Recently joined the TL world

I just recently purchased this 2001 Acura TL.
The TL had 75,000 miles on it. Got a good deal on her and needed to upgrade my daily driver from my old high school Trans Am. So here it is bone stock waiting to be modded a bit. I will most likely start with some performance mods along with some tint and a good set of wheels. Let me know what you think.

Not too great with the forum yet so the picture probably will not show up but you can click it to go to the page. - Sorry

I love the drop idea fellas but living in Nebraska with the bad weather and pot holes it could get risky. Def in the plans but for later.

Some cheap mods what about starting with some tint and debadging? Preferences?

Cool. The more youre on here the more of a style you will develope.

LED's are always a nice touch and relatively inexpensive, clearing/coloring hewadlight housing makes a huge difference as well.

LED's are definitely cheap considering I have tons of them lying around. I use to work at a part store and there would be times when employees could buy items at a discounted price basically free. Bought some underglow kits (which i would never use) but got the whole kits for fifteen dollars. I have a lot of misc stuff laying around in my garage that I might be able to finally use.

Yes I think it would be easy... Thank you for keeping post all in one thread. I was wondering if you think it would still look good on the white with the wing I have. I will try to get out this week and take some more pictures.

I think a debadge looks clean with or without a wing honestly.
