Aspec, drop (Coilovers preferably .. they will save you money in the long run. Or you can go the cheap way out and just get the springs), then move to engine work .. your car will look very aggressive & sporty.

But ya, to each it's own I guess. What ever suits you, it's your car. I'm not a fan tho...
Don't listen to what people has to say, it's your car you have to stare at it.

Happy modding!

You guys would be shocked to know he probably bought the car with the boogy chrome strips... Mine came with chrome pillars, taking those off was my #1 mod

Chrome is nice and all, occasionally, I would preffer seeing some gun metal or hyper black on a silver car

This must be the "Type A" that ebay has all the cool body parts for....



Body parts from Shucks should never EVER ever find a home on a TL...EVER
Remove all chrome...to include the wheels

Don't let all these comments scare you away.

It's your ride and you can do what you think looks good to you.

I'm not a fan of the chrome on the lights, but I think it would "clean up" in the back if you removed your "acura" and your "tl" badge on the trunk. Dental floss and goo-gone would be your friends for that.


Oh, and to the CAI and throttle body spacer.

Guys it's up to him what he likes. Posting your opinion about the wheels and chrome is fine, but let's try to keep some of the more insulting remarks to yourselves. On that note, the chrome isn't too much for me either ... any more mods in the near future???

Well First of all, Welcome to AZ

I know it's your car, so rock what you like, but not feeling the chrome "trims", makes the car look really cheap. Not feeling the design of the chrome rims either

My advice=Drop
