Just got '08 black Type-S

I used to drive 07 bmw 328i and wasted too much $$$$ for maintenance. I loved RWD, but it't time to move on. I was really into acura tl 3rd generation as it has delectable derriere. Gonna use some of mods up for my car. I am wondering what is first thing I have to do?

Hi, go to the performance sections and check the sticky thread.
but since you're asking, I would lower the car. It's the best aesthetic mod IMO

Maintenance - replace anything that needs to be replaced, then start modding.

I would start with tint.

And then with LEDs. Interior (7 bulbs including trunk, 9 with vanity mirrors if you care to do those), front/rear turn signals, reverse lights, license plate.

Thanks all!! I just did interior lights with led and license plate as well.

License place bulbs replacement was HELLLLLLL!! It was little tricky to take out. I already did fluid changes. But I noticed that some of center console lights were out. I ordered T3 led bulbs. But It seems little bit harder than interior lights? I searched DIY forum as well. I will keep searching what I need. ACURA ZINE IS AWESOME

Awesome man, glad you got rid of the Bmw and got an Acura. Is your TL-s a manual trans 6 speed? Either way, I agree with suspension, I like the A spec suspension , it is Acura OEM and is suttle - it lowers just an inch , but is a very good sport suspension for the TL. Good sport tires, if you don't already have em, is another great investment.

Yes. The right tires make a huge difference.
