RSX Shopping

[darolh]

OK, I've been lookin' at what's gonna replace my Si and it looks like an RSX-S is going to be the machine. I just went to the car show and checked everything out. RSX seems to have come out on top. Now here's the deal. The sales twit at the show knew less about RSXs than me (typical). The car they had on display had a bunch of extra stuff that wasn't on the sticker such as 17" wheels, aero kit, and what I assume is a type R wing and he claimed some suspension stuff (shocks, springs). He referred to it as "A type kit" or some nonsense. He had to go somewhere and ask after I called hom on the fact that all the goodies were on a 24k sticker car that didn't list them. Is this an Acura package or is this blowing smoke and it's a bunch of crap some dealer has just bolted on?

I have to admit it looked pretty nice.

i read something about that, it's called the a-spec hfp package. but I think they are only putting it on tl's and tsx's. there's an article about it at www.vtec.net. It's the newest article about the sema car show.

Thanks for the help. That info get me where to look. $4800 + instl costs. Apparently the RSX kit was announced last year.
