Question Help! Complete NewB

Hey..just got a 2006 Acura TL. I know nothing! Just love this car and want to fix it up. I want to drop it...rims..exhaust..all the good stuff. I want my car to look nice and sound nice. But idk where to start. Any advice would be great!

Hey! welcome aboard!

i know you're new; so, I'll try to be easy.

Dont just throw parts at it.
have a clear goal for it.

when people just throw parts at a car; its ugly and not well thought out.
set goals.
set short term and long term and when you finish one; cross it out.

So, with all that being said...

what is your first goal?
after you figure out your first goal; you'll realize that you dont need us to modify your car.

to add; you can browse Acurazine and pick up ideas of what you want.
I think this is a better approach than asking US for suggestions.
because we all are different and have different wants and needs.

Modding is personal.

Modding is personal.
them progress threads in the photo section is usually a good place. people post the pictures of before and after, pictures of the parts as they receive them, and also they post reasons for their choice in certain parts or for their omission in using certain parts. sometimes you get lucky and they post the DIY of some mods.

This also happens when you get frustrated and throw tools at your car.
