Finally!! New Acura member

Finally after coming back from Afghanistan and waiting for about a month I finally got the tl I wanted. 2010 black/black tl sh-awd. So happy I can finally post and instead of looking haha. I use to have a 2007 tl type (R.I.P) . But it's fine. I upgrade after so many years. I have seen alot of nice and clean looking tl's om here and hope that mine will look as clean as you senior members. I'm feeling kinda rusty and newbish now. So hopefully you guys can help me with with mods that I have been thinking off for now.
Mods I have been thinking of right now is leds. Something cheap and not to expensive right now. I'm thinking of all the interior and exterior right now. I hope some of you can post about the experience of which leds (size, color, and durability) of what you guys have. Thank you in advance for the help.

awesome..I'm sure you won't miss the TL-s. Looks clean. Did you powder coat the wheels? I would get the center caps to match.

Roof spoiler will look great also

Oh I'm not missing it at all. The last 5 days of owning it I love it so much more lol. I did not powder coat them. I bought it like that. I am thinking about getting them matched, and i have been looking into a roof spoiler so that would probably be coming here soon.

Welcome! We appreciate your service. I recommend buying LED's from a reputable company. Not indorsing, but V-LEDS is a great site for high quality. IJDMToy is pretty good although some people have said they were not so good. Superbright LED is ok. Interior dome light will need soldering. Personally I love switchbacks. The V-LEDS site can filter by your year make and model and it will show you what bulbs will fit. This guide should help. Also painting that front beak would help the car flow better. I know dealers were offering this service for free to some people. Again thanks for your service

Welcome to Acurazine. Glad you made it home safe and thank you for your time and sacrifices...
In regards to leds I wouldn't wanna go cheap on them just imho. I haven't even touched mine yet, but I'm sure a lot of members are willing to assist on that field. As far as the rear roof spoiler goes I would personally recommend an eBay seller that goes by bmwoemshop. A lot of members has vouched for it including myself. Install is pretty basic 3m VHB double sided tape and a lil bit of 3M windo-weld you good as gold. Congrats on the new whip and hope to see more progress on your build.

Thanks everyone. I am looking into the different brighter leds right now. But first i have to bring it to the dealership, my passenger door light went out. I looked over some of the members post about the light going out after the led is installed and there is no other way to fix it I am also looking into the roof spoiler from bmwoemshop probably going to get it here soon.

Looks really clean, maybe get the beak color matched ? I think those look really good on 4G TL's, especially on darker colored ones where the grill really stands out.
