Depends what you want... a little more oomph or better handling? Personally I went for the intake first... springs are next on the list!!

Oh and BTW... I think he meant either you or the car....

Welcome, welcome! Love your username. Hee, hee, I just read your "location" phrase, too. Too funny.

Anyway, I believe you need to tell us more info about your car. You've mentioned your exterior color... but nothing else. Navi, Onstar, or no Navi? Interior color? New, used? etc. How many miles on it?

And, as you get to know us you'll find that posting your location isn't a bad/creepy thing... it usually helps folks answer your questions better since they know what part of the country you're in! (unless your town has only 1 NBP TL-S in it! )

As for your first mod, that's up to you! You've gotta decide if looks, handling, or speed is what motivates ya! Decide that and lots of opinions will come your way!

Later,

V.

Just to clarify things... you never said that you were a female. You just asked if there were females on the board. Heh, heh, Dark Angel *could* refer to that vampire dude. We're all just assuming it refers to the cool, sexy, "Don't mess with me or I'll kick your arse!" girl.

Feel free to tell us which team (men or women) you're batting for!

Thanks for all your replies. I am pretty sure I am a female last time I checked. Just want to let you guys know that I am 22 and I am kinda of new with all these modding. My old car was a Civic and I never did anything to it. So, I a planning to do some mods with the TL. It is a brand new 03' TLS without navi I think I will get the springs and then the bodykit to start it off. I live in NJ by the way and might need someone to help me with the modding. Any takers?? Hmm.. TypeSDragon and BlackShadow?? Help!! Thanks! -Jessica

I'm impressed! From a Civic to a TL-S at 22. Wish I could have done that. At 22 I was driving a Nissan Sentra. But, hey, *I* thought it was cool!

By the way, think about putting some Comptech (anti-)sway bars on your ride, as well. You'll love the difference in handling and I don't remember sacrificing any ride quality. Springs, on the other hand, will definitely change the "cushiness" you're experiencing now. You may want to catch a ride with someone who has springs just so you can know what you're getting into. I have 'em, and so do a lot of others... but they took me a while to get used to!

You guys are too funny! Didn't mean to make this personal, but looks like there are a lot more TL owners who are men. And I know how you men think? Anyways, since TypeSDragon and BlackShadow are not responding, I guess I will look for others to help me. I think I gonna order the bodykit and going to install it myself.

Awww darnit...another girl to the TL camp...I think she just didn't see the CL or something...I know you really wanted a CL-S... . I would recommend springs first! Nothing like nice handling and sweet looking drop...if you have some real $$money$$ to throw around I would recommend getting Tein coilovers (groupbuy in effect http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...5&pagenumber=1) These babies are nice! I got me a set on order. If you don't have $850 to spend...get the CAI, you'll love it too...nothing like the sound of VTEC to get the blood going eh? Well welcome anyways...
