So i own a Acura TL 2004 automatic and am new to all this mod stuff. i got my car about two months ago maybe a little more and have made basically no changes but have a little money to make a change. Iv put on my Tein S-Tech spring and this is what it looks like





I may go to the shop and paint the rims a grey metallic that looks good on my car, Can you guys give some suggestions of if this is the right move and if not what would be the better decision? thank you guys.

 

It's your car, do whatever you want with it. Not everyone will have the same taste as you. Some will like it, some will dislike it. Overall you own the vehicle, you choose what you want done to it. That's just what I think.

 

I totally agree with you just looking for suggestions on some peoples tastes and what they would do to it. thanks tho

 

Check out the photo section. You can get ideas there. It's pretty much up to you. You will want to go Coils though, I'm sure of it.

 

welcome and congrats if you are looking for a change then this is the right place .

 

The A-Spec lip kit changes the whole look of the car. Contact member "AckTL05" for a great deal.

Keep the wheels silver. You need to have some contrast for everything to flow together well

 

Yeah man if you want to upgrade the looks, the next step should be the a-spec kit (my opinion). Nice ride man, congrats!

 

Thanks guys I appreciate it.

 

I just dont want to go that low cuz im in hs and cant afford it so i may not get kit but thanks

 

I'd do TL-S tail-lights and rear sidemarkers, the A-spec kit (get the TL-S one if you plan on doing a quad exhaust later on! I'd also recommend some wheels (once time for tires come around) and overall maintenance.

Look at the front control arm bushings and make sure they aren't cracked, same with the motor mounts. Also if it's an auto transmission, change the fluid religiously every 15-30K miles!

Do you want performance or looks? If performance, I'd invest in the J-pipe after getting the maintenance done

 

more looks honestly im in highschool i dont have money ora need to up the performance.

 

You're in high school? I say you save up your money for college. But that's just me.. The car is a great car, if you're already on a budget, I wouldn't go modding already and save up for when shit hits the fan with maintenance or the infamous transmission on the older TL's.

But its your car, your money, so you can do what you want with it

 

Roof spoiler- cheap mod for looks.

thanks im so anxious to get mods even tho im in high school, imma get the aspec lip kit all around and just paint emblems for right now till i get more money haha.

 

Iv been on that thread for a while now seems like everyone likes the interior leds and cheap may do that too

 

true my tl only has 70000 miles tho and runs like new, u think problems come at any mileage rather than for high mileaed cars?

 

The kit doesn't make your car any lower. Maybe the front lip goes 1\4" lower, but that's about it. The kit is pricey, but really, it's the sexiest mod you can do.

For cheap thrills, I agree, the roof spoiler is a good addition.

I personally feel that oem rims should never be powder coated. It just screams "well I couldn't afford aftermarket rims so I just painted the only set I had". Plus, as soon as you do that, the value of those wheels goes down by 50%. Not worth it.

 

Just don't paint them some ricey-ass color, please don't plasti dip your wheels either.

 

Just an overall bad transmission design for the 04-06. some go out faster than others, some don't go out at all.


Don't listen to me, I'm being a party pooper with all this responsibility bullshit. I don't think you came on to this forum for that, Do what makes you happy

 

haha thanks guys I decided I wasnt gonna paint my rims im gonna keep stockies the same color...until i buy new rims.
Once i get the kit im gonna do little things like leds and hopefully clear my headlights. does anyone know where I can get a good price for cleared headlights and sidemarkers

 

Smart man! That'll be a good, clean look for your car. As far as side markers are concerned, you can pick up the smoked ones from the TL-S. As for headlights, there are a few vendors on here that can help you out- I believe JnC is one, and Ack is another... Search for headlight mod threads and you'll see who these guys are soon enough.
