My First TL check it out

Hi, just picked her up 3 days ago. This is my first acura and my first TL. Great upgrade from a 02 civic. I just love it. Here are some pics to start things up. Will be modding it soon. Probally fogs and interior leds. Let me know what you all think

Yeap OP, I can see it now. First coilovers, then A-spec kit, new shoes, UR pulley, ATLP exhaust and some other goodies. I guess you will not be visiting the Food Mart, that's in the pictures much, LOL. Seriously, congrats! Looks pretty clean.

You see the two circles on your front bumper where the word "ACURA" is indented? thats where the front license plate is suppose to mount. if you're gonna rock no front plate, get the plugs thats suppose to be there from a dealership.

Wow, they look so sweet and innocent when they're totally stock and unmodded. It's almost like they are so proud-sitting the way they are-unknowingly begging to be modified.

for wood trim, look here http://www.automotiveconcepts.net/st...select=2004-UP

They also sell the "ACURA" sticker for the front bumper for about 25 dollars. its one of those cheap mods you can do if you dont plan to use the front plate. heres a pic

and for the plugs, go to any acura dealership and ask if they have any extras lying around. Your car is suppose to come with those plugs anyway. if they want you to pay, it shouldnt be more than 20 dollars i hope.

I have to disagree I think a great first mod would be to debadge and LEDs are a good second mod.

Welcome to the boards! WDP the same color of crack so you will be addicted immediately.

i dont have the dash trims, its stock just like yours. i feel the extra wood trims are over-kill, and other trims dont look good on parchment interior.

Hey that's my picture fucker! Hahaha I'm just kidding around. Use the link the guy above me gave you. Some think the extra woodgrain is "overkill", but I think that all of the black plastic around the cupholders is "overkill", so I got the extra kit. My girlfriend got me the wood shifter for my birthday last month. I think it looks great! It's not cheap, but it's well worth the money in my opinion.
