Guys, just purchased my 2011 TL Tech the other day, any recommendations on anything from kits to wheels to exhaust?

Welcome aboard, the kit on the 09-11 looks great and it's OEM, there is the Ronjon aftermarket lip kit but I hear the fit is horrible. Wheels comes down to preference and style, personally 20'S fit the TL the best, there's a few aftermarket exhaust available but to me they are all noise makers and don't really give you any performance gains, just do what most members are doing, either change the tips or change the mufflers and the tips.

RonJon wheels are built specifically for the Acura TL, down to the offset and hubcentric centerbore. Here's a lineup of our models:

Here's a 4th Gen TL gallery section:

Feel free to call in, I'll be glad to walk you through all the options and special pricing.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your purchase. I would look into tinting the windows which is an easy and fairly inexpensive mod. Wheels, body kit and roof spoiler according to taste and budget. Nice ideas and pics from rondog.

Welcome to the family...Tints, top roof spoiler, I would go with 20s for the wheels look at Vossen or take a look at NICHE Road Wheels and the OEM lip kit looks nice as well.

Thanks Guys! I'm thrilled with my purchase. Going to go with 20% tint and probably some 20's. I was thinking 18 with a 1" drop is that a good or bad choice?

In my opinion...18s are just too small for the 4th gen...but then again at the end of the day it's your car and you're goin to be the one to drive it...so pick what you like

I agree with Daboss, 18" on this TL is like 17" on the 3rd Gen TL. Not even note worthy. 19" is ok, 20" is the ideal size. 245/35/20 is pretty decent for comfort while still looking aggressive. Take a look at these closeups:

20" with 245/35/20:







19" with 245/40/19:







18" with 245/45/18:
