I have a 2001 Taffeta White CL-Type S. I bought it somewhat stock three years ago (2011). It has tan interior (non-navi) I myself installed a double din Clarion navi. I will post more pics after I get off work with a detailed list of the mods I have done and the mods I am working on currently.
Couldn't really take any pics of some of the things I have done as it was dark, however I have done a few things to the car so far:
Independent "Road Lamps"
Plasti-dipped the window trim
Plasti-dipped outter ring of the grill
stock tips welded onto two magnaflows
cold air intake
05 RL shift knob
double din Clarion navi
03 tails
blacked out head lights
Working On:
Accord fogs
dc headers
homemade exhaust from cat to the magnaflows
new wheels... (xxr's)
moar low
cluster mod

Haven't been on here in awhile. Ran through some water about three months ago and sucked up water through my cai. Long story shot I blew two holes through my lower block so I picked up a motor with only 90k miles on it for 500$ and had to swap that in. Runs great. Wanted to paint my engine bay black and do some cleaning up in there but time and money was short. Got new mounts and everything else though as well as the headers put in. Didn't want to have to put that much money into this auto 220,xxx mile car but It was the cheapest route. Since then I've landed a good job in the oil industry and will keep the CL as a beater and buy something nicer in the next year or so but I will and have continued too upgrade the hoe.
Fixed all the clunks in my suspension. Had to replace all upper and lower front ball joints (which was a pain in the ass). Got an alignment with these shitty wheels and the new tires I got for them. Replaced my abs motor so my ABS and VSA light would go off and I would be able to use tcs and abs when winter comes. Cut my intake so it wasn't floating above the road to avoid future attempts to go swimming with my car. Painted some things a safety green which is odd because I hate green but this green is an exception. Beautiful color in my opinion. Put LEDs in my reverse lights and they are great. Did the fog retrofit. Just used the lamp and not the other plastic pieces because i wanted to be able to put my road lamps back in as I am working on a projector retro fit for those. Bought an oem fog light switch from a tl and wired that up to the fogs as well as the interior lights and the dimmer. Bought OEM all weather floor mats. Plasti dipped the black accents on the mirrors to match the rest of the car. Hurculined the wheel wells and complete underbody of the car to prevent future rust and damage. Also made it a bit quiter in the cabin. That was a pain in the ass to do too. Dont have any pics yet as i blew the fuse, but I installed hids in the fogs and they really light the road up.
Just bought a Yakima roof rack (q towers and stretch kit) with the fairing. Will post pictures later this week when everything arrives. I wait for the mail man every day and literally get a piece a day but it'll be here this week.
Working on buying k-sport coils and rims. Figured I would wait until spring to purchase the wheels and coils because winter is right around the corner and even if I bought them now I wouldn't put them on until spring anyways. Going with 19s. Almost got 18's but after seeing mugen kid's silver cl I nutted and decided 19's looked better. They will be 19x8.75s. Wanted 19x9 or 9.75 but that isn't an option for this style of rim in the 19 size.
After the wheels Ill be very happy with the car. At some point I will get a tl lip kit and slap that on there but that is down the road.
Ill get some better pictures of the fogs and how I installed them tomorrow at work. Forgot to mention at my job the company next to ours hired painters to paint their storage tanks white and got over spray on all of the companies vehicles.. long story short their insurance paid everyone for wet sanding and removal of the epoxy paint and I decided to keep the check as my car didn't get hit that bad and it is useless as the body needs rust work and dent removal so I will use that to pay for my rims and coils come spring.

that sucks how high was the water...was it flooded area?
Got side swiped due to the icy ass roads. Still waiting to hear from his insurance company. Plan on buying a new door, fender, and mirror and use the rest to get wheels with.
