It's not hiding what it is, that would be putting a brown paper bag on it. If you really need the badges on the back of the car to tell what a car is then you need glasses (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)

That thing is absolutely beautiful, congratulations! I love these cars; and I wouldn't change anything but the Donk stance it's got going on.

How many times do I have to say that I'm not lowering it? It's got a great factory tuned suspension. This isn't the type of car that I'm about to throw a bunch of cheap mods at just for the sake of looking "cooler"

You should do like really practical stuff to it like really awesome hidden subtle speakers that blow your mind, really nice exhaust note, steering wheel change(?), maybe an upgrade aero package(subtle though)(?) some under hood mods(Nothing major maybe just a chip or something idk) wheels nuts and little things like that :)would be coooool man, but it looks so good stock though

I'm going to do window visors, refurbish the rims, and next summer have Lovefab build me an exhaust. The sound system is the one thing that the previous owner already had work done on. Not changing the steering wheel because it's got a nice one and it's got a lot of integrated controls. Can't do tuner wheel nuts on OEM wheels.
My civic is still the project car. I didn't pick this up to become another project car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Not necessarily a project car but you could still change some small bits like the exhaust as you and Jovi said, subtle changes that make the smile on your face even bigger when you drive it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif)

manual tranny, thank god dude That's one of the parts I'm most happy about that I found this! Only about 1/40 of them produced were with the 6 speed manual. Everybody was all about the 5 speed paddle shift automatic back in the day, so now these ones are the rare ones that everyone wants. |

I would say get swift springs but it looks like they have been discontinued for the TL.
But if you can find some used ones i'd say go for it. And before you say anything, swift springs are amazing for performance. They only lower the car an inch and a half max and improve both performance and ride comfort. I had them in the ralliart before and they were amazing. Better than oem in every way. |

Well, it is a mitsubishi, so that's not too surprising (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)
But seriously. There are so many other things to take care of before dumping money into aftermarket parts. |

nice find buddy, i really like the way it looks right now. there is no point of doing mods to that car, great as it is with some decent power, perfect for a daily (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif)
manual just feels a little truck like with rough shiftstick gliding and loud noises as you move the gear linkage on asian cars, or atleast it did on all the cars i drove. |

Thanks Bud, The only Mod I've done is OEM Window Visors. Only other things I've got planned are OEM A-Spec Lip kit and new wheels/tires next summer. Maybe tom coilovers. But like you said, this car doesn't need any power mods or anything stupid. It's a daily, not a project. As far as the shifting goes, the motion of this shifter is pretty smooth. Sometimes it has a little bit of trouble getting into 3rd and 4th. That seems to be a common thing with this transmission though, something about the syncro's not meshing quite perfect. But it seems like it can be fixed by using a GM Modified Syncromesh trans fluid.
