New '03 TLS Nav
I just got my new '03 TLs + Nav. I'm psyched!
I have learned alot reading all your posts here-Thanks
What do you think are the first thing I should I do to it?
Are there any things I should think about as far as wheels are concerned?
Thanks for all the info

It's silver, rear spoiler and mud flaps. Didn't want the flaps but had to tkae them. I got it at Bellevue Acura. Paid 30 for it.
I am going for a combination of show and go, but not too flashy, more classy.
I haven't got any pics yet, but its totally stock so you have seen it 1000 times. I will soon though
Thanks for the imput

Congrats man!!
Since you have the OEM mud flaps, if you plan on keeping them on the car, take the front ones off, and install some 3M film behind them. The OEM flaps will rub right through the paint. I cut some 3M film so that it is just about 1/8" bigger then the flap, stuck it on then reinstalled the flaps. So far, no problems. If you don't do this, it won't be long before you start seeing primer along the trailing edge of the flaps.

Wheels and Tires
First, Congrats! I was really excited when I got mine. I got a Silver TL-S came with mud flaps, +Navi. I got it last may, paid 32 for it.
Anyway, enough about my car. I definitely think that you should change the tires. If you want to keep the rims (personally, I think the rims on the TL-S are the hottest things i've ever seen). You could sell them for ALOT. Each tire is almost $200. If you don't want to keep the rims, just sell them together. DEFINITELY upgrade to high perf tires though. Let us know how it goes. HAVE FUN! -Shawn

I have a 2003 TL-S with Navi too... nice car bro! I would go for the OEM body kit as first thing (the first thing I did to mine) and they for some bulbs (if you are into that look). But the body kit is a must... changes the car's look and makes it a hell lot more sportier!
