Not a bad start but a question I'm sure someone will eventually ask...
Why does your paint look so sparkly? Like, it's very sparkly. Even your tinted headlights match the paint.
And to start you can get the bumper plugs for the front bumper.
Common mods from there are tinted windows, roof spoiler [eBay], TL-S side markers and tails. List goes on.
Most will probably tell you to remove those tinted headlights.

The car would look SO much better without the headlight tint. I did the tint thing for a while and I regret it. Properly have them blacked out.
I'm not a huge fan of the wheels but as long as you like them, that's all that matters. They would look better if the car was dropped.
Besides that, the A-Spec kit looks great! I like how you haven't changed the taillights, they give a nice amount of contrast to the rest of the murdered out car.
Oh and lose the license plate frame

just some suggestions
remove headlight tint - when someone sees your car from 50ft+ driving towards them it looks like a car with no headlights. i don't know if you like that or what, but i like my car to have contrast. plus the headlights on the 3gen acura TL is beautiful. have you seen what it looks like when your driving and you see a fellow TL in the rear view or side view mirror? its GORGEOUS to look at. you putting tint on 3gen tl headlights is covering up the beauty of this car. of course, this is just my opinion
vinyl or plastidip the silver trim on your front grill to black
replace your aftermarket window visors for OEM window visors <- not cheap. or just get rid of your aftermarket ones period.
remove license plate frame
window tint <- not cheap
type-s rear side marker, or you can niteshade tint it black
vinyl or plastidip the silver trim above your license plate frame in the rear.
get coilovers <- not cheap
accord fog lights retrofit
BTW, your trunk lip isn't the type-s lip spoiler.

Got The Midas Touch
I'm with most people and think you should remove the headlight tint, if you want them black best bet is crack them open and paint from the inside. Plus the TL has such great lights why would you want to cut the output by tinting the outside? I love my blacked out headlights and whenever I drive by a car with tinted headlights I laugh and love how mine are actually a quality mod and not the quick fast mod to attempt to have the same effect. Plus I retained all of my light output
