm sure they'll offer it in the future.

comon who wouldnt buy a 32k rsx over a evo, sti, 350z, r32, rx8 etc. i know i would. Since iv'e seen the rsx type s for 23,000, how could a body kit wheels tires etc be 9 grand. Makes no sense.
that's where the 9's comes from, he brought up the point of the rsx being way too overpriced. so i replied to that comment, not about the tl
