Things NOT to do to your TL

I've noticed over the past few months that everyone asks questions about what they should put on their car next (CAI, headers, exhaust, etc.). However, with the encouragement of some people from earlier threads, I think it's both responsible and necessary to have a list of things that people should not put on their cars.

I won't get into it too much beyond that explanation, but I will add one to the list myself:

Lambo Doors :fingerfawk:

Repainting the entire car to another, non-Acura (lime green, purple, orange, etc), color. The exception would be for dedicated show cars that never touch asphalt.

Badging a TL-P as a TL-S.

Copious amounts of distorted bass.

I second that. You don't want to get lost in the crowd. Subtle but tasteful mods are the key....

!

IMO
I may be new, but here is what I think:

No racing any type of :shit: on this car; It is a Sedan for one, and second, if you like the look, you should think about getting a civic , rsx, integra or somethin' I just can't stand that look on the wrongtype of vehicle. The look of the TL is definently class/luxury or whatever that means???
!
Alot of miscellaneous race types but most of!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

None of that rice buring lawn mower sounding exhausts
