I have a 04 tl auto. I dont have much money, but i try to find the cheaper mods for my car. I have an injen intake, I removed my mid muffler and replacing the stock resonator with a dyno one. I have some fog lights on the way as well as leds for the sidemarkers. Anyone have a good affordable mod to do next?

 

rear sway bar.

I'd get this moved to the 3G section too.

 

thanks, I'm trying to figure this website out...

 

and whats that do exactly?

 

I will play. Hopefully this does not turn out like other newbie threads.

First you need to figure out your budget
2nd you need to figure out you want performance (handling/power) or looks since you said you have a small budget for mods.
3rd wheels/tires and springs (budget friendly) are probably the most noticeable exterior modification you can do to a car.
4th if you want power, and if 04 TL is anything like CL, then header + high flow cat + your injen intake will be good enough for now.

 

my budget depends on what im buying mainly. for example I'm not willing to spend $1000 on a new exhaust, but I will do small things like how i bought the resonator. i would like to do more power mods. I already have rims and tires (they arent exactly what i wanted but i settled with my budget). Springs sounds like a good next option, I've been wanting to lower it. I googled springs to get a price range, you think $160ish i can get some decent ones?

 

you can go to black market section and get some used ones for cheap. and they are steel tubes.. so most likely there shouldn't be any problem with used ones.
but installation will run you around another $150ish. and since your TL is almost 10 years old, it is a good idea to get some new shocks while you are at it to save on installation cost.

you will feel the difference right away.

i'd recommend some coilovers but i think it might be a over kill for your needs and good ones are not cheap.

 

Debadge .... It's basically a free mod if you have the materials
LEDs ...
Budget?

i accidentally posted this somewhere else and this is one of my replies

was also thinking of replacing the door lights (the ones that light up the floor) and putting blue leds? what were you thinking?

Welcome to AcuraZine.

 

I wouldn't do anything else performance wise to that car. That transmission can't handle it. Just go for looks. Lower it, maybe some rims and call it a day.

 

thanks man, never thought searching cheap mods haha. looks like it has good info.

 

LED Interior is always a nice cheap mod.

Power wise, the jpipe or pre cat deletes should be next on your list

Moved to correct forum.

 

and merged.

 

Weight removal:

And suspension.

The 3G TL doesn't have headers. They are cast into the heads. High flow pre-cats or deleting them is our version of headers.

 

Think about tints yet too? Interior LEDs? rear spoiler?
