Was going to keep it stock as I've always preferred that look, but I've seen so many hot lookings mods on here that I'm tempted to join the fray. I've never seen another car that takes mods as well as the TL and looks so appropriate. Am I too old to pimp my ride?

 

Lol, i think you should at least get a OEM body kit, i think every TL needs one, i see it as a difference between night and day..
and maybe a drop and your good to go.... looks clean and not over doing it. good luck.

 

u can never be too old to pimp ur ride

 

Pimp It!!!

 

Yes! It'll make you feel like you're in high school again!

 

Posts like these make me mad.... I understand "to each his own" blah blah blah....but seriously, who likes a stock car over a modded car... hahaha. Like, "o, i dont like a CAI, i would rather have a stock looking air box thats ugly and takes up more space and suffocates my motor" or "o, i dont like 18 or 19 inch rims, id rather keep my stock small 17 inch rims that every other tl has on the street" or "o, id rather have a boring 6 disc cd changer than a tv with mp3 player and 10 disc dvd changer, the stock one is better" hahaha.
anyway, keep your tl stock, you make ours look better

 

^^ well i dont kno waht hes trying to say, but definatley pimp it

 

99% of the population is perfectly fine with driving their average cars like the Taurus, Malibu, etc. Having an Acura TL is exciting in itself.

Modifying a car is not something everyone does , likes or can afford to.




Having said that, if you can afford it, then definitely go for it, man.

Start with the OEM body kit, lower it, grab some wheels and tires. It'll look like a totally different car. And if you feel daring, get some performance parts, too.

 

 

Can anyone tell me if the OEM body kit is functional in addition to it's aesthetic value (i.e. less drag)? Infiniti is advertising that the G35 with the aero package has a lower coefficient of drag than the standard version. I don't know that much about cars, so hopefully this isn't a silly question.

 

.....anyway, yeah if you really want to pimp your ride go for it.....although there's always boundaries of pimping a car out.....if after your mods if you notice the car isn't fast because it's literally sitting on the ground after your new springs, or your spinners don't spin long enough after you stop, then you've taken it too far....

certain mods makes the car unique to other stock TLs....go for those first...

yeah u can never be too old to pimp your car out.

 

the G35 did a great job with their kits. infiniti made their aerodynamics on the car so that it actually helps the car in a way. all the acura TL kit does is give you really nice looks. it doesnt do much for the car, and yes, increase in wind noise. but its not too noticeable. i prefer mine without one and just dropped. im only 19 and i actually like the stock look better than one with a kit. so its definitly all on personal opinions. i love my car with the mesh grill and cleared out headlamps. i think it looks just perfect right now and im done with the body. only thing im looking for are a nice pair of rims for now.

 

hahaha, that made me laugh.

yea pimp it! make sure ur ready to lose money like crzy

 

are you going only for the look, perfomance, or cool mods like a premium stereo and stuff?

be preprared though!!! once you start modding, there is not way of stopping lol, trust me on that. a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$

peace.

PS too old? i know 70 yr old granny, driving a hooked up mustang, and she drives it hard.

 

"Pimp my Ride" that's my favorite program

 

Dear God, I hope you're joking. That is the worst car show ever. The stuff they do to the cars horrifies me.

 

Would kind of like the mods to be functional aside from their merely cosmetic value. Guess the OEM body kit has it's disadvantages as far as wind noise, etc. That kind of bums me out as I don't really want to hear a rush of air that I don't hear now. Any ideas of how I can make my car the most pimptastic machine around?

 

no kidding man
I think you take the show & what they do there a bit too seriously.
it's so much fun to watch those skilled homies pimp out those beyond-belief shitboxes ;
