congrats bro...alot of people will say get an aspec kit (OEM option to add front side and back lips) but id say go for a drop first

i would suggest coilovers as opposed to springs bc once you go low, youll wanna go lower ^___^ and coilovers you can adjust

its a first step to standing apart from all the other TLS that have old white women driving them

for a sec i thought this said "pube". you're from NJ, so tint isn't a good idea (I am too). Searching for "ebay lip spoiler" - first and only thing I've done so far and it's worth it.

if you need your 105k service done for MUCH less than what acura dealers charge - search for Hamilton Honda.

If you have some $$$, and you really want to stand out, then you can go with the RJ kit.

Welcome and congrats!

You need to get a theme going for your car and then base the purchase of parts around what you want the car to look like. The A-Spec kit changes the whole look of the car. A drop is a must as well. Tint the windows too.

What's a "nube" ?

Tint first, for a fast mod.

then move on to spec lip kit, 19" rims ( Volks, Ron Jon, EXE look hot, skies the limit) Drop IT!! at least 1.5" for of a more noticable look (suspension would be good, springs are good for budgets), type-s side markers, type-s tail lights, roof spoiler, atlp quade exhaust (you'll need to get type-s aspec bumper), interior LED conversion.... but yeah, you can tint, really affective towards the look.

Wikipedia says...

Newbie is a slang term for a newcomer or somebody inexperienced in any profession or activity. Contemporary use can particularly refer to a beginner or new user of computers, often concerning Internet activity, such as ACURAzine.com. It can have derogatory connotations, but is also often used for descriptive purposes only, without a value judgement.

That sounds like a good guide. How much would something like that range? I'm looking for a TL now and notice that the general price over the base w/navi is 4-7k more for the Type S. Trying to do a cost benefit analysis lol. Thanks!

Best advice so far. There are three ways you can go with this car. You can build a time attack car, a VIP inspired car, or a simple and clean car. First mod i did to the car aside from tint was a drop on coilovers. A lowered car imo with stock body and wheels looks much better than a car with wheels and a-spec. Good luck with your mods.
