We can't really tell you what mods to do to your car since we all have different tastes. Just browse the photo gallery and see what catches your eye.

Popular choice is a drop! Then everything after that is icing on the cake!

J-pipe gives a lot of power. Swapping that is equal to swapping headers on other v6's.

If u want to go performance first ,skip the CAi and go j-pipe than remove your intake resonator. CAI is a waste of money imo. now if your going visual mods first, definatly aspec kit, drop, or mayb tint? Post pics though, we dont know what she looks like.

edit- didnt see you said you already bought the CAI, so forget what i said on that.

^ CAI provide a better flow than our stocks; its the filter that you should be more concern about.

Anyway, OP there is a sticky thread on the performance section (1st one), check that out. Also, google 3G TL for newbies.

I would skip the CAI and go straight to J-pipe, all CAI give you is noise oh and loose torque at low RPM. J-pipe give you gain and this proved on dyno, like everyone else posted the list could go on and on if you have money to spend but for my list it should look like this.

1. A-spec lip kit.

2. Suspension.

4. Rims

5. J-pipe

6. Exhaust

since you already have to get a tire, I'd get some wheels and a drop.
