What should I get?

I just got a black 2001 Acura TL, but I dont know what type of kit I shuld get on it . I am only 16 so I dont have a ton to spend on it. What type of body kit w/ what type of spoiler is the best deal? What is a good site to get one from, and is it possible to install it myself, or should i get someone to do that for me. I also cannot get my car lowered so dont tell me to get somethin that looks dumb if it isnt lowered because that would be bad. Thanks and post some pics of the cool kits u have on ur cars. Thanks Jimmy!

Should i buy the parts painted or unpainted. If I get them unpainted, how much will it cost to get them painted (at least a guess). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

what type of "aero" kit? the only kits available for us are:

OEM
Wings West
Sarona
Blaze
ValueSport

id Suggest the OEM, classy and sporty at the same time, probably the cheapest of the bunch! whichever kit you get you will love it!

Aero Kit

I got a Wings West kit for my 2000 TL and it looks great! You can find them on Ebay. I got mine painted and installed for $300. I got a factory type wing off Ebay also for about 160 painted.

that is the Sarona/Erebuni Kit. Make out of 100% fiberglass and really ricey looking in my opinion. it is made for the 99-01 TL's, hence no foglight holes. If you are into that kind of look, check out the one for the 02-03 TL's, there is a blue TL-S pic with it floating around
