Next Mod

Just got new rims and I'm lookin at either Tsudo Exhaust Mufflers (which is a replica of the Greddy SP2), Spoiler (not sure what kind but probably just the lip), 02-03 Tail, or maybe a Cold Air Intake. What should be my next mod, or in what order should I do them?

Of the available choices, I say go with CAI, 02-03 tails, mufflers, spoiler.

It will probably need a drop as well.

CAI it is...I will be getting my rims installed Friday (18" Voxx Monzas). The manager at Discount Tire told me it would take about a week to get them, because they need to be shipped from corporate headquarters...ITALY! O and even though a CAI is my next mod...I just got back to the custom grille job with the gutter guard and it looks awesome...I didn't even bother opening up the grille to sandwich the dang thing in there. I just cut out precise pieces for above and below the acura logo and that chrome bar...and very precise even though I just eyeballed it...then I spray painted it twice over with the ssm paint that I got as touch up paint and then fastened it on to the grille...It looks so cool. It looks stock even from real close up. I will have pictures for it on Friday or Saturday when I get my calipers painted red and the new 18's on...

going by your future mods list i would say go with the drop its the biggest/expensive mod you have lined up, and after that its just some little finishing touches.....although the calipers would be easier to paint befoe the car is lowered.....or you could try and kill two birds with one stone and do em at the same time.....

Just got a call from Discount Tire and they just got my rims in and I'm getn them installed tomorrow afternoon. I'll prolly take some pictures tomorrow night. Along with the red calipers, I'll also have my custom gutter guard grille. And I'm only gunna do some small stuff as mods for the next year cuz I might actually get another car next year when I graduate. I'm prolly going out of state for school and I need a car with less miles. My bro will probably buy the TL off me and I'll take all my removeable mods off, only one I think that can't be removed is the tint and move it to the other car. I love Acura and I'm lookn at those first. I want a stick so maybe I'll just knock two doors off and get a CL-S 6-Speed, an 04+ TL if I can really plead with my dad, or a 02-03 TL-S. Other than that I might buy my cousins Silver '99 BMW M3, but I'm not too sure about the reliability on this one. But otherwise I'm really happy with my TL and I should have pics up soon. Thanks for all the help 2 guys...

Yeah, I got the 18" Voxx Monzas...they are black with a chrome center cap and chromed lip...it took a couple days cuz the manager said they needed to be shipped from Italy...so that seems really cool. I want to drop my car so bad but I need money in my pocket for the rest of summer...lol. You know. I got this girl and another girl. Gotta look out for number 2. No matter who or what it is, but yeah I see what ur saying and it's definitly a must.
