Acura Cl in Honda Tuner Issue

Hey everyone, just thought you guys would like to see this. I was flipping through the new issue of honda tuner and i saw this on one of the pages. It was coverage of Sport Compact Winter Showdown in Florida. Props to the owner of this CL, I think ive seen pics of it here before. Dunno wassup with the stock fron wheels and chrome back wheels, but mad props on gettin CL's into pages of car magazines!

I'm just using my provider (att) and uploading the pics and then using the IMG tags and linking it to the pic.

I think I remember that car at hot import nights at the miami convention center. I asked the guy about the wheels and he said he rides around on stock fronts so that there is less rotational weight on the tranny (front wheel drive) ie. faster 0-60 times with lighter rims. And then I asked him "If its raining and you gotta put something in your trunk, doesnt your whole trunk get wet the way that it opens like that?" hehehe he just stood there for a couple of seconds and then walked away.

I guess that is what's hot in the Tuner world...........?

The paint job is good work, the wheels are nice, and the trunk is neat....but the way he put the total package together would not be my way though.

The hood looks weird...not fitting of the CL body style. Those wheels look like they're busted, like an elephant sat on it and broke the suspension. Just not a big fan of the "tucked-in" look.

Other than that, he did a good job in his own ways.
