Here is a call for recommendations on 2nd gen accessories before they start disappearing...

I have:
- Mud Guards (uninstalled...but now that I am not getting a kit, may reinstall)
- Trunk Tray (I like it...)
- Wheel Locks
- Blackwood Steering Wheel (will install in January with Jet recall)

Considerations:
- Shift Knob - Is there a blackwood to match the steering wheel?
- Sunroof Visor - Concerned about cutting into the paint (like mud guards)
- Mask/Bra - I only used it on long trips for previous cars...
- Car Cover - OEM or aftermarket?
- Blackwood Gauge Trim - Seems overkill on the blackwood look... leaning against
- Blackwood Vents - May be overkill, but may also be subtle enough...
- Underbody Kit - Leaning against...I like the look of the TL equally with or without the kit...

Any opinions on the above? I figure I better get the "must-haves" before they are no longer available...

 

wheels
tires

 

must haves:
oem kit, if u can find it...
mask/bra, get the xpel or 3m scotchguard clear bra, heard good things bout it.

other than that, i don't think the other things are a must have

 

the OEM kit hands down!

 

I just wish I had the $$$ to do the same.

 

i have had mine sitting in my basement just waiting for me to paint and install. the only problem is thanks to my bud flaps cutting my paint i have to find time to paint my fenders and rear bumper. and my front bumper and hood have so many stone chips in them i need to repaint those too. so finding a time to respray half my car is kinda hard.

 

Sorry to hijack fatty, 10000 almost here. Miss your old avatar, but wow, the new one is hotttt.

 

1) OEM body kit if you can find one
2) wheels / tires

The rest is if you really want them, not really a must have...

Sunroof visor will leave a mark (I have one) unless you take it off once in awhile and clean under it will you save the paint under it. (then again I am in Florida and the sun...well you know what I am talking about your in Cali)

 

Yea, I know about the mark...and I know about the sun...

I had the visor on my Integra, and it put a pretty good sized mark on the paint... In fact, it wore through some of the paint over the years...

My justification was that as long as I kept it on the car, who cared what was under it... But now that I am starting fresh, I am second guessing whether I want to do that to the car again...

Thanks to everyone for the replies... So looks like a lot of folks are pro-kit...

Perhaps I should look into whether they are still available... and what the current cost is...

 

I would get the body kit personally if it was mine.

Everything else can come later.

 

Anyone have a picture of a dropped TL-S with the OEM bodykit in Metallic Antracite?
