M5 Lip spoiler, Brushed Aluminum grill surround (dont ask me how, sworn to secrecy on this one. Ask SubtleDreamer, maybe he'll tell you), lowering springs, 3A exhaust tips, Civic/Accord foglight mod for 99-01,
DE-PINSTRIPE!!! (if you have it)
tint, rockblocker tail-tint, 02-03 tails, debadge 3.2TL, debadge "A C U R A" (only if you're going to replace with something, though) , cleared/black-housing headlights, body-matched grill surround (if not brushed aluminum as above), fix b-pillars if they are flaking.

Lastly....dawn dish soap + scratch-X + clay-bar + polish + wax
These are "cheap" exterior mods compaired to wheels and kit.

Hope that helped with some ideas

Dents all round. All you need is a foot and your car. LOL One of the best mods you can do (if not done already) Transmission oil cooler.

aka wetsanding, haha. I can't believe I wanted to keep that from everyone back when the thread was posted. Don't see what's so utterly special about that mod, but it looks good!

Well, when I bought my TL it had some ugly pinstripes on it. I took them off the next day and it looks 100% cleaner. It was a cheap mod but also a pain in the arse.
