Just bought 2010 TL 6mt, just saying hi :)

Hey guys, I just traded in my 04 audi tt and put it towards a 2010 TL with 6mt. Got it in CBP. Lovin the car!

Anyways just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.

Any recommendations for some things I can get done? Not really into heavy mods or anything, maybe like changing the grille and wheels, etc.

Congrats on your 6M/T, you'll enjoy it. You could get your stock grille painted CBP.?

I have the same car (2010 6mt, black on black), and love it. Most people would go with the RonJon grill, although it is a little pricey. Do you have the 18 or 19 inch wheels?

Look around in the galleries and see what you like for aesthetic mods. For performance I would stick with handling (wheels/tires/coils/springs). There is some debate as to whether or not the power mods do much at all.

I have done wheels/tires, j-pipe, cat, and cat-back exhaust. I'm pretty happy with how the car is set up now, but I have the CT ice-box on order. Will probably stop there unless the CT super charger ever comes out.

Good luck with the new ride.

If you have some spare cash, throw on some light weight 19's with some good performance rubber for the summer. I kept my OEM 18" rims for the winter.

I have a 2010 CBP.

that paint is a nightmare, though. About to go to Oakes and get it detailed...like a stage 4 detail.

It's hard to maintain. All Acura paint is fairly soft by default and with black it's easy to introduce fine swirls into the clear coat. It's easy to do on any color for that matter, just more noticeable on black cars.
