You gotta narrow things down a bit, unless vague is your thing... Performance, looks?

sigh, dude, can you please be a it more specific? even your narrowed down response is too vague


based on your answer i'd say, ronjon body kit for looks, CT engineering supercharger for performance, and then to even out the performance gains a BBK upgrade.


but without really stating a budget and what not it's pretty much....eh....

Supercharger
Coilovers
Lip kit or ronjon body kit
fresh a$$ wheels
not sure if you have a type-s or not -----> atlp exhaust ----> actually, i say, custom fab and exhaust just for variation
progress rear sway bar

Murder it. Get some black wheels. and black out the headlights.

and much more.

with 10k, the possibilities are endless

Orrrrr......take that money and go to some guys who do great work and tell them to do some R&D on a custom turbo for a TL and become the first turbo TL!

You may want to check out the Black Market vendor group buys for some of your mods, to save a little $$$$.

https://acurazine.com/forums/sponsored-sales-group-buys-10/

With black/black and 20% tint, I agree with going with the murder look.

Black rims with chrome/polished lip, black head and tail lights. That would look gangsta.........

Depends what look you are going for...

Sporty = 18'
Classy yet subtle sportiness - 19'

dub OD (too much on a TL) status - 20'

$10,000 hmm

What would I get?


Lightweight wheels, the Enkei RPF1s are a really lightweight wheel and look sick on the TL.
Coilovers, H&R or Tein seem to be good choices!
New Tires, Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position
A-spec kit
Rear Sway bar, Progress seems to make the best one
Brake upgrade, Cross-drilled and Slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads
Performance, Comptech Supercharger and ATLP J-pipe

People will say hey get 20" wheels they look hot, yeah they might (not really), but those over-sized wheels really slow you down, light weight wheels will give you better gas mileage and your car will be faster. It's rotational weight removing 10lbs from each wheel will mean you've practically removed 200lbs from your car.

You don't really need an exhaust with the Supercharger, if you keep the stock exhaust no one will know you're supercharged until you're 5 cars ahead! :thumpsup:

The ATLP J-Pipe is the best bang for your buck mod, 8~11WHP and 8~11WTQ for only 400 bucks.

I could think of a million different things you could spend $10,000 on rather than a depreciating car that won't even reach 12s with those mods.

Happy spending.

That's true, but if I had money I'd rather invest it in my TL than buy an EVO and get a 12sec car with a few mods.

Why?

Being unique, I guess.

Oh to be honest, I can't see myself spending 10K or more on mods for the TL .
