Tsx type s?

Sorry to start a new thread about this but I searched and found nothing. I was looking for a TSX on ebay and saw one that had a type s badge on the rear end. I'm a super noob to TSXs' and just wanted to know if there is such a thing from 04-08?

Nope, there is no such thing as a Type S TSX. There won't ever be one either. Here's the reason, our Acura TSX is actually based of the Honda Accord in other Markets. In these such markets the TSX is named the Honda Accord Euro R or Honda Accord Type S. Technically, our Acura TSX is already a Type S Accord or a "sports version" of the Accord.

Logically, we can't have a Type S of a Type S.

Adding the Type-S badge increases horsepower by 5%.

FYI that it might've been an "A-Spec" badge. There was an A-Spec model available from 04-08 which included 17" Alloy Wheels, A skirt package, chrome exhaust tips, a lowered sport suspension, and badges.
