Hey All,
I've been meaning to get around to posting an introduction for a while now, I've been creeping around Acurazine for a little over a year now since my first TL.
Had a 2002 TL type-S, but unfortunately that beauty was written off by someone running a red light before I ever posted any pictures. Anyway, here is my replacement, 2004 NHBP TL which I love to death.
In the pictures, ignore the damage to the drivers side rear quarter panel, some woman backed her 80's bmw into it, after 3 weeks and $4,800 I got it back today!
Mods so far: Full cat delete & straight piped, tinted windows and tail's, roof spoiler, painted callipers, 08' accord coupe rims.
Mods soon: Body kit (unsure of which), cleared headlights, intake (again unsure), J-pipe, push button start/keyless access system and rear lip spoiler. And possibly purchasing the cleared/smoked taillights (opinions?)
My apologies in advance for such a long post.

Congrats and welcome! It seems the mod bug has already hit you! Those accord wheels look nice on the car! Are they 17 x 8 or still the 17 x7.5?
The A-spec body kit for 04-06 is a good choice, however if you plan to fully upgrade your exhaust in the future you might want to go for an 04-06 front and sides and a TL-S (07-08) Rear kit to fit in the quad exhausts or larger tips. (larger muffler openings).
You also may want to consider getting the smoked rear side markers from the TL-S and as well sending in your lights for to I believe vendor AckTL05 for a set of cleared out or blacked out tail-lights. (I believe AckTL05 and JnC do custom headlights and tail-lights).
As far as the lip spoiler, the TL-S one is nice and so is the accessory one for the 04-06 models.

Thanks for the advice! The wheels are 18". Do you know if it is possible to get the 07-08 Type S aspec kit to work on the 04-06 model? If not, I would just stick with the 04-06 aspec. The rear side markers are tinted and I like the look, Im also undecided about the exhausts as I like the look of the integrated factory tips.

The TL-S kit will fit on the 04-06, just some cutting is involved on the front and rear bumpers
