I got gun metal rims instead of the black, same style though. Have the lips just not painted yet, and I just bought my 3rd suspension

Got the alignment done today, first time since putting all the bushings, balljoints, sways, strut braces, etc. And my fronts were out a degree on both sides Also my tires were all unbalanced and the car rode like shit. Got all that done, and even with the stock coils, the steering is SO responsive, you move the wheel a centimeter and it responds. Car rides nice and smooth too. Also got the 6 month, so I can get it aligned under warranty after I put the d2's on. But tonight was also like the 3rd time I drove my CL at night since getting it inspected, and holy hell lemme just say projectors and HID's are unreal, so freakin bright and full. Also had to shuffle cars in the driveway so got to admire the lights out of the car, freakin amazing. Car looks more sexy at night too, cuz you can't see the imperfections in the front bumper that needs replaced. But man, gotta put my hood on tomorrow. So glad to be drivin her again though

^I bet. Can't wait to see those projectors. I dunno if I'm going to wait around till 9 to really see them in action but I'll see what I can do.

I can't remember if you bought a bumper yet, but if not, theres one on egay right now.

Wouldn't blame you. I emailed the dude and he told me he'd recondition and prime it for only $20.

Still, it's overpriced.

Yeah for $120? I can get a new one for close to that. I could patch and use my current bumper, but I cut the OEM fogs out and have gaps in the bumper meshing, so that's another reason I wanna replace the bumper, so why I put my proj fogs in, car doesn't look like it has buckteeth, I'm real picky as u know

For all those that want parts I have my hook up coming back into town with more stuff.

I need to unload some old stuff, some D1S an some others, if anyone wants to make me a deal on them, I can send pictures.

Sorry to post Ack but I have not been active for a while and I just got some new parts and needed to share the love with my first family, the CL community, who Mike aka VXCL and I got into the whole Projector modding phase
