Default A-Spec on Acura's?!?

What exactly is A-spec? I know they make lip kits and stuff, but where can I get these products for an Acura RSX? Thanks!

You can only get A-Spec add ons from an Acura dealer.

Imo A-spec looks kinda lame and ricer-ish. Go JDM or if anything go MUGEN or just keep it clean look. RSX's look fine as they are just get some skirts and possibly work on the rims.

A-Spec, is a dealer installed, aftermarket 'hop-up' kit, offered for certain ACURA vehicles. The best place to inquire about these kits would be at an ACURA dealer. A-Spec kits typically incorporate body fairing upgrades, upgrades to the brakes, sway bar & suspension upgrades, wheels & tires, and sometimes misc. cosmetic upgrades (e.g., the steering wheel on the TL). Also, A-Spec upgrades typically do not include upgrades to the engine / drive train. You might evaluate if you actually want all of the items offered in an A-Spec kit, and then consider if you might make more sense to purchase only those upgrades that interest you. You have lots of after-market, Acura/Honda performance options available from numerous 3rd party quality vendors. It might actually be a better choice to 'cherry pick' from among these lines...just a suggestion.

Most A-spec Acura's are only available in Canada. Acura dealers are not supposed to sell A-spec parts unless you have a VIN that indicates you have an A-spec car.
