My advice is to either sell it or not sell it. If I tell you to sell and you do will you compensate me for my input?

I would do a 2009 to 2012 front end conversion, add aero kit and keep it for another 10 years.

I'm not an expert but I feel like if you had it painted white you might find it easier to get more money for it

Doing a complete color change on a vehicle for no reason will gain value? No. Hopefully you're joking

Yes, although..... When I was searching for my TL I found locally that the White TLs pretty much had higher asking prices than Black or Silver.
And white TL's be sexy AF

Ok, we need more information. Do you have a lien on the car? If so, how much do you still owe on the car? How much do you plan to sell it for? Do you still have the stock parts that you've upgraded? If not, sometimes your aftermarket modifications may even lower the value of the car depending on who's looking at it. With your car being a 6 speed manual, I think many people on here would be interested as long as it has a clean title.

Judging by the exhaust, you have some oil consumption issues and I'd honestly walk away from the SH-AWD at that point if it's near or past 1 quart every 1k miles.

This is how much you can get for it in reality, or you can go to carmax and they'll usually beat these values. You can get some money back by selling the aftermarket stuff. The tires are probably going to not do much for the value and you won't be seeing much back. I'd honestly see if you can sell the tires and rims and get a cheaper used OEM set for less and profit since it has new tires.

I would recommend you do your best to go back to stock. Put the whole stock exhaust package back on, replace your new tires for cheaper used tires or cheap Amazon tires, remove the plastidip black on the emblems, put back in stock springs, etc. When someone is interested in the car, you can also see if they are interested in buying the aftermarket parts separately. If not, you can sell it on Craigslist, Acurazine Black Market, your local FB Honda/Acura group page, etc. I personally would leave in the lowering springs because you probably won't get much back selling it used.

When making a smart personal finance decision, it's good to know if you have the title in hand or if you still owe a bank so we can help determine if it's worth selling. For example, if you still owe $16k on the car and the car is only worth $14k then you wouldn't be in a good spot because you'll have to pay $2k out of your pocket to get the title. That's why I asked.

I would keep it, it still looks nice. Why waste money on some more expensive car, many people can only dream of owning a car as nice as your TL and you want to get rid of it?
