Need some tips on Modifications Please!

Hey Fella's and Ladies I suppose,
I have a 2006 Acura TL and was on the verge of selling it for a Lexus or Infiniti and have decided to keep it. I am just bored with it as there are a million other TL's on the road that look the same and now with the new body style, I'm really itching.
Anyways, just trying to find out what I can do to improve the exterior appearance?
Is there anything else I can do besides add a spoiler and change rims?
It's already a pretty firm suspension, will adding the A-spec kit make it even harder???
I am not trying to pimp my ride or anything, just needs a little something.
Thanks!
Acura TL 2006 owner

Get creative and do things hardly anyones done... Spoilers??? Ahhhhh not a fan..cars got a beautiful high trunk and very sleek. Maybe a trunk lid lip... Get some lighweight racing rims.. A-spec suspension isn't hard compared to aftermarket and also not that low from stock..IMO its not worth the money.. Heck I'm used to my own car being slammed, I can't tell the diff between stock and a-spec...suspension setups such as tein coilovers, h&r and all that..are much better..tein for instance, u can adjust dampening so even though ur low..u can soften it.. And get rid of the harshness some complain about. Maybe a front lip.. A-spec lip kit looks much better on a lowered car.. Yellow fog lights ... There's plenty to do

Clear or blackout your headlights which is a simple mod.

Get the front lip it will definitely give your car an agressive look.

a-spec kit, tints, window visors painted body color, ATLP roof spoiler

wow, do you really think the BASE TL suspension is stiff? IMO its SO shitty, so much body roll, its scary. even in the stock type-s suspension, it was scary as hell doing 130mph going straight, didnt feel stable at all. and not to mention while turning.

TEIN SS ftw because u can make it soft for DD use. if u get EDFC u can soften/stiffen as u drive

I'm never happy with stock suspension on any fwd car.. I've been at the hardest setting, lowest setting (even lower than the kit is supposed to go) for years... Not the slightest complaint... But that's just me

Angel eyes, shaved door lock, tinted tail lights and rear window spoiler. Or how about a real shocker, white vinyl roof.

Do the simple stuff first:
1. Navi Hack
2. Detail it
3. Shaved door lock mod
4. Maintenance such as seafoam treatment, filter, oilchange, etc.
5. Take off the rims and paint the calipers and rotors with black high temp paint. (do it if you don't need to have a brake job done soon)


Then for performance/uniqueness:
1. TL-S tail-lights - these change the look of the car quite a bit!
2. Rims/tires - rims can make or break the car, choose wisely!
3. 07-08 lower fog-light mod
4. XL8 J-pipe - makes quite a bit of power for the cost
5. Progress or Comptech Rear Sway bar, makes the car handle a lot better!
6. AEM Cold air intake - of the first mod's you should do IMO


just a simple list for now...
