Talking 3k shopping spree!

hey guys, been saving up for a while and figure its finally time to show the TL some love! Budget is around 3k and the only thing concrete at this point are new wheels. All that said, I'd love to hear some input from you guys as to what I should add to the shopping list. all ideas are welcome!

Are you more concerned with looks or performance?

You should post some pics of your current setup and outline what you've done already so people know what you've got so far

That being said...

I'd say for aesthetics, throw a roof spoiler on, go lower if you want, and inspire fogs. I always feel that fog lights really complete the look of the front of the TL, especially with the 04-06 A-Spec. For performance mods I'm a noob but maybe a Progress RSB, a J Pipe and CAI would be a good start. Your TL's looking great already though - did you add anything else since making that other thread?

well my car is an a-spec so from the looks perspective I think I might already be set but I'm open to any and all ideas preformance or cosmetic. Edit: Also yes the car is pretty much untouched A-Spec all around

Custom headlights and taillights if going for looks over performance

I'd say get a hooker for $500 and report back what she did for the other $2500.
