Hey Mark,
How much was the Comptech exhausts?
It depends if you want your car to stand out in a crowd, then go with the bodykit first. But if you want the feeling of power then go with the exhausts. IMO, I would go with the bodykit first.

------------------
1999 Acura 3.2TL w/Navi Black w/Parchment interior, Burlwood trim kit and Shiftknob, Factory spoiler, Sun/Moonroof visor, Inspire tails, 20% tint all around, Blue Sidemarkers, PIAA Plasma Blue Solitaire Series 01 foglights, Cleared corners and blue neon citylights w/superwhites highbeam, and 17" Giovanna Madrid II chrome wheels with 215/45/17x7 Falken tires, two 5.7" TVs in headrests, Pioneer PDV10 DVD player, TV/Tuner/NAV, OEM bodykit, and Apexi Coilovers

coming soon...sound system

Since you got the exhaust already, you have no choice but to order the body kit RIGHT NOW!!!

Majority rules. j/k...

You don't see many people with exhaust and no kit on the TL so your ride is still unique.
But get the kit when u get a chance.

I would have gotten the bodykit first, because of the fact the TL's paint gets affected by enviromental fallout. The later you install your kit, the more contrast you'll get, that's unless you got your paint colored matched and painted at a body shop. Then you won't have that problem.

Thumbs up

Yeah, the Kit is definitely first. That way when Jens put the exhaust on, he can bend the hooks so the exhaust looks right with it.

P.S This thing makes me have to shit.
