Condition looks good, let the modding begin! Tint, intake and suspension is always a good start

Thanks for the input guys,

what I wanna do first is take the emblems off the back ( besides the acura symbol ) and then smoke the taillights and maybe the headlights. Then maybe look around for a nice body kit or something.

Then I might start on the system.

Then look for rims and drop it a few inches

1. Do the free and cheap mods in the DIY section.

2. Save $3000 for a tranny

3. Save for drop

4. Save for wheels

5. Save for 02-03 tails

search on ebay for wing west lip kits or go to the dealer to get the OEM lip kits. be prepared to spend money and you really gotta shop for the kits if you gonna go to the dealers. they only have limited quanities.

I have the rears and sides from raceappealkits. Good fitment, just some drilling is required. Worth it IMO if you want to save money for other things such as a drop.

Congrats on the car. Browse around the forums and you will be inspired to fix up your ride too. But don't lurk too much or you will be broke lol.

Looks just like my moms 1st TL she purchased in 01.

Things i'd do are 02-03 brake lights, oem spoiler (www.elitespoilers.com you can get the cheap painted or even less from their ebay store. I purchased mine for my previous car (08 Accord) for 109 shipped and painted), also tint, and swap the deck for a radio that offers navi, bluetooth ans xm/sirius radio.

Welcome to the site. There is a lot of power bottled up in the 225hp j32 just waiting to come out. If your tranny is good swap out the tranny fluid for redline racing ATF. It's the best stuff for our trannies. PM me if you'd like to know more. I've owned 10 Hondas/Acuras since 98 so I have a LOT of knowledge.

Hi, Tony

Way to hijack a thread that isn't going anywhere, make sure to start a thread about your car and post pics.
