I just got a Acura TL 06' Stock, what can I add to the exterior to make it "look" better or any ideas other people have because obviously you may not know what I like or do not. If y'all could add links and names. No more than 1k.


P.S I have seen very nice Acura TL's but I have no idea what is added or modded. I do have the ugly OEM 17" rims and was looking at rims, but realize I have to buy new tires along with rims easily costing me 2k+ unless I buy from ebay or a used part store

Is this spoiler good? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-2008-Acura-TL-Painted-Rear-Spoiler-Wing-05-06_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1163Q7c66Q3a2Q 7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec 0Q2em14QQhashZitem330275493192QQitemZ330275493192

Thanks!

The K&N replacement filter is a pretty mild upgrade, but it does help. You'd be a little better off getting a full cold air intake for more gains, even though there is a compromise in noise. Some people like the added performance sound, but others are put off. We like AEM and K&N for intakes, Injen we've seen is more obnoxious.

The A-spec kit is a great upgrade as well and reall enhances the look of the car. Come s prepainted and ready to install with minimal tools. We usually get them in the $850-900 range.

Add a cold air intake, a relatively low cost but worthwhile mod. AEM is the way to go....

Thanks! Wheres the link to the A-Spec Kit for that price range? And will the cold-air intake have any like long-term problems or anything. What I know is cold-air intake increase hp/mpg/ and acceleration just like the k&n air filter but more of a substantial increase?

And has anyone know is it better for synthetic or conventional oil for an acura tl?

Thanks! Much Appreciated!

check out my signature below for a list of exterior mods. You can click on my username to the left and look through my photos to see pics of my car. I would say my fav mod was adding the tl-s rear side markers, and adding the tint film to the head and tail lights. I am eventually going to have JnC clear my headlights but I have not had the $.....I'll get to it. Good Luck!
