18"-19" with lip or concave
stick with silver, black, or gunmetal colors
go with bright colors if brave
must drop with coilovers (springs if on budget)
aspec lip kit

Now go!

congrats on ur purchase.

The aspec is most popular for a reason.. it may be common on the forums but not on my streets. another option you can go with is ron jon kits. (there aren't many companies who make kits for the TL)

Wheels and ride height is all personal preference, whatever floats your boat may not float everyone elses. As you get more serious about modding, im sure you'll research more on what specifically interests you and you can narrow your options down from there

If you have questions on a problem you have or interested in products or mods that may have been used, im 98% sure its either been used before or talked about, so searching can be ur best friend

have fun modding!

Lower it before you get wheels. Since you live up north, I would go with 18s. Tires are cheaper and the ride quality will be better.

^^^ Tyler is spot-on.

Also, the Type S Aspec Kit is the ugly one-the Base TL kit looks great.

If you are looking for wheel suggestions, check out RonJon Inspyre wheels-18 inch wheels. RonJon is a vendor here on Acurazine.
