first and foremost welcome! you should try and use the "search" function as it will be your biggest aid. anyways, some of the better bang for the buck mods have to be: hondata ecu reflash, rear sway bar, and cold air intake. good luck ...

Welcome to AZ dude. You came to the right place for info about modding and everything else Acura. Just try searching before posting new threads. More than likely it's been covered before. Good luck.

Have you added your name to the list for the illuminated door sills? I believe they are in pre-production stages right now, and we need 50 people to commit to buying them before they become a reality (we're at 36-37 right now). Find the thread in the Performance & Parts section and add your name .

LOL, and in that vain, how about some stickers. I hear you could get anywhere from 2 to 8 hp per sticker depending on how big and obnoxious looking they are.

One of our vendors, Mr. Heeltoe can provide you with these so called "Jay Dee Em Headlights."

WHATS WRONG WITH STICKERS? I ADDED 4 FOR 5+ HP GAINS ON EACH STICKER.

Manual or auto?

If manual, the Skunk2 shift knob is a quick and easy mod.

modding is fun but its really what ur after that counts. don't just do a mod bcoz everyone else is doin it . torque wise ur best bet is a hondata reflash. you might also want to check these threads for more info.

is there a reason EVERY time on this forum someone asks what mods to do there has to be at least 4 posts about "rice" and "stickers" Gets old fast.....

As far as mods are concerned:

Performance:
hondata reflash
CAI
sway bar to help the TSX's obscene body roll
headers (combo with CAI gets the most out of reflash)
exhaust if you want the sound and look

Style:
tints
trunk lip
if you want JDM headlights get the JDM lips, taillights, and emblem conversions or you'll look silly

that's my .02

We have a lot of great vendors here. Excelerate, MrHeelToe, Tech-toyz (for LEDs), etc etc. Spend some time in the Black Market section in Sponsored Group Buys.

BTW, welcome. There is more information here than most can fathom. Soo many mods, so little time.
