you're going to get biased answers.

why not ask your self, what YOU want to do?
what do you feel the car is lacking?
or what can you do to make the car yours?

Ask yourself what YOU want to do, first.
Performance?
looks?

and you can always browse the forums and look at all the pretty pictures to find out about ideas that others have done.

*edit: FUCK YOU AARON.

I'd recommend a j-pipe, CAI, lightweight crank pulley, and a rear sway bar.

Of course, we are going to recommend our XLR8 j-pipe. Here is a link to our newest pipe.

http://store.excelerateperformance.c.../i-494454.aspx

The AEM V2 CAI is our most popular intake for the 3rd gen TL; FUJITA is out of business or on their way out so I don't recommend their intake.

UR Lightweight Crank Pulley

http://store.excelerateperformance.c.../i-284844.aspx

Progress 24mm Adjustable Rear Sway Bar

So what if fujita is going out of business is it still a good product? I understand the concept that they are going out of business b/c ppl aren't buying, but that doesnt necessarily that there CAI isn't good. Just wondering b/c I'm in the middle of a deal of buying one lol
