Too much free time, What can/should I do?

Anybody got any ideas of what I could do to my TL for free to little cost at home? I've got too much free time on my hands for the next two weeks.

I'm sure it could use some paint correction.

Since you've got an auto, you could do this: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/110-diy-guide-replacing-3rd-4th-gear-pressure-switch-3g-tl-2004-2006-a-729149/

List thus far:
- Clean interior
- Wash and Wax Car
- Seafoam the car
- Anything else?

*Paint correction, say what? lol. Like with the touch-up paint provided by Acura.

Black-out/clear your headlights, de-badge the rear, paint your emblems, paint your engine covers, paint your grill, replace your interior lights/license plate lights/reverse lights with LEDs. There's plenty. Just go to the 3G Garage, keep scrolling down until you see something that catches your eye

anyone got photoshop skills?

Washed the car today and thoroughly shined the tires. Good lookin' haha. . http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/a...2794891&ref=mf

*Didn't want to start a new thread but...SPOTTED! A 04-06 WDP TL in Sabre Springs in the apartment complex across the street from AM-PM and Alvaro's. Hella' clean look! WDP, tinted tail lights, Dropped LOW-LOW on Stockies that were painted flat black, Decklid Spoiler, Tint, De-Badged Rear except for the "A" emblem and an A-spec rear. Don't know if it had the whole kit.
I left a note under his windshield wiper asking if he was on A-Zine. Hopefully he'll get back to me by seeing this thread. Would love to find out what he's got under the hood.

*Could someone who's familiar with photoshop take a stock 04-06 SSM TL and; (paint black or gunmetal for all)
- Paint the rear emblems Black ("A", Acura, and TL)
- Put a black overlay on the grill (Surrounding portion, not the mid bar)
- Paint the front emblem "A" black as well
- and finally Paint the stock rims black but leave the center cap silver with a black "A".
