You should get one of those electric turbos off ebay. You can net like 40-50 WHP off one of those! Then some new exhaust tips, an APC wing and some stickers....

Really? This is going to be your first post?

Ok, first off, WELCOME! This is a great site here, with tons of useful knowledge.

Please take the time and look around at different pictures, descriptions, ideas etc. There really is no way we can tell you what to do with your car. You can get ideas by looking through the threads.

Do you want looks or performance? How much money do you have to spend? etc. etc. etc.

congrats on your purchase and welcome to the forums

There are ton's of things you can do for your car, but it comes down to what you like and what you want to spend money on. The most universal thing you can do for your TL is tint it Take a look at some of the rides on here and see what you like and go from there!

Tint was the absolute first thing I did! And if you're on a budget, there is a nice DIY on how to paint your stock rims. Here is a pic of my AM with the stockies painted. It all depends on what you're looking for; style or appearance. You can always add a CAI for ~$200 from the Black Market. Welcome to AZ Let the mods begin!

blacking out the roof looks hella sexy on silver TL's. smoked concaved Rims also look real good on silver. ASPEC lip is a must. trunk lip looks good. Drop it. AEM V2 CAI intake.

Welcome! There are many things you can do to your car. But, do you want to go for "show" or "go"?

Not sure why you didn't like his first post. I'm sure the op is just excited and doesn't know where to begin.

You need to decide if you want show or go or a little of both. For performance it is either supercharger/turbo or NA which includes modifying the intake and exhaust. If you are thinking of changing wheels get a drop first or you will look like a 4x4.

Good luck man and welcome.

you should do what you want to do. its your car. theres way too many of these threads lately.

most people do aspec kit, drop, rims, headlights, etc. pretty standard stuff for any car modding.

search around in the photography section to see what you like.

dont look for other peoples approval. Look at things you want to do and ask questions on how to do them if you cant find a diy.
