New to the Acura world, questions on modding

I recently bought an 07 white TL-S about 2 months ago, and Ive been hustlin hard to save up my money to start modding in a couple weeks. As of now I believe i have the stock front bumper on the car, but Ive seen many people changing their bumpers, and it gives it an overall better look, I was wondering if someone could give me some pics of the type of front bumpers I could put on my 07 tl, and where exactly I could go about getting it. Im sure Il have more questions later on, so the help would be appreciated! Pics will be put up as soon as the painting and such is all done, its gonna look boss! Mad excited, thanks!

Welcome to the forums!!! As far as people changing the front bumper, I think what you are thinking is a lip kit. The only aftermarket kit that changes the entire front bumper is a kit made by ronjon. Look for the aspec kit on here, check a few posts down. Its just a add on that goes under the front of the front of the bumper, replaces the side skirts and has an addition under the rear bumper as well.

Congrats on your new purchase. If you plan to add performance to your new TL-S, consider getting a RV6 V3 Long Tube J-Pipe.

Its likely the best bang for the buck bolt on performance you'll get.

OP get in touch with a few of the vendors here, they are offering the entire A-Spec kit for $755 shipped which is a hell of a deal.

Thanks for joining us, this is a great community

Installing the lips can be a pretty big job for the unfamiliar, so while you can get a great price for the parts here read the instructions in the garage section of the forums before getting started to make sure you are up to the task.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction on the installation! I was just about to post a thread asking where I can find out how to do it. I've seen a lot of people with tl-s's asking how to install the lip, so it does seem like a big task, il see if im up to it.

On another note, I have questions regarding headlights, Im going with a black/white theme with my car, and I dont like the yellow on the head lights, ive seen people clearing/blacking out their lights. How exactly would I go about clearing them, this seems like the simplest of the two options, and might be the look im going for since the light housing seems dark already.
Thanks for any feed back!

Got my tint done today, A-spec lip is most likely next, then lowering, which i also know NOTHING about, one task at a time!

Congrats on your TL and welcome to AZ Sounds like your on the right track with help from other members. Check with JnC, he does custom headlights.
