Yooooooooo... What are the cheapest mods u can do on a TL 99 ???? DIY plzzz.... Thanxxxxxxx

 

Yoooooooooo....do a search or start reading posts.

What's cheap to someone else might not be cheap to you.

Here's two hints. Chrome shift plate, KN drop in filter

 

debadge and remove airbox...they're free

 

chrome eww

 

Original, dull gray shift plate.....ewwwwwww

 

what are you looking for?? HP mods cosmetic mods?

 

Air freshener, remove intake resonator, debadge, tint your tails, custom grill, change turn signal bulbs for chrome ones, change interior lights.
All those mods around 20 bux.

 

paint engine/ calipers

just by a can of engine/caliper spray paint for $7-12 at auto supply store near you

cheap to do but a lot of work

 

well, from most members' experiences, its starts out cheap, with time you end up spending thousands, at least I am in that category. One you start, it is SO HARD to stop, lol

Good Luck, and enjoy modding.

I would say for you, start with tints, short ram intake, remove the resonator. Then getting rid of stock shitty radio...speakers, nice head unit, sub. Then you can already move on to rotors and good pads. And then and then and then, you'll get the idea: headers, exhaust, rims, kit..and on and on Start out small and slow, there is no rush. but the main thing is to enjoy!

 

does anyone have pictures of jobs that were done WELL, after removing the stock head unit, I have seen some horrible jobs done, because of the oversized DIN,

where is a good place to get a well fitted DIN

 

please dont mind the dirt :[

in that pocket that comes with the new kit, i put that 6 inch neon inside at the bottom, so that pocket is lit now, especially when i put my stuff in there, i can see them at night, i'll take pix later.

and by the way, Metra Kit is what u need.

 

KN Drop in filter??? What is that??? FIll me in anyoneeee

 

Lookin for cosmetic mods...any suggestions?

 

What is Intake Resonator for? and HOw do you remove it????? TInt your tails...that's a cool idea...can anyone show me the way?????

 

Change the stock disposable air filter to a reusable high-flow filter made by K&N. Sold at most auto parts stores.

 

The intake resonator is this big box behind the front bumper on the driver's side. The air gets sucked in from the cooler fender area and goes into the resonator box before going thru the filter and into the throttle body. The resonator muffles the sound of the stock intake and restricts airflow a bit. Taking it out, I got a low hum from the intake.

To take it out, remove a part of the splash guard under the car in front of the left wheel. Remove the bolts - don't remember how many, and pull the resonator out.

 

Does removing the resonator improve performance or give a different kind of muffled sound???

 

Ok removing the resonator doesnt really improve hp but it'll give u better air flow and some sound. As far as tinting your tails do a search for "redout tails". You should find something.

 

coollll....but is removing the resonator illegal tho', i heard from my friend it is but not sure....can anyone fill me in
thanks

 

No sir, either way whos gonna know.

 

yooo...thanks a lot for the info i have been reading the threads about the intake resonator. i have seen the instructions. but it is not detailed enough and i tried to go to the links where it gives you instructions how to remove it but the page isnt available anymore .so can any one give a very detailed instruction of hwo to remove it . i know it s easy and stuffs but still....want to be clearer thxxxxxx

 

i just looked at my car...how do u remove the four clipsss....what do u use??????

 

SWAP YOUR TAILLIGHTS FOR 2003 STYLE ONES!!

costs around 150-200+ depending where you get it

 

There are two concentric circles. Stick a flat screwdriver under the notch near the inner circle, and pop the inner circle outward. Once it's up a bit, you should be able to pull on the outer circle outward, and the whole clip should come up
