When I actually get mine in 6 weeks it will be off to get the clear bra and Tint immediately. It is like living in a sand blaster here so a clear bra is necessary unless you like using touch-up paint constantly. The sun is really intense here as well at a 5,000 ft so tint is a good idea as well especially with Ebony leather interior. It drops the temperature quite a bit inside the cabin during the summer. I might consider a CAI, due to the thin atmosphere but I kind of like a quiet engine for a change.
Man, I miss sea level.

Floor mats, no joke. I have the camel interior and these floor mats look pretty trashed after 1,200 miles. Acura spent much time and money adding the latest and best technology to the car, and then finds the cheapest floor mats on the planet. :banghead: My '94 Accord had MUCH better mats, I had them for ten years. The mats in the Acura remind me of a big red zit on the nose of a swimsuit model--really detracts from the beauty and overall perception of quality. The other items previously mentioned are upgrades that will take the car from great to outstanding, but I would be happy if my floor mats were slightly above average!

Nothing...
The only things I might add/alter in my TL:
I'm not really interested in adding Aero gear or other funky plastic modifications. Wheels...well, if I did ever change them, I'd probably not change the wheel size since I like the handling/ride characteristics just fine the way they are. I guess I like the styling of the car just fine the way it is, and feel no particular need to make it "different". If I did, I probably would have bought a much cheaper car that *needed* some changes to make it appealing.
- some sort of chip protector on the front (not sure if Clearbra is available in Canada, and whether there is a decent professional to apply it where I live)
- a stereo/Navigation system upgrade to support playback of MP3s or some similar "user compiled" music source (E.G.: Alpine's iPod interface)

First things first. I gotta get some tint on my NBP right away! I can't stand all the direct sunlight, lack of privacy, and looks as well. Question though, are any of you guys tinting your sunroof(or moonroof, whatever)? Or has everyone left those alone...
Edit: Also, yeah Vegas, you might have everyone beat for mods I still can't get over those cleared headlights! You got one sweet whip...

Yeah the headlights look killer on this car!!!
Also, the Electronic flasher really is an attempt to stop the fast blinking caused by the installation of LED blinker bulbs on the front and rear turn signal.
