Congratz on ur purchase. Is there a hot girl on the passenger side?
Performance, asthetic, audio? What direction you want to try first?

Well this is the right website for *that*.

For some of the "quickies" search:

- Tints and Moleskin
- Shaved Door Handle
- Stage 3 Exhaust
- Navi Hack (thats a sticky at the top of this forum).
- Cleared and Blacked Headlights
- Subs and Infinity Speakers
- Drop and Tein


There are SO many others. Wheels are also popular, but I think there are more kinds of wheels than 3G Acura's produced.

congrats on the new ride! i think some of the other members have give you plenty to work with mod wise

That is a lot of $$$ for the mods if you add up step 1-10! Would you able to recoupe your money back on these mods when you sell the car? I don't think so.

Any factory add-on, BIG YES
IE - Steps 5, 6, 7 and 9... 4/10 aint bad, but who said he wants to sell the car... Honda's die at 300k

PS. Steps 5, 6, 7 and 9 are essentials to an Acurazine Member...

I think most of the mods we add on to our cars are for personal taste ... might not think about resale values at all ...

lavo

Look around the forums and do some reading before you decide what you would like to do to your car. There are lots of little things that you can do that dont take a lot of money that can make your car unique to you.

Do you r research, check the wallet and then decide what you would like to see done first, second, etc...

Hey vinha916.....
Have you posted pics of your ride yet.....that'll give a canvas that members on this site can work with and help you with what would look best on your car.

jvinhj240

lol LEopwer. My car pretty much stock bro. It s white in color all I have done was Tint, mudguard and window visor. I am still researching on DVD/TV /. I need all the inputs so I can do more research and decide what best fits me. Of course, there are like audio , performance and looks. But there are mods that I dont even know. THe more input you got the more thing bring it up to me and I will do research. Again, this forum is really nice. I have see a lot of good comments.

Get the all weather floor mats and go to your local auto parts store and buy a "Hot-tires" paint pen. You can then paint the "TL" insignia on your mat. Adds a little spice (not rice, haha) to the inside of your car. You can go to superbrightleds.com and pick up some interior leds which will give the inside of your car a whole new look. You can find anything you want with a quick search, it might take you a few days of reading but you'll be glad you took the time too. Before you know it you'll be giving advice to some newbies yourself.
