NHB TL looking for more mods

Here are some picks of my 04 TL. Anyone have any good mod ideas that won't void the warrenty? I like the brembos, but $2000 for the set is pretty high of a price.

http://stationm.com/tl/2004AcuraTL/tl-index.html

Current mods:
Outside:
Comptech springs - (drop 1 inch all round)
Body kit
Lip spoiler
Enkei RPM2 wheels 18" - (will change soon back to original wheel, got them painted black chrome)

Inside:
JBL 12" woofer & amp with custom box
-Still thinking about getting TV

The intake won't void the warrenty? I don't think I will change the exhaust, I like the way it looks now. But I will check into the other things that you mentioned at my local dealer. They usually can hook me up with some good prices.

the intake will not void the warranty unless they can prove that the problem (if/when it occurs) was directly caused because of the intake

Wheel/Tire specs?

I really like the look of that wheel/tire package. Could you give me the specs? I've always kept cars bone stock, but you're combo is making me think twice. The lease is almost up on my 2G TL-S and so I'm looking to get a head start. Thanks.

Offset and bolt pattern 18 x 8J/35/ 5-114.3
And tire size would be 235/45R18 or 245/40R18
You can also do 19", check around the post for the specs. But almost all car manufacturers recommend only 2" wheel size upgrade.

Enkei RPM2, but I think their new wheel RP03 will look better.

Thanks

I like the RPM2's on a sedan, particularly the TL, much better. Your tires look perfectly flush with the wheels, do you have 235's or 245's on them? I'm thinking they're 235's because the wheels are only 8" wide as opposed to the 8.5" wide A-SPEC wheels. Also, I'm seeing internet quotes between $250-$350/wheel. Do you mind if I ask how much you paid?

The tires are 235. They are pretty flush with the car.
My company works with Enkei, we paint their wheels.
I think I paid around $200 per a wheel, I gotta double check later.

One more Q....

Do you have 5AT or 6M? I'm looking to get a 6M and wanted to make sure that these clear the Brembo's. Thanks!

Don't feel so bad, so did mine. Oh well, it's still a MUCH better car than the V6 04 Accord Coupe that I traded in for my TL.

Do you know if the TSX grill can fit on a TL? That grill looks much better than the TL grill.

How much of a difference does the K&N OEM filter make?
