New to this..
I just got my 2005 Acura TL last Thursday and am wanting to start doing a few mods as soon as possible. Id like to start at little things, that arent too expensive and just work up. Any advice on a few things to start off with? Id like to start on things for the inside, maybe? My TL is dark grey (anthracite metal) with grey leather interior. Already has tented windows. Its also stick shift with navi.
Thanks in advance!

^^^ Well, that pretty much covers it.....
Actually, there are more aesthetic mods, but that's a good list.

^Well I mean we could keep going all day long. Lol. The numbers don't really mean anything. Should change them to bullets.
Ins't there a thread somewhere with a list of pretty much every mod?

I found a used set of H&R springs pretty cheap, waiting on LED lights for interior and also waiting on RV6 Trudual exhaust.
I am just trying to do a little all around to get the car more to its personality.
It just depends on what you WANT out of the car or what your capable of affording and doing yourself work wise to save labor costs.
I used to use saved labor costs to buy tools needed to do the work. Now that my tool supply is up I use the saved money by doing the work myself to buy more parts.

Stay tuned.
And I was right, there is a thread out there that lists most mods. Sadly, it is a few years old and there has been a lot of new products on the market for us since then.
