The thing is you need to build it the way you like and what people like. Search this site, there is a lot of very helpful information.

Haha, after installing air suspension and having a few problems, I am now shaking my head and saying "I should go back to stock" but I'm glad that I made that decision instead of wondering how it would have been. End of the day yes, maintenance over mods.

Why would you build one yourself instead of finding one that Acura already built for you?

You'll have WAY more luck in the TL section... so I'll move this there for you.

That way you can connect with other 3G TL owners and can search that section for information on the mods you're looking for. Good luck!

What did you want done? A quality coil will be almost half of that 2k.

Would that 2k include install?

An OK set of wheels and tires brand new will cost you atleast 1200-1300..

Not unless he's near 200K, he certainly needs motor mounts and LCA bushings first.

No, the factory service recommendation is way too early, any Acura tech worth his salt will tell you that. 180K is about when you should start thinking about a timing belt change.
