nice looking TL bro

i do agree with going coilovers over springs. you can get yourself a nice adjustable set

I also agree on the 3k HID fogs over the tint, the output makes a huge difference

Rims look great, im a sucker for TSW's

go out and make the car your own, if it suits your style, go for it.

aw thank you guys (: im happy some people like my car on here lol. i am trying my best i know im a female and i may not know much but i learn something new every day. when i lower her i dont want to go too low just because the roads around my house are HORRIBLE. where do you suggest i get coilovers from? i also need to put yellow HID bulbs in the fog lights because it does come out much brighter.

Purple tow hook
Purple lug nuts
Name ends with "xxo"

Already knew she was a girl

Anywho, I'd settle for Tein SS if you wanna get her dropped

At least you're a girl that's willing to try. Most girls don't even know what car they drive, let alone mod it. They just get it because it's "cute"

If you don't want to slam it, springs work fine. I have Tein S-tech's on Tokico struts, and my ride quality is fine. Rides like stock, if not better. Only reason I'm going to sell them is because I've got The Tein SS coilovers and now plan on slamming the car. I'd drop it before any other mods. I'd rather have a lowered stock car than a lifted modded car

yeah im probably just going to go with the springs. it def. feels good when someone talks to you about your car & compliments it. especially since i am a girl with a tl type s. you dont see many of them around.

Gotta say, I've seen more females driving a TL-S than males.
Most TL owners are girls

Then again, I don't see many TLs in the area

You get a bit of both sides. I was 17 when I bought my SRT-4, so I had to deal with a ton of kids trying to convince me that mommy bought my car Guess it must suck to not know what it means to work and manage your money Getting other's input on your car is fine, just be sure that you do the mods that YOU want to do, not what other people say to do.

A good set of shocks in addition to springs will do you just fine.

But if you go coils go all out and buy Tein SS. Adjustability FTW

Agreed on the a-spec.. Although none of the TL's in my area have them. Car is looking good, very surprising for a chick lol No offense. I think it's a little TOO much black though I definitely would've left the tails stock or traded them for some tinted base tails. To each his own. Wait, too each HER own

Since you're a woman- 4x4 status with non-OEM wheels is an automotive fashion faux pas.

And the tow hook...does your car get towed on a daily basis?

so much drama!

just do what you want to do, just don't flip out so easily. Not everyone is going to like the color purple.

Wait, ur not going to do aspec cuz everyone has it? but you'll easliy put a useless tow hook which everyother civic has? hmmm.... ok, but make sure to put racing pin strips, hood scope, and some air vents on the side for maximum performance, then it'll look HAWT!!

Do what makes you happy with your ride...to each his own ( or her in this case! ) my opinion on the tow hook. ahh not so much for me...purple lug nut are ok on a girls car I guess! I wouldn't do any colored jammies on mine though. I've seen a few dudes with some anodized red joints that didn't look too bad, but those cars had thousands of dollars dumped into them, far from stock
