you've come to the right place my friend. you can always just browse the TL section, performance & mod section, and the black market. but trust, once you've started modding your car, it won't stop..

yeah, way low miles. congrats and welcome!

majority of mods are visual. tint, wheels, body kit and spoiler, LED lighting for domes, license plate and reverse lights. many do a cold air intake and some front end exhaust mods. no cheap power add ons, but it can be done. good luck and do some searching. good luck!

I will pick up the car next tuesday and i will get a few pics up when i can. I tell you the car is like new it only had two oil changes, and they were done at the dealer and they replaced the cabin filter only because of the age and they replaced the driver side door sill plastic molding piece because the old man had a bum leg and he dragged his foot over the sill and scratched it all up, other than that the car is new I had a 07 white tsx with 35k picked out for her then this guy just showed up at the dealer to trade it in while i was there. How could i not spend an extra 3k for that kind of car( woot for me)

Ya its for the wife but i am looking at a nice audi s4 for me
