My new PPM '08 TL

Just got it this weekend. Polished metal metallic is the color (I think). Low mileage and so far I am liking it.

I need suggestions on some good cheap mods that I can do . Only mod I did was install some blue led lights for the doors.











Last picture is my other car 2008 BMW 528i.

Just wondering why a second sedan? Unless you plan on getting rid of the 528

Keeping both cars. I liked the TL and I want to put less miles on my 5 series. So it was a great choice for me. Thanks for the comments .

Welcome! Nice Color! I would say another cheap mod would be the keyhole delete.? It's around $10-$15. Debadge.? I am trying to think of others, there is a thread on here about this exact subject (cheaper mods).

Should I debadge the Acura and TL or just Acura? Does anyone know where I can pick up a set of black Acura logo for cheap? I don't want to pay $180 for emblems.

And how about a matte black grille?

Debadge the Acura and TL.
Cling on tint--up to you
You could remove the A on the back and paint it whatever color you would like, then stick it back on.

Thanks.

But I want to keep the TL. You think it will look bad? If I have just the Acura emblem and the TL logo?

^It is up to you. I prefer both gone, but you could always remove Acura and see what you think with leaving the TL. If you look around in some threads you will see what it looks like debadged.

Congrats!

I would take off the ACURA and TL emblems so the rear end of the car is symmetrical. If you leave the TL on, then the right side will look cluttered compared to the left

Congrats on your new TL. Window tints are a must for any TL-get the good stuff, don't scrimp. Then an Aspec Kit will really finish off the look.

by far, the best thing you can quickly and cheaply do (and should do immediately) is remove those crap window visors. they look god awful. if you happen to like that look, however, get the OEM ones that at least sort of work with the car. not touching the rear quarter window just screams cheap aftermarket part. and your car is so much nicer than that. thats my 2 cents. take it or leave it. congrats on car.
