Here are some better pics of my blackhoused lights...I know it's a 4x4, but I'm ordering springs and shocks VERY soon along with new wheels.






This pic of my Greddy Evo2 came out blurry but I liked it still...

 

you need to buy a 97 grille and replace yours .. that would look hot.

 

amber turn signals :ghey:

 

Keep the 4 x 4 look, I think it looks hawt.

 

...and so is an Accord gauge cluster. 4 door CL's = :ghey:ness

 

yea you really need to drop it.. but it looks nice...
amber turn signals aint that bad.. it gives it a kinda jdm look.. i was thinking of changing back.. or maybe a mirror coated amber bulb in my clears..

 

tonight i'm making my blacked out amber turn signals


black unless blinking

 

griff post pics soon as ur done, i was gonna do that soon as i get tint spray.. PICS ASAP!

fabrikated - nice pics, good to see u got better ones

 

Amber corners for life. It gives off a JDM look. That is, with black cars. I had JDM amber corners on my CB7 (90 Accord)....man I loved that car...

Thanks for the comments....when I get the drop and wheels, I'll do a real photoshoot....something artsy.

 

artsy = :ghey:

 

loose that black painted grill for an OEM and pimp that $h!t. what you waiting for?

look this how you do it ambers and oem grill own!



mine was a 97 btw. swapped rims, grill, and center console.

 

As far as Blackouts go...Im doing mine this week. I do have a few questions.

I guess most of you use FLAT Black right? The reason I ask is because I cant seem to find a *plastic paint* in Flat Black...(only in gloss black) Sooo, I bought some *plastic primer*and then plan on using reg. Flat Black paint over the plastic primer. (you think I'd still need a special plastic paint, or would the primer help/be enough??

Also, Do I need to sand down the chrome? And whats the best kind of silicone to use? Is there a special kind for plastic or headlights?

 

what i did was wetsand the chrome all off with 200 then 400 grit sand paper... its white under the chrome. then i painted with flat black for bbq's (buddy had it lying around and it was high temp), it didnt need primer bc of the type of paint it was.. then a few coats of hi temp gloss and it was a done deal

 

They all look good, but I definately like the '98 Grill.

 

damn vxcl, those pics look hot. i like the 97 grill, but you know im partial

 

Car looks hot, but 97 grill > all

 

97 grill owns

double werd

 

i think the problem is this

97 is sportier

98+ is classier.

so it depends where you're going

i personally wanted to capitalize on this car's potential to look like it belonged in the new 30k car class. if i didn't sell it i would have retro'd some led tail/brake lights out of benz, or g35 coupe into our rear lamps. i loved when people would say hey. what the hell is that? did you just buy it? HAHAHAHAHA fools. now only if i got 30k for it when i sold it instead of only 10.

i look at those pics and say to myself. damn that's a 97. its 8 yrs old! there isn't many cars that age like the 1st gen cl. supra, 3000gt, rx7, older z to name a few. it was so ahead of its time.

 

the CLs looks will never get old

 

I really regret painting my grill out of boredom. I'm gonna buy a 97 grill soon....where's the cheapest place to buy one?

 

98 grills own....and so do ambers....

 

^ save ur money and get a drop

 

Save your time and don't post.
