I'm STUCK...



So I managed to save up $1,500 () but I don't know what route I want to go w/ my TL. I figured I could either go...
.
A) AEM Cold air intake, UR Pulley, Comptech RSB, Tein SS(?) (about $1,250)

B) Save up more $$ and get 19" Rays G-games 99b ($2,200 w/ tires from my wholesaler)

C) Comptech Exhaust, AEM intake, UR Pulley (about $1,300)

D) Rotora BBK (front)

E) You decide!

Unless my math is off, this will cost you more than $1250.

CAI $230
UR $175
RSB $120
Tein SS $900
---------------
Total $1425

So that would eat your whole budget but I would go that route I think.

I would have to say "A" would do the most for the TL's ride. "B" would only give you new wheels. "C" would make it sound good.

I would go with "A", but that's because that's what I'm doing, Aspec suspension and RSB to be add this week.

Since winter is coming up, I'd hold off on the major suspension mods, and just do the engine mods and the RSB. Just a thought.

Are you planning on installing all this yourself? If not, then you might want to factor in the install prices as well.

Dude, your "heart" is the best person to ask... but here is some guidelines to ask your heart.

A) AEM Cold air intake, UR Pulley, Comptech RSB, Tein SS(?) (about $1,250)

-- Choose option "A" if your heart says "I like for my car to be an all-around good performer. Able to accelerate great, and able to take turns fast".

B) Save up more $$ and get 19" Rays G-games 99b ($2,200 w/ tires from my wholesaler)

-- Choose option "B" if your heart says "My car does not sound like a fast car, but it sure does look good".

C) Comptech Exhaust, AEM intake, UR Pulley (about $1,300)

-- Choose option "C" if your heart says "Damn, look at me. My car is damn quick and sounds bad-ass".

D) Rotora BBK (front)

-- Sorry, I have no clue what this Rotora thing is.

I really like the stock rims, so I think getting new ones are a waste of money. I've seen plenty of pics of TL's with new rims on here and nothing really impressed me. An entry-level luxury sedan like the TL doesn't look good when you fix it up.

Yeah, a lot of wheels i've seen on the TL look pretty nasty to, but imagine these!
