Ways to rice out a TL

Hello there guys i have a Acura 3.2 TL 2000 and looking for some ways to rice it out. Please give me suggestions, I want it to look sporty rather than luxury. I got some mods already and here they are.

Mods:
Two Dual OBX exhausts with 2 1/2 cat piping
Aem Cold air intake

More to come:
Sonara bodykit
Wing west spoilers
Enkei Rims
Skunk2 coilovers
Obx headers

Can you people give me some tips on ricing it out?

i dont think u mean "rice" it out, u just mean make it sporty...well, lowered suspension, a body kit, and rims are the first things to go with for a sporty look. Go for some indiglo or reverse indiglo gauges, i got mine from www.procarparts.com, a tint of course. Yeah, all you need is 3000 dollars and your good to go

glad to see there's another SARONA kit fan out there!!!

back to the thread, get tints and if you want to go to the extreme, inner and outer glow lights and re-upholster your leather to 2 toned! should've bought an ACCORD!

BTW, if and when you get the body kit, pls tell me where and how much you got it for.

Yeah, if you are wanting to "rice it out," you should've gotten something else, possibly something cheaper. Oh well, to each their own, but if you want to make it sportier, lower it, add some 18+ inch wheels, and a tasteful body kit, either the OEM or the Wings West kit. I'm not familiar with the Sarona kit, might look it up for myself, but seriously, if you want the rice look, get a "rice car," like a Civic or maybe even an Accord, not a TL. My $.02.

no suggestions here....you don't "RICE OUT" a TL. Sell it, take the money and buy a Civic DX and use the left over money and "RICE OUT" that.

Don't do it to your car....that is horrible, luxury cars are not supposed to be "riced out".

Heres a suggestion, get a bunch of stickers, put them all over your car and put Neons everywhere you can. Thats as rice as it gets.

That is probably the most hideous kit 3VAR!

But if you need more ideas then talk to FixedTL or BlazinTL.

If you're looking to "rice" it out for real then this is probably the wrong car for it ... The TL doesn't even have replacement "Altezza" style tail lights like most cars do so you're gonna be "stuck" with the stock tail lights. I wouldn't recommend even trying to "rice" out a TL like others have said ..

However, if you're looking to make your car more aggressive looking, the OEM or WW bodykit is a good starting point. Personally, I think clearing+blackouts on the headlights give the TL a really nice aggressive look too...

I'm loving the DigiRebel but having a little bit of buyer's remorse now that the D70 is out ... but I guess thats the thing with technology, it always gets better and cheaper the longer you wait!

Not anywhere close to a good photographer yet ... but its easy to get one good picture when you take a few hundred picture ... Thats what I love about digital!

If you ever use "rice" and "TL" in the same sentence ever again! :bigun2: unless you say something like "Never rice out a fucking TL"
