Newbie here with a 01 TL

Hey Ive had a TL for a while but I just recently considered fixing it up to look better. Do you guys have any suggestions to what I should do to it for example new bumpers etc. It already has 19inch rims and dark tints and it could use a paint job on certain spots. I am a complete noob when it comes to cars and I dont know where to look. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks.

Edit: Forgot to mention its a black TL lol

get the 02-03 tails first. you wont regret it. it looks SO clean. $150 on ebay or here on BM

A spoiler and ground effects will add tons to the car and make it look lower.
here for the spoiler http://www.in.honda.com/Rjanisis/pubs/AI/BII22514.pdf

then you could remove the resonator to get some good sound!! https://acurazine.com/forums/showpos...58#post1870075

maybe black out your grill https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-photograph-gallery-99/black-mesh-grille-inspired-%40cur%40-tl-555133/

thats some pretty basic stuff they the DIY section for more way to throw your moeny away. welcome to the club and kiss your savings account goodbye.

What Chris has is a OEM Acura body kit. The same body kit that fits all 99-03 EXPECT for the front lip from 02-03 ( face lift ). Now, contact Magautoparts ( Search on Ebay ), they have sides and a spoiler ( if you need it ). The rest you will have to find. Go to off topic, then private listing. That's the blackmarket area. There is also the Wingwest kit which will fit all 99-03 years. We have excerlate and Mr.Heeltoe as our two main vendors who carry everything. They are also in the blackmarket but in the group buy section ( website is available too ).

But, what do you want to do with it? Murder it like Jcharged said? Search around in the photo gallery and see for yourself.

Lol. murder means completely blacked out. Blacked out headlights / blacked out grill / Black Chorme emblems / tinted rear tail lights / Black wheels with polished lip / outer chrome trim delete ( paint to black ) / and so forth.. But what you want is pretty good.
