Default New to the game

I've just recently bought an '03 Acure TL Type-S ASPEC and have no idea where to start with anything.

I want horsepower, looks and sound! What to do, what to do...

I have no idea how much a paint job will cost, where to find parts, what parts to look for and what parts would look good on my baby!

Any hints, tips or advice??

^ yep, anyone who calls this a game is in to get flamed for 1000+ reasons

modifying, owning, driving, or just anything related with hondas or any other mfg is not considered a game.

I AM in the game only on my xbox 360

OP haven't a clue of whats coming unless this thread gets locked lol

First start by lowering your car. I recommend D2 coil overs.

Call the 919 number in North Carolina and ask for Tony.

That's a good place to start.,

Get some coilovers and nice 18s and drive it. The aftermarket is very limited for that car.

I wish this was a "game." Then when I mess up or something unfortunate happens, I could just reload my last gave save! haha Plus I'd have next to an infinite amount of money so my cars would be boss.

Okay. I'm sorry for the poor terminology by saying the game. I just mean that I would like to turn my stock car into an automatic head turner. Any websites for information or even shop sites? I've been hearing a little bit about performance chips... anything on them?

Performance chips? Why didn't I think of that instead of wasting all this money to turbo my car?

You haven't heard anything. Stop window shopping on Ebay for cheap crap.
