Best Place to shop?????

Just got my 06 TL NHBP fully loaded, have 18" momo's on it (not sure I like them, not a chrome fan), A spec bumper kit and want to get going on some other things.

What is the best place online to pick up parts? I am checking the black market daily however want some other places to look for ideas, pricing, and availability. what is the go to shop for all the TL guys?

OEMAcuraparts has the best prices that I've seen for parts.

Just click the vendors link in the top right.

I really don't know, lol. I just want to mod! I know for sure I would like to look at an intake, see if I can find the rear side markers in clear, J-pipe, mufflers options, headlight options, body options.


Never know what you really need until you find it and realize you cant live without it lol..... Lowering springs for sure! more springs than coil overs for cost savings.

I was between jobs and paying a mortgage was more important than having a nice car. have 2 kids, a wife, and a 2 dogs and didn't want them all sleeping in the car with me if I lost the house. Wife cant drive stick so she wouldn't let me buy another so 3rd Gen TL was the next step. never as fast or fun, but still sharp as hell! and much more luxury!


I am so bummed about the MS6! it was my baby, I still cry every now and then over it! mazdaspeed forums where amazing forums!

IMO start with the aesthics i.e. LED conversion, rear side markers, tails and heads, wheels, drop, A-spec lip kit, etc.

I live in Oregon and I know the TL has a stock cold air howdy when I had my other car the cold air proved to have issues with all our rain. Should I be concerned with the flow and layout on the TL for the sane issues?

What drop have you guys seen is a good drop for a daily driver? Should I look for a 1.5 drop to 1.75 drop all around or go more aggressive? 2.25 in front and 1.75 to 2 in back?

If you're looking for OEM parts oemacuraparts.com is the best, Tim is awesome!

If you need LED's, check out vleds.com or eBay

I also got headlights & tails, check out my signature, prices are not set in stone!
