The end of the road for the Wisers

What is up my old friends! Glad to see a lot of the OG's still around and their trannies still holding up! lol

Well, like all good things in life, things must eventually come to an end. It was a great 6+ years I had with these rims, and they will always be the most beautiful and rarest set I'll ever own. But they're going to be off to a new home soon, and a good home at that. Just wanted to share some old parting shots of the car as she sat with them...might post up pics of the new set up by this summer, but I doubt it will satisfy me as much as these have.

Sorry for the big pics (yes, these are shrunken preview sizes) and thanks for looking!

Damn man, all good things must come to an end. I'm interested to see what you go with next. I'll never forget all the work and time you put into these, and all the gold dipping and restoration that you did to revive them to their current beauty.

This car is such an epic inspiration. I wonder what you have in mind for the next set. Have these sold already?

Thanks so much for all the kind words, my brethren!! Unfortunately, the Wisers are gone and off to their new home. Freshly re-done and made me depressed as ever sending them off.

But the CL is still around, and going with a slightly more aggressive fitment this time. Nothing ridiculous, but definitely more 'flush' than before. Have to put some personal touches on the rims and do a few more revisions to the car, but this should give you an idea of how it sits



Thanks again for all the kind words, fams. I still love the CL to death, it's been the best car I've ever owned.

Thank ya, my friends!!

haha, black out was because of a botched, experimental custom audi led strip retrofit. Don't really like how they turned out, so will be re-doing them with fx-r v3's and a special backlight shroud version next week : /


gold grill stays...believe that!

what kind of side skirts are those. I have that wings west lip and love it. However, would love to match the profile of the car with side skirts that were as low and painted. Yours look to do the job quite well and can not find them online anywhere. Please tell me they are oem and if I paint the one on my car already they will look like that. Side note, why did Acura not paint them being the side skirts and the rear bumper.

You know, I do still have another spare set of CL headlights if you're interested in helping me out with a retrofit. The car will finally be up and about this summer and I'm sure it would look great. PM me!
