Back to the First Gen!

Hi everyone, I'll make a long story short. A couple years ago I had a 1998 3.0 which was damaged beyond repair from an accident. I then bought a second gen 2003 CL. Hated the second gen and found another 98 3.0 Black with the same rims, spoiler, and a rebuilt trans. The car has a little over 90k on it at the moment. Here's the list of what i've done so far.
20% tints all around
Cross Drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads
Short Ram Intake
Custom Grill
CLeared out front bottom lights
7 inch Eonon Double din head unit that can do it all. lol
1000 watt Sony amp with 2 12 inch subs. Also replaced all Bose speakers with Sonys.
Painted all the wood grain pieces Gloss Black
Painted pillars and a couple other peices gloss black as well
5000K HIDS
Full interior LED swap to Blue
Blacked out Depot Headlights(Replaced that corny lens with the stripes to the original clear lens. I'll be putting those on soon)
Well, that's about it for now lol.
Enjoy everyone and hello to all my former and new A-Zine members!

CLs always look weird with rain-x Latitudes on them but they are awesome wipers.

Welcome back, I remember when your 1st gen was lost and you got the second gen. Nice work on the climate control, you're the only 1 other than me that I know that has done it. Also loving the blacked out headlights with the clear corner and the black woodgrain

Hey Black and Infamous! Good to see some old faces still alive on the forums. I'm hoping to put those headlights on this week, but I'm a little worried about aligning the bumper back on properly. Depending on how things go financially for me in the next couple weeks/months, I might actually purchase a 05-08 RL. Keep your ears open if you know of anyone who has one in black with decent mileage.
