Your plans for your 3G this spring?
What are your guys plans for your 3G this spring?I have a few items on my list I wish to finish as summer starts.
Priority list
Get new front and rear tires and a tpms sensor.
Get my bumper painted and dent on hood fixed.
Cold air intake and 50% windshield tint.
Lowering springs and RSB.
Last would be to vinyl roof gloss black and rims gloss black.
After that I consider myself done. I hope to stay with the car another two years, by that time I should have 70k miles and would trade it in for f30 335.

I'm looking to install the A-Spec that's coming from Ack's GB. Also I have my tail lights coming from Ack. So I have to get those installed. I am looking at headlights from JnC so that would be pretty sweet. I'm also installing my aluminum pedals and trunk lip...hopefully this wknd! More to come this summer....hopefully drop, CAI and black rimz.

I really want an Aspec kit but I want to find a CBP one since Acura discontinued the color I can't go buy one. So...
Aspec kit (CBP)
lowering springs
Progress RSB
vinyl roof
roor visor
Type S license plate bracket
wheel spacers
The suspension items will probably happens before anything else since I'm a corner junkie. Aspec kit will happen last unless I find a deal.
Once I PCS and have some extra income the list will include...
RV6 HFPC
RV6 V3 jpipe
RV6 True Duel
and I'm tossing around the idea of a super charger.

Ideally I want to pay this damn car off 
Everything I want is too expensive, so I think I'll get some new camera stuff.

Possibly:
Getting new wheels if I can sell my 5Zigens
New rotors and pads
Powder coating my 5Zigens black if I can't sell them
Wheel spacers if I don't get new wheels
For sure:
Thule roof rack
Painting calipers (green)
Green lug nuts
Going to try to go ~.25" lower than last summer if I can manage to DD that ride height.
Tint (back is already 35% from when I bought the car. Debating if I should get the front matched or if I should have it all torn off for 20% all around).

Just 6000K HID for fog that all for now. My main focus is to pay the car off first prior to modding.

Getting my license in April (Yes, I'm only 15 
) and will be taking my mothers '06 TL! So excited, even though the insurance is up to me and that is going to kill my savings. My planned mods for the upcoming few months are probably going to be very minor.
I really want to look into a roof spoiler.
After that, I am looking into a carbon fiber Type-S shift knob (pretty minor, but I love CF) and possibly an iPod connector such as iSimple.
Once I save up enough, I really want to look into the A SPEC kit for my RBP TL, even though that probably won't be a long time.

full exterior detail which consists of a wash, polishing, polymer wax, then a carnauba wax. as for mods, i'm fairly happy right now and in maintenance mode. perhaps i'll replace some of the burned out steering wheel lights.

New rear pads/rotors, new tires, and some good detailing. Getting her ready to be sold this summer. Ideally looking for something with AWD as I'll be living in Michigan this fall.

Gains are 2-4 hp. It's more beneficial in summer months when heat soak lags the engine of cooler air. I would assume it would be the same with or without a cai. Several members claim that the stock intake is essential a cai

06 Anthracite TL
Maintain it (nothing needed now but oil changes)
Wash it when needed
Drive it.
It's as modded as it's going to get for quite a while.
