JUst got new TL , ordering mudguard and window visor. will tint this weekenk.What other mods you guys suggest?

 

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.

 

Also, check the 3G gararge here:

By the end of this 10 step plan you will have the sweetest ride for miles... that or you'll be dead ass broke riding with style

Step 1 ($80)

AEM, Injen or Fujita CAI (Cold Air Intake)

Step 3 ($300)
Unorthodox Racing SC Pulley

Step 4 ($85)
Tints (depending on how the cops are around you do 35% on the 2 front and 20% on the remainder)

Step 5 ($1500-2500)
A-Spec Rims (18" offered in 2 styles silver or chrome)

Step 10 ($150-$250)
Finally and most importantly get a nice amp and sub for that roomy trunk

 

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.

 

thanks for all in put, trying to hack NAV , but couldnt get to work...also, i am researching on CarPC

 

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 ...

 

what is moleskin?

 

^^ it goes on the inside of doors where window comes out to prevent it (the tint) from getting scratched

 

Wow, been here almost a week now..Very interesting forum. Nice ppl and nice car too..

 

Some peeps like to mod there car. Of course you not going to get all your money back.

 

teng your back to posting!!! haha

 

are you going to recoup your money back on the car itself?

 

this teng guy is like a waste of posts man almost 100 posts on nothing

 

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.

 

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.
