JJJumpman23's ABP TL

This is my '04 ABP TL. Lightly modded-- tints, painted rims, debadged, and painted emblems/grill.
Want to put some money into some performance mods, right now basically everything is stock.
With basically a fresh slate, any suggestions on what should be done first? Thanks.

Jump, if you're looking to performance mods, consider the J-pipe and exhaust.

Jump, I'm not sure on pricing. Check out the Performance Section of the 3G TL Community and see if there are some Group Buys still available. We have 2 Vendors (RV6 and Excelerate) that offer these products.

Looks good!

I would lower it and get the A-Spec kit then focus on the performance parts. Like others have mentioned, go with a j-pipe first. It gives the best bang for your buck.

to find a abp outside of the dealership you have to get very lucky, and acura has outsourced the making of the aspec side skirt
