Just bought my TL last weekend
Hi guys, just bought a 06 TL last weekend and I already have the modding bug. I'm new on this forum and just wanted some thoughts on what's the first thing I should do.

Nice NBP!

Rims/drop should always be first.

NBP, ABP is the color of your car.

For instance, your's is black, NBP=Nighthawk Black Pearl.

Tints first, then its up to you!
I think you should drop it before you do anything.
New rims will look better. Aspec body kit will look better.

awesome thanks for the response guys. im thinking of doing the tint first.

how much do a-spec body kits go for? can i get this direct from the dealer or would it be better to buy somewhere else?

kit goes for about $800 thru hondacuraworld.com - legit and definitely better deal/cheaper than thru your dealer who will charge something like $1100. Plus they'll charge something like $300 to install so you can easily do it yourself. tons of stuff here on the forums

Welcome! You gotta start off big for your first mod. Type-S A-Spec rear lip with ATLP exhaust. Happy modding!
