Dont post pics and expect no hate. haha :P
Fix your door pillars. There are plenty of things you can do to boost the appearance that cost <20$ remove mudflaps![ugh](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/ugh.gif)
Dunno if its the pix, but the whole car looks pretty dirty.
Also, I do have pancake mix.
Other than that, it obviously has potential to be great
happy modding, i got my TL when I was 15 too

your car looks like it's one of those ads on autotrader, cars.com, craigslist.. mainly cause it's stock lolol.
you should give your car a clay bar, wax, and sealant. clean the leather with leather cleaner. tire with tire shine. you can also clean up the engine bay with engine degreaser.
like slushyyy said, there are many cheap things you can do to your car to make it better. ie. intake resonator removal, b pillar fix, fog light mod, debadge, interior lighting.. etc etc etc

I used them
I just need tire shine or rim shine w/e its called lol.
and I wanna debadge the "acura" at the back

I wish someone could help me lol.

haha thanks man!
Well .. haha.. I'll ask.
Proper wash as in?
waxing it?
Ok look at the FIRST and SECOND
picture do you see those small cracks and like white things.. ._.
I think some are cracks and little white things are the rocks that hit the paint?
If I wax it with compound will it remove?

Dude look at the thing you want to remove, see how its attached to the car...and remove the bolt/clip
its not complicated at all...
Mudflaps are held on by 2 screws. You use a screwdriver to remove those screws.

damn yo that VTEC option was only available in 02. wish i had it on my 03.
anyways. a lot of the stuff youre asking is common sense. just take some time and read the DIY pages carefully. they tell you exactly what to do. look up videos on youtube. watch the car shows on saturday and sunday mornings on spike tv. google more. be resourceful...
as Slushhyyy said, everything is held on by either a couple bolts or pop-clips. all you need is a screwdriver to get most things off. for things held on by bolts, most of the time its a 10 mm bolt. so use a 10 mm socket.
but honestly, if you are really getting another TL when you turn 16, why are you wasting your time doing anything to this one?

Aired Out TLS
Here's is what do. Heat your springs with a hand held propane torch, and have one person sit on the side your heating up, it will make that side drop low as u want. Continue on all four sides.![Rock On](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/rockon.gif)

kid, I'm glad you have a car to idolize. Here are my suggestions....
Step 1: Step away from the car, look at it from a comfortable distance
Step 2: You don't have a license, and thus you are in middle school or high school. AKA you have PLENTY of time to read up on the TL
Step 3: Read up on said TL
Step 4: turn 16, get your permit, learn to drive, turn 17, get your license. Then get to modding.
your parents, your car, your township will thank me

lololol you think you know how to drive
my one regret was getting the TL when I was 16/17 (spare car at my house)
If I knew then that I would want to mod the shit out of it, I wouldn't have driven so carelessly, and I wouldn't have to spend my first grand on repairs and could have gotten rims or a lip kit >:-O

Take some time and read the threads in Slushhyy's post, there are tons of "cheap" mods that can be done on your allowance/money begged from mom and dad/odd jobs... the more that you read in this forum, the more knowledge you will aquire. Most of the "cheap" diy's are universal that go with mostly any theme. Then when you actually get a dl and a job to pay for bigger mods, you will have a direction to go with your mods for an over all theme that suits your style. Look thru the photo gallery to see mods that fit your likings and have a plan or you end up wasting money.
Btw.... I noticed in one of your pictures that your muffler bearing is shot and needs to be replaced before you drive that car one more mile or you are going to have big problems
