Welcome

Serach the gallery section for ideas
Do led interior and/or exterior swap
Suspension drop then wheels
Exhaust - do stage mods
CAI - delete resonator or buy a cheap CAI

I know you said you are new to customizing your car, but its not difficult to create how YOU want to your car to be.

This is just my

GL and happy modding

WTF......longer mud guards???

Haha, the flaps from an STI on a TL...that would look special.

OP, like they said, spend forever browsing the photogallery. Google search starting with tl.acurazine and then whatever mod you think of. Figure out what overall direction you want to take, looks, performance, both, and then start down that route. But come up with a plan before buying a bunch of random parts that don't go well together.

Suggestions, in chronological order:
OEM A-spec lip kit (NOT eBay!)
suspension - coilovers, not springs
wheels
headlights
Custom-wrapped steering wheel (most won't bother with this, but I love mine so I figured I'd add it to the list)

Good luck!

Customizing is all about personal preference. Put whatever on it that you think looks good. There will be some who love it, some who are meh about it, and some who will say it looks horrible. Forget what others say, it's your car and you do what you want with it.

Check out the gallery section to get some inspiration if you need some.

Pretend your 16 and got you first Civic EX.

In all honesty just lower the car and it will look so much better.

No to the mudguards....... and no to the weapon r intake..get something like the AEM v2 intake, it'll sound good. A nice drop and some nice wheels with tint will look good.

I've been browsing Instagram the past few days, and there are a lot of nice TLs on there. Search the hashtags for "acuratl" and "acurazine." Also try searching "acuratl stance" on Google images.
