Again, stock looked better. Hellaflush on stock rims and no drop? CF stripe?? massive Honda badge? I'm guessing you don't track your car and don't need the tow hook.

To each their own, but if I saw that car in person I would laugh, then cry a little.

Whoa. lmao

Not trying to hate but if I bought this car tomorrow here is what I would do...

1. Take off most if not all stickers. (keep that azine one if you like)
2. Take off CF strip (i would remove any pinstrip even factory)
3. Remove two hook
4. replace OEM fogs and oem type s badge
5. Paint brakes black or silver
6. Lower it on coilovers
7. Save for a Ron Jon front lip
8. Save for new wheels. Something splitrim
9. Bask in the glory

Good luck OP

Well, your car is a bit confusing-

1. You have a hellaflush sticker on your car, but your car isn't hella flush.
2. You have a carbon fibre sticker on your car- why? It screams ricer.
3. You have a mixture of Honda and Acura badges all over. Pick one. Guys who have both are the guys who couldn't afford to stick with one.
4. You have a massive honda sticker on your drivers side door. It looks completely out of place and screams ricer again.
5. The two hook looks out of place and serves no purpose. Do not try towing with that thing. You'll regret it in a jiffy.
6. You have a nice platform that you started out with, but instead of accenting it and making it look better, you put big "look at me!!" Decals on it which take away from the beauty of the car. That shit stopped being cool 14 years ago.

Save your money and invest in some nice wheels and a suspension drop. Remove the stickers and your car will look very nice!

I'd put a real Acurazine sticker on it too. Looks much nicer. Just grab one during the holiday charity drive.

And take off the "Got Boost?" sticker too. Unless you put "I Don't" after it.

Everyone's hating since your not doing the CL-S any justice.

Atleast the gold is gone. Just need to keep it simple. You'll learn... Hopefully.

You also don't need to create a new thread everytime u post pics. Just a heads up

I'm not hating, just confused why your car mentions boost when there's no boost on it.

The money received by purchasing an Acurazine sticker goes to charity. Sounds good right?

I was once where you are now. I ran my car with chrome wheels and a chrome door edge protector. You learn and your tastes grow and mature. You'll likely look back on this and see and wondered what you were thinking. In the mean time, enjoy your car cause you made it yours. No one on here can tell you what to do but only make suggestions. Ultimately it's up to you on what you do to your ride and I'm sure we all respect that on here.

x2 on all of this. Gnuts used to give me a LOT of shit in my thread about my wheels, stickers, mods etc. You shrug it off cause it's your car and your mods. AZ will post what we think regardless. Take our suggestions/feedback with a grain of salt and do your own thing. But really as a sticker whore myself, use stickers that actually pertain to your car currently and not in the future. It doesn't make a lot of sense.

Oh and OP please learn to use multi-quote. It's the little plus sign next to the quote and thanks buttons.

You won't necessarily have a problem, however, drawing hot air into the engine likely causes you to lose power, not gain it. You put the cone filter on to gain power, but as it currently is, you're not gaining anything

I'm all for seeing something different, but advertising what your car is when it clearly isn't doesn't make sense to me.

Good luck OP - happy modding.

Car will look a million times better with a proper drop & some wheels.

Hell, even keep the stock wheels. I like those wheels. But drop the car and maybe put some spacers on to make them poke a little more

You should grab a cold air intake. That intake is sucking in hot engine air and will likely hurt performance. Do you have headers? That should also be top priority for power.
