You don't have a choice, they don't have turbo kit for our cars yet

Or maybe some spelling and grammar lessons.
I am sorry about that....I could not help it. Please forgive me
On a serious note:
I think you should get on your knees, clasp your hands together and pray with thanks for getting a car like that at that age.
Second you should do nothing when it come to performance because at 16, if you are like I was, or most people here, you are going to over use all that power and hurt yourself or someone else.
Invest alot of that money in an audio system.
I mean I cannot believe your parents would let a 16 year old kid first off get that car.....but then let them spend 10k to make the damn thing faster!!
Call me old ( am only 32) but that is just crazy.
Good luck.

I appreciate the advice. But I am planning to throw on Volk Kuwagata's, The A-Spec KIt, Spoon brakes, And I need to know that if I purchase a supercharger, that I can put in other mods (eg. full catback w/ headerS)

A-Spec kit? ur probably living in canada then...other wise it's close to impossible to get them if u live in the states. And even in canda it's a pain to get your hands on them. And i heard they don't even let kids 16 years old to get lincense there. And why are you so feed up with like companies like spoon and greddy? ricer? probably. the only really deal when u deal with TL's is sad to say it's comptech. I dunno, i still say you should get the brembo big brake kit. What's more important than stopping power? and also get really good tires, cuz when u come to think about it, tires are the only things that comes in contact with the asphalt in the whole car. I think it's better to be safe first before you try to make it faster. I'm only 20, but i've seen accidents and deaths due to bad brakes and tires.
Brakes and tires are good investments, don't go shady on them. Especially if you are trying to make the car go fast.

Why's SPOON a bad candidate then?
FYI. They are more expensive then the Brembos
I dont know what tread to get for radial 19"
Any recommendations?
And what about the supercharger scenario? Would you put extra mods like headers on it ? Or forgo the supercharger and get other mods.

Spoon = JDM and pretty damn good quality imho.
If u want jdm, look into Blazing Stars kit and Value Sports kit. Theres a few boosted J32a1's around. Shiet ive even heard of accords with CL-S 6 speed tranny swaps.
TL + 6 speed tranny swap + big single turbo + fully built motor + aem ems = 1 fast 3600 pound 4 SFWD four door haha.

dude don't give this kid too much hopes. he only have 10k to play with, and that's probably cnd i'm guessing he's in canada. He was rims and body kit (-$3000) That leaves him with $7k left. And $7k won't be enough. I'm guessing he's not going to do the swap himself. the labor cost will kill.

just because something is more expensive doesn't mean it's better.
i'm still waiting for pics of this gold TLS.
not to be an ass, but putting 10K in a TL is retarded. you should trade it for something more moddable like any car w/ a 1.8T motor. i'm sure you would have a lot of fun with that... thats IF you really have a TLS which doesn't seem to feasible since you said you'd post pics and we have yet to see them.
