I'd say headers. While the car wouldn't handle or look nearly as well w/out springs i still love that power in the upper RPM range.

Probably would be Wheels/Tires for me. If that technically counts as one.

Having the car look different then every other one that comes off the line is more important to me then the extra HP under the hood that headers (2nd choice) would provide.

yah impossible to just buy "one". Go ahead, buy a comptech mod and then tell me that you don't want another one within a month ... I DARE YOU

When I first bought this car I told my mom and all my friends that it would be a well maintained stock car, and thats it.

Check my sig..............

I'm the opposite, I would rather have it under the hood as it draws less attention in everyday situations. Plus, you normally don't see any difference (or lack there of) when staring at the tail lights.

comptech headers and icebox; the two together should be considered one mod.

I have to agree with Shawn as well. Sure, mods give you power.. but then you'd look like every other TL out there. The car is fairly quick stock... so I'd go rims/tires as well.

BTW, thankfully people can have more then one mod or my business would suffer

Well if you really could only get one without price mattering id have to say tein ss coilovers. You already have alot of power, the 2 things you need most is better handling and to lower the car. This does both of those. So its the best mod for handling, and best for looks imo.

If price is anywhere near being a consideration, go sways! Horspower is nice, but if it handles like a boat it's gonna get old real quick.

Adjustable suspension. Look good during Spring/Summer/Fall, and still usefull during the winter if you have to raise it up a bit.

if it was only one mod it would be the Icebox

it gives you performance for little money and is not enough to put stress on the tranny

wheels and tires are nice but without a drop they would look ridiculous

the 02' CL-S with navi would only need the Icebox I like the wheels that came on that car and the tires are easy to rotate
