welcome to acurazine.

your plans for the car...

30,000k hids?

5% tints must be crazy dark...hope you don't get pulled over too much

20" rims are hard to pull off on the TL...i'd go with 18-19" if it were me.

type s rear bumper, make sure you get the quad exhaust to go with it. sides and front lip just stick with the base aspec kit.

accord fogs are a popular mod

i'd rethink your suspension set up, look into some koni yellow shocks/spring combo...or go for coilovers.

lots of info on this forum, search is your friend. good luck to ya!

welcome to the site.
but ixnay on the 30,000k HID's. your visibility must be horrible in the rain at night, I wouldnt want to be driving next to you, in fear of my life and others. 4300K is stock and provides the most usable light for visibility. If you want a little color, may I suggest going up to 6000k or 8000k at the most.

*Edit*
DAMMMMN! 30,000k and 5%tint! holy fucking cant see, batman!

30,000K HID's? do you want people to die when you drive around?

Stick to 8K if you want bright.

6000k HID is perfect, the best color + light output imo.

30,000K lights with tint that dark... and a baby seat in the back???

Personally, with a baby in the car I would rethink some of those mods that will affect my visibility and overall safety.

+1 on the rims. 18-19 is the way to go. Other then that, best of luck with the car. Make sure that all your fluids and so forth are done before the heavy modding and post some pics when you get her all done.

So you can't see out of and in your car because of 5% tint (basically painted windows) and you don't like to see in front of you at night with your UB black light headlights! LOL

Congrats!
