Bodykit or 18" A-Spec Wheels
 
I think these cosmetic mods adds a complete look to the car and am thinking of purchasing/installation. With that said, which mod should come first in terms of adding more significance to the looks? Any opinions?

Can somebody post pics of their TL with the following (NBP would be preferred):
18" A-Spec wheels and NO bodykit
Bodykit and NO 18" A-Spec wheels

Well, if you're just strictly looking at the mods for cosmetics, then I would go with the body kit, IMO. Start with the kit and then later on you might like other 18's or 19's instead of the A-Spec wheels to put on your TL. With a bit more time and inquiry, you might actually find that mods can be both cosmetic and add to the performance of the car.

par,

****, you read my mind.

What has been people's experience with installation cost of the bodykit and lip spoiler at an Acura dealership. I know I can save money and do it myself, but I don't want to mess things up. Also for the people that had your dealer do the install, have you had problems with gaps in the front and rear spoiler as mentioned in other threads, or did you have to go back and adjust with 3M heavy-duty double-sided?

Tim,

I had my body kit first and it looks good. The dealer did the installation for me. The font has a little gap near the license plate but it's not a big deal, even if they take it off and redo the front piece, it would end up the same and wont fit perfectly though. I think that just the way the platic thing shaped.

I added the rims afterward and it defintely look much better the OEM one. In my opinion, the kit enhances the look of the car more than the rim, if you have to choose between them. If you want to do both, that's perfect! :D

my story in a nutshell: I thought all I wanted was just the 18" wheels....
then I thought all I wanted was the wheels and the front underspoiler
then I thought all I needed was the whole bodykit, the rims, and no suspension
now I'm looking to get the suspension
next I'll probably want the decklid spoiler
