Does anyone know where the f*** I can find parts for this car?

Sup guys. 20, from Colorado, and just bought my first 04 TL BASE Abyss Blue Pearl 5 speed automatic. Does anyone know where I can find exterior parts? I can’t find none for the life of me. I’m looking for lips, splitters, side skirts, canards, carbon fiber parts, and anything else in between. I know of the A Spec lip kit but that’s it, and also Endless RPM has some stuff but not enough for me to mod my car. I’m getting bored of this car already.

There isn't much beyond the A-Spec out there and even that is getting hard to find these days; sounds like it is time to sell the car before you slam it (and ruin the resale value), and buy something else with more aftermarket support.

You should be saving in case your transmission goes out.

How are you getting bored of it if you just bought it?

Also, check the black market.

But in all honestly. 2004 Autotragic TL.... Keep some money on the side incase the transmission goes.

should have done your research before you bought the car, homie.
the 3G TL doesnt have a wide variety of aftermarket parts available for it...

But, you bought a 6 speed, not an Autotragic.

I was originally looking at six speed G35's.

I get all my quality aftermarket parts by just taking them off of other people's cars. It's so cheap and effective, I have no idea why no one else is doing the same.

At this point I strongly suspect we won't be seeing any more of bombahhhh; one (silly) post and done.

According to his timestamps, it looks like he logged in here a little over 8 hours after he made his post, saw the first 16 responses, and hit the highway.

Isn't it that eBay has a lot of aftermarket parts for our TL? I figured just not as much as a 1990s Civic/Integra.

I think he is looking for aftermarket bumpers.
there are a few but are either discontinued and or made of fiberglass. (you want the plastic kind cuz fiberglass will chip and break and then you'll be in the same situation)

You’re dumb dude, shut up. You’re all just being rude. I got this car cause a wrx was too expensive atm and also something cheap for insurance and monthly payments while I’m in college studying. I’ll soon be done so this car is just for now, and I’m already ordering visors, rear roof spoiler, and got my headlights restored. So, all you can shut the fuck up being a bunch of little bitches. All I asked for is for some help when I tried researching already and you guys can’t even help lol, bunch of old fucks thinking they’re the shot with their ugly ass Honda’s. Shut the fuck up please, what kind of community is this.

Yup, you're a classic punk kid from the "entitled" generation; fortunately for the rest of us there are some shining examples of kids coming into the working world who have a friggin' clue, you just ain't one of them.

Do some research, further than a simple google search. Read the forums, search the forums. Too many kids these days expecting handouts and having it all done for them. Just another typical millennial that should have had manners beaten into them as a child.


If you want body kits, wings, curb feelers, TINTS, subs, donks, find a different car. These are perfect with the A-spec Kit and a drop.

Hell, I'm in my 60s, not only do I not feel old, but I'll bet I can run that kid's butt into the ground on a long run, say, anything five miles or longer.

What's up with these 20 year olds trying to play cool saying they are "bored of this car already"? Wheres he think he's steppin into next, an M3?

His parents were loving enough to get him something other than a 1998 Honda Civic as his first car, and he's just "too cool for it".

Was I like that when I was 19? No, I bought my own Civic and built my own turbo.

Children like him is why I keep being putting off having one.

I guess I was fortunate enough to raise my son correctly (at least from a car perspective); he's 23 and just mustered out of the Navy as a Second Class Petty Officer and has a 1996 Miata "M" Edition to which he added a Flyin' Miata turbo kit, and 1990 Ford F-150 with the 4.9 liter I6 and a 5-Speed manual, and now a brand spankin' new Ford Fiesta ST. The only mod he's planning on for the Fiesta is a set of winter wheels and tires.
