new member '04 AM TL 6MT

Signed papers last Monday night and got the key on Tuesday morning. I traded in my '03 Civic Si for the TL which only has 41,xxx miles on it. That was to big selling point for me because my Si had 145,xxx miles.
I'm already looking to get an AEM V2, and some tint for the car. As for the rest that will come later down the road. Feel free to leave me some ideas, since I'm still pretty new to this car and the aftermarket for it.
Are there any members on here form the Central Coast CA (805)?

thanks
Dan

Welcome and congrats Dan!

You should look into getting your windows tinted and getting the A-Spec kit. A drop is at the top of most peoples "to do lists" here as well.

Make sure your tint guy will push the tint all the way to the end of the quarter windows. Many tint shops will try to slouch out and leave a small strip of uncovered window there. It CAN and SHOULD be done!
V2 is good. Other suggestions depend on whether you want performance or appearance/functional mods. I love the KP Window Roll Up module and I turned my OEM fogs into DRLs with the Designtech module. I also enjoy my J-Pipe.
Welcome and happy modding!

An 04 with only 41k miles? That's gold! Nice find! Welcome to the club.

Nice find man...you're gonna love the 6sp...I fall in love with mine more and more each day. But get ready for a learning curve with that baby when it comes to shifting it. 1-2 shift is gonna take a little practice...at least it did for me but now I have it down to a science.

Thanks everyone. Yeah the 6spd felt weird at first specially coming from my Si which had a really fluid shifter and my stage 2 clutch, but i pretty much got this one down now.

This should be your 1st mod and it free!
Make the shifting in the car much smoother imo!
