Question:

What should my next mod be? Bags are already coming up so anything but that. Very happy with how the car sits currently but there's always more to do.

New addition to the family. 2016 RDX Advance AWD WDP/Parchment interior. Came with the protection package do rear trunk tray, mud guards and wheel locks include. I have roof rails, all season mats and proactive film coming in this week as well as windows getting tinted to 20%. Next will be Morimoto XB 5k fog lights which I plan to get the yellow paid for the TL also. Then shopping for wheels.

First SUV and I love it. So smooth and definitely refined. The facelift 2nd Gen was the way to go. Just happen to be coming out while I was shopping around.

Love the RDX, and more so absolutely in love with your TL. Great build!

Been so slammed with school and work the TL has been neglected. Figured it was time to get back on the mod grind. Have a few parts laying around I'll get to installing eventually but felt it was time to update my build thread.

Got my front grill shield painted, cleared and applied 3M clear bra to protect the paint from rock chips:

Took advantage of cyber Monday sales and ordered RV6 precat deletes:

Lastly went crazy at VLEDs.com (local to me so arrived in 24 hours):

Ordered all my lights in 6K for the TL and 5K for the RDX. Still waiting on my V3 Triton Switchbacks as the controllers are on back order.

Ktuner is next on my list though I'm debating if I need any other power mods then the ones I currently have. CT icebox intake, RV6 precat deletes, XLR8v2 Jpipe with 3rd cat delete and ATLP catback exhaust.

Nice, the ktuner along with a custom tune will make a difference. It's going to run you close to a stack but it's well worth it IMO. I wouldn't do any other performance mod on your care besides maybe get some light weight forged wheels. That's just me of course. I plan on tracking mine this summer when my new wheels come in.

Thanks for the input. I was quoted $700 for Ktuner with Street tune by Vit. Not a bad price. I'd love to throw it on the dyno but Vit is a pro at tuning Honda's/Acura's. I'll do it eventually so I can get some numbers. As for different wheels, not sure if I'll get a different set of wheels anytime soon besides my Works and Advance 19's but I would love to track it.

I don't have any recent photos of the rear but next time I take out the car I'll snap some for you. I opted to not have the rear boomerang painted to keep the contrast in the back. There is a photo of a straight on back shot in post #128 but here's an older photo from the back quarter/side:

Used for tuning the TL and maxing the hp/tq to your motor. Bring all your parts in harmony with the car.

Wheels are O disk. Look at some new wheels though.

Have the funds to get the air ride but stacking more. Gotta have that wireless remote setup and not rocker panel switches.

Thanks for the kind words. Headlights should be done this coming week. Suspension when I pull the trigger will most likely be summer but you guys will know. Also been working on the wife's RDX. Hard modding two vehicles lol.

Excited for 2016 car season!!!

<b>UPDATE</b>

Headlights took awhile. Should receive them this coming week. My boy at SD_Retrofits took care of me. Love the finally outcome. If you're interested in getting your headlights/taillights done. I can pass on his info. Mention me (RT or tizzle_of_course) for a great deal!

Modified oem headlights with clear reflectors, TSX clear lenses, custom rounded cutoff shields and demon eyes. They are tuned and super sharp now. Once they're installed I'll post the picture.

Looking good RT, just found out that SD Retrofit is based in Las Vegas. I spoke to Fernando and he's not to far from where I live.
