I have a 2002 Black TL Premium model. After Driving it for 5 month, and gone through 1 transmission I want to spend some money on her to spruce up the apperance. I dont need to do any performance mod, I simply want her to look sharper and not handle like a boat.

I am thinking about maybe getting a set of TSX rim, and comptech lowering spring.
maybe later add in the strongre anti-roll and strut bar. Do you think this would wreck the original strut or make it ride horribly. I still like it to run smoothly, but turn better at corners.

Its embrassing one time I was following a Camry I4, and at a corner my front wheels skidded so badly, and she pulled away from me nice and smooth.

So please give me some good advices

Sooo... do you want to just make it look nicer, or make it handle better?

Lower springs, struts, sway bars, body kit, wheels and tires. That'll make the car look nice and handle better.

dark inspire

OEM Bodykit, H&R Springs, Tokico Struts, Eibach Sways, and some better tires

dark inspire

also, definately tint the windows, add some exhaust tips as well

h&r sport springs, eibach or comptech rear sway bar, better tires (the stock all-season's are ), tint, exhaust tips, polish & wax job <-- this one will be especially nice on black!

If it were me,

Looks: Body kit, tint, springs and wheels would do you well.
Handling: Springs, sways, struts (or you can get coilovers )

yup, what they said, and to try to answer the ? about the ride quality, as long as you go with a moderate spring rate you'll be fine, I've got the Eibach Pro kit and Tokico blue struts and I love the way i rides and handles then again I went from an Integra Type-R to the TL-S so when I got in the TL I definately needed to be dropped

Peace, Jeff

NYZGREATST

Shaqs2002TLS

Ban all the upgrades and save the money.... sell the TLP and get a TYPE S. Better handling.... (Not by too much though)... faster, more responsive, looks better (w/ the wheels) and all the other great things about a TYPE S.

Liftedoff420

do what i did

TYPE S Rims, Lowered on tein S-techs, exhaust tips, 5%/20% tint all around

my car looks so much cleaner than it used to

youngBuk

OHH SO thats waht TL-P stands for?? PREMIUM?? damn i had no idea all this time loll


3 things you can do that will be cheap/free:
Debadge
3A exhaaust tips
custom grille (3 hours and a pack of mesh grille from home depot no more than 6$)

Fossil_TL

Why would I wanna Debadge my car?

fsttyms1

to clean it up

Okay I have an 02 TL-P and have driven extensively a Camry I4, and there is no way the Camry handles better. Maybe you need better tires!

i'd go with--
-tints(%20)
-debadge
-mesh grille (theres a diy on here somewhere)
-drop
-clear n black-out headlights

-19's (must for looks!!)
-lowering spring (comptech or H&R)
-sway bar (comptech)
-strut bar (neuspeed)
