I feel you. It's seems like there is nothing else left to mod.
There is always Air Bag Suspension, Diff set of wheels(maybe even a wider width), Remove the Tint(for a diff look...I did it and I kinda like the look more in a way).

Yups. Air bag suspension and new set of more aggressive wheels are tempting but cost too much money and I don't want to spend any more. I'm still love the car very much, but any new mods is little waste of money IMO. I'm also thinking of remove the tint or re-tint with a darker tint 20% all around or 20% front 5% rear? Well, time will tell.

I'm gonna guess that buying a new car will be more expensive? Keep it!

I would clean the exhuast and paint the brakes, but it looks good.

Bored with it? Looks like its 3.5 time

Appolozy for laziness on my part for not cleaning the exhausts. Planning to do it on the next big detail before the All Cali Meet next month. As for the brakes, I probably do it soon, but don't know what color? Black or Red?

I'm not give up on this car yet. It will stay with me for at least until 2010 or until 4th gen TL comes out with type S and if it looks hot. As of now, I'm not feeling of modding anymore.

Man Lac, I've always loved your car. I've always tried to make mine the opposite (WDP) version of yours.

But yeah, I'm sick of it too. Been eyeing the new Evo. But thinking I should wait till 2010 for the Genesis Coupe.

Either way, theres still a couple more things you could do. I.E. Big brake kit???

I used to live around those area near Westminster Civic Center. I don't really know how to mod except few minor things. Mostly I just pay someone to do it

Thanks, bro! There is a time that I wish my car is any color but Black. It is hard to maintain her in lust beauty. The minute I finish detail the car, I saw some dust. Finger prints, dust, water spots, etc... just show up on the car and it's a sore eyes to see day in day out. My next car might be in White color

change out the (A)'s to H's. theirs no acura inspire. then youd be set with the jdm exterior, besides the airbags.

Haha, there is Acura Inspire which is my car
My purpose of doing Inspire but keep the A is just to be little different with the rest of Acurazine modders and normal Acura TL drivers.

Honestly, 3rd gen TL is a great looking car with modern and sporty looks, but I and I'm sure lots of others here just can't resist the love of beauty classic elegant looks of 2nd gen TL. The more I look at the car the more I love it. Just wish it has all the update technologies of the 3rd and soon 4th gen TL. If I can have that, I'm sure I can keep this car for a very very long time.

What's up LeeDan00? Your car and others White TL in this board certaintly almost convince me to get my next car (whenever it will be) in White color. They all look so nice!
