body kit and dashboard replacement

hey guys i need some quick tip on these topics...
I have an Acura Cl 3.0 and i was looking online for a body kit but the only one i see is the spyder 2 body kit which i am not a big fan of......anywhere i can get a good looking body kit????

Second is that i want to change the dashboard light such as the meter but not sure on how to remove it from the car...i kinda dont want to swing it and try ti pull it apart...so any tips????

you can find a DIY for the dash light change in the DIY//FAQ section of the forum.

As for body kits, There isnt a huge after market for them. for front lips WW makes one and ABS started making one recently. Side skirts are generall custom cut and fitted from an Accord and the same goes for Rear lips.

All of that can be found in the n00b guide at the top of the forum.

the cl dosent have any good looking body kits. the best thing to do is get either an ABS lip, or the Wings West lip(which looks better IMO) both you can find on ebay

The guage lights can be replaced with the diy in our diy/faq forum, searching or looking in the n00b guide will tell you that most people use wings west lip kits instead of body kits. Wow 2 spyder 2 threads in 1 day what are the odss

First gen CL's are well into the range of "cheap" good used cars now. We will be seeing more and more rice I am sure.
