get the OBX headers im currently "in the middle" of the install.

or get the CF hood with the GB (TeamBlurryCL) is doing.

Or you could get a suspension set up for that amount. or save a bit more for some teins.

Yeah Certified... Honda and Acura dealerships certify used cars. They do a hundred some point inspection and if its not to spec (like level of tred, if one tire is below a certian level the car gets 4 new tires) it gets replaced.... I got tires and rotors. the certification also gives me a 1 year bumper to bumper warranty and after that expires 1 year full powertrain

this usually cost in 1000 in the marked up price but since the dearship just got it in on a trade they did this for free

and because salesman that sold my dad his MDX is who sold me the CL he hooked me up and had them pop a few dings and touch up a few scratches

You want bass? Get an infinity basslink. Best thing if you don't want subs. Polk is just low quality, from my experiences.

Polk isn't low quality, where the hell did you get that idea? They are just as good as Infinity as far as car audio goes.

I've never been impressed by any of their products, and my friend outfitted his accord with nothing but polk audio, he replaced a speaker every could of weeks until he switched brands.
