It needs to be lowered and those rims look too big for that car. If it's lowered with those rims there might be need for modifications to the fenders. I say make the rims one size smaller and lower it.
The lower part of the front bumper just doesn't flow, maybe if they took out those screens it would look better.
What is the expected output of the A-spec? Acura is getting pretty big horsepower out of their V6s, I wonder if they continue to push they will have the same problems as the current M3 (high oil consumption and engine failures). I guess the same could be said of Nissan/Infiniti's V6 engines. They are pushing close to 300 hp now, can they go much further than 350 without sacrificing reliability for a production engine that's supposed to last well past 100,000 miles?

in terms of power, if it's something like the a spec package available for the tl now, then it has no power gain, just lower a bit and then aero stuff. not sure if it's a concept true a spec generation though

I agree with the comments about the wheels being too big. Make them at least an inch smaller, get rid of those rubber bands and put on a little higher-profile tire, and the car will look fine.

Given that the base RL rides on 245/50/17 tires - this A-spec seems kinda dubious in its performance potential.

The rims are 20" rims not 21". There are other pictures floating around and I'm pretty sure I can read 20" on the tires themselves. I couldn't make out what the width or aspect ratio was though.
