Quick and inexpensive mods?

Hello everyone,

I'm about to pick up my 2006 TL this Wednesday and I want to hear your suggestions for cheap and inexpensive mods.

I'm considering getting new wheels as well, so any recommendations regarding tires and rims would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks everyone, it feels great to be a part of the Acura community!

welcome to the forum
If you click on Garage- in the header of any thread, thats the DIY section
Good place to start for mods
air filter, brakes
go to tirerack.com for tire options- click on a review with a TL icon and it will show only tire reviews from TL owners
General Exclaim UHP are great tire for the low price
Goodyear F1s hang on long past your desire to turn that hard

Besides those you'll have to get some money out of you pocket

As for the wheels search for some picture thread and you'll have a good idea of whitch one you want!

Tires, I drive some GoodYear Eagle F1 Gs All Season and They are amazing!

Welcome and good lucK with your new ride!

QFT, something I learned on this site, "Power, Price and Reliability, you can only choose 2 of the 3."

OT: man it's been forever since I posted on here, I remember when it was still acuratl.com, jeez.

Yeah, I was in love with my ABP 02 Type-S, now I'm looking into getting a 3rd gen TL so I came back to my "home". I'm still deciding if I should get a base TL, so I'm less resistant to modding, or if I should get a newer TL-S, still in hopes of trying to not mod it.

But it's hard to resist the sound of the ATLP Quad exhaust.....
