Lightbulb Making New Performance/Look Upgrades...Need Help!!!

Hey everyone!

I am a new user of the 2004 Acura TL. I would like to make some upgrades to it (i.e. body kit, wheels, hood kit, spoiler, and ANYTHING that will give me about 60 more HP. My budget is around 2-5 grand on this project. It won't be spent all at once, but over time.

I used to be that guy in the Ford Mustang always giving my VTEC friends crap for driving a foreign car. However, their wisdom was somehow implanted in my brain. Look at me now!

So, I am not used to some of the jargon used here as compared to muscle cars, so please be gentle.

Once again, looking to make my stock Acura faster, cooler looking, have better exhaust tips, and I do want a nice sounded exhaust note, but not anything that is crazy or will wake up the neighbors.

Thanks for your help!

Garrett

you wont make more power with items you mention. you can perhaps make your ET less. oem full ground kit with low-lip rear spoiler. lighter rims and tires (perhaps 17" OZ).

a NoS kit might work for you...
