Little Mods
Hey guys new here and just looking for some help. I have a 2012 Acura TL Tech SHAWD and the only mod I have done is adding a Takeda Intake. Im looking for some help on getting some of these things done.
1. I really like the look of the 4 exhaust but I don't want the sound, Can I just get exhaust tips?
2. Looking to buy LED Light for my License Plate that is bright, The one I have right now sucks and looks cheap.
3. I want to change my Fog Lights from Yellow to Bright White, How would I do that?
Im Located in Vancouver BC
Thanks guys and yes I'm a rookie.

Check here for the difference in diameter for the tires:
Tire Size Calculator
I wouldn't do it personally because it will throw off your speedometer a bit with little to no benefit in performance. The stock 245/45/18 size is a good match for the car but for more performance you can upgrade the rubber (Michelin AS/3 or dedicated summer tires).
As for the wheels, the specs look OK but you would definitely need a centering ring for the hub as the stock size is 64.1 mm.
As for your other questions:
1. Check out some exhaust shops as they will likely have stainless steel tips that they could install for you (I know a shop in Toronto but that doesn't help you).
2. Figure out what your current wattage is and bump it up a bit.
3. An HID (or LED) replacement kit should whiten up the fogs nicely; look around on the forums (and do a search) and you will find more info. Otherwise there are whiter stock type bulbs that you could install (check C Tire).
