My new (to me) '04 TL
Well here it is... My RSX replacement. I have to kill the gold emblems and maybe a rear glass spoiler..

Doubt it, the stance is great when lowered but when I put my RSX on Eibach's with a buddy Club 2 kit and was constantly repairing front bumper. I live in TN and the roads/inclines tend to be extreme. This is my DD so it will see action in the winter as well. Below are a few of my old car. As you can hopefully tell, I prefer subtle mods.

The new TL also has drilled and slotted rotors.. I hope it's not cheap ebay stuff that the previous owner installed. Need to pull a wheel for a better look...

Congrats on your new ride Vamarris. Enjoy your new TL. I do recommend the roof spoiler-they're great.

Welcome...moving up to Knoxville (Tazewell actually) myself in about a week. Are the winter conditions that bad for driving with a dropped car?

If the roads have been plowed, the snow builds up into blocks on the sides of the road. If you are pulling into a lot or DW you have to drive through them. The other concern is roadkill and animals. Many very rural areas where hitting a critter is a real possibility. However, the Aspec lip would not be as low the kit that was on my RSX.
