Newbie and new owner

Greetings everyone,

first time Acura buyer and everyone around has nothing but great things to say. Male and Female!

really excited to start my add-on's for the car.

got a 07 white tl base model but came with the aspec kit on it.
navi not sure the edition (wanna get to watch dvd sometime soon, but that will be another post)

first thing on my list is get baby a new pair of boots. looking for some chrome 20's prob do 245 all around.

then lower it with some tein springs (on my 04 civic tein springs were freaking great)

maybe a blk vinyl roof top (didnt wanna paint, just in case later i change my mind on the look. looked into it already seemed like the same price range $300)

not familiar with the diff typs of base models that TL might have...(been reading some ppls profils and not sure of diff models)

any feed back so far on my ideas would be great.

and look fwd to talking with some smart Acura die heart fans!!!

peace!

Welcome Jus. If your car doesn't have tints, that's always a great first mod.

Congrats and welcome!!! Research Azine member experience with 20s before you buy them. I initially wanted 20s too, but heard a lot of complaints about ride quality, rubbing, pothole damage etc. 19s tend to be more expensive, but I'm really happy with my current setup.

Welcome! Nice that it already had the aspec kit. Tint is a good first mod, if that's not on the car too. Let me be the first to say that this forum is a great source for finding a lot of answers. There are a lot of threads covering a myriad of topics, so take the time to search prior posts. I'm not a fan of full chrome wheels on TLs, but think you have a good list going.

I would reconsider the 20"s. Look into 19"s instead and overall I think you'll be much more happier with them. Considering ride quality and costs and everything.

Welcome from one newbie to another. I have already gleaned tons of useful info from this site in the few days I've been here....so much so that the wife is commenting on never lifting my head from the computer...
