back end of CL
hey you guyz
well today, i saw the rear of a 1st gen CL on the road without a spoiler or rear kit (unlike mine), and i realized it was butt freakin ugly lol
i never see the back of mine while im driving, but the spoiler and rear kit helps a little
has anyone ever tried clearing the rear lights? cuz i just realized they don't look that hot =| or is there anything else
i need some ideas on how to improve it!! i will be getting an exhaust shortly but anything else?

i cannot express how happy i am that there aren't any clear tails for the cl. and i hope this trend continues....but personally, i don't like the spoiler..it reminds me of a hyundai or something..it takes away from the unique-ness of the car. there isnt a car out there that comes close to the way the first gen looks. The spoiler doesn't look ugly, i just preferr the naked look. plus the spoiler is just another thing for water to hide under after you wash your car...so when you get done drying it and drive down the street and the soapy water creeps out from under it. hehe hate when that happens.

iono i think the SHAPE of the lights are like a 350z kinda (?)
i mean it don't look bad but might be koo to hav something different, since we all look the same

Sleek
Without the spoiler the first gen looks so sleek...yea, the spoiler can be somewhat of a nice touch if you like that. Personally, one of the reasons I bought my CL was because of the back end. It seems like the back end of cars can always be the worst part designed and Acura did a heck of a job making it so simple and...I guess you could say elegant.

Also...
The red tail lights are so hot on our first gens too. I am glad there are no orange lights on my car. Clear out the front, yea, leave the back with that deep red!

the reason I bought the car is cause of the back end without the spoiler, I 1st saw the car on a Janet Jackson video and loved the back end and thats what made me buy the car, adn I agree with not wanting to clear out the tail lights, Im glad no-one has made them, and the no amber on the car (once clear corners), over all its just a great lookin car

Clear tails were played out 2 years ago and Altezzas are on 14:59 of their 15 minutes of fame. The stock tails are best on the CL.....One of the main reasons I bought my CL was because of the rear end and lights. The tailights are so cool that many cars now have simular tailights. The new Taurus, the 98+ Grand Am, some Kia model and a few others have the slashed lights. Our's still look best....

I vote: maybe rear factory spoiler but absolutely no lip. Clean-cut, sleek look, uncluttered. That's why Acura didn't put a trunk keyhole back there. I have the metallic red and with the red tail lights...it looks COOL.

I also say that our car without a spoiler looks bad. I prefrr the spoiler. Looks more proportionate. the car flows better.
Nice Ride, very clean, but go away with the back lip.

Yes, our car (my car) is so unique in it's styling and looks! I love the bodystyle! It is so sleek and good looking...there isn't another car out there that looks as great as the 1st gen CL! about the spoiler/lip subject, I have a rear spoiler but no lip. I don't really like the body kits and such..I like the clean look--lowered with big wheels!...everything painted the body color!
