Which will make my car stand out most?
Sorry if discussed before, but which would make my car stand out even more? Comptech springs or spoiler? I am debating...please help a newbie out. I hear springs, but does it really make a difference?

Thanks guys, but one mod at a time. Rims are definitely in the future, but if I purchase rims, then I would also get tires. But for right now, between spoiler or springs, which would make my car stand out? Thanks again!

Man, some of you guys are crazy!!! It's all good though. Thanks for the feedback. I recieved several estimates to have springs put on. Anywhere from $130 - $200. I know some people said that they put them on themselves, but I am not trying to do that. Is those estimates pretty fair? Dealer wanted...well ya know...dealer price!!! Rip off city. Thanks,

Put one of those Double-Decker shopping car spoilers!
but seriously, I think that the body kit and lowering it would have the most impact.

Springs.... it enhances both appearance and performance.
On the other hand, a spoiler will add *some* weight to your car when our TLs are not even RWD. While adding a spoiler will add some appearance value to your TL, there are many non-car enthusiast TL owners with spoilers. But most of them do not lower their TL. So, if you're debating b/w those two options, I'd say springs.
It's really up to you. If you really want to "stand out"... rice-out your TL and it will stand out. How'bout a tipple decker metal sheet spoiler?
