*I know those pics are reposts, its all Ive got right now with the new stuff on the front*


Right now I don't have a whole lot of money, and I've been wanting to mod the CL. What would be some cheap and easy mods to do? Consider that I live in an apartment and one of my roommates took the garage (that bastard), so I would have to be able to do it in front of my building. I'm going back home for thanksgiving and staying about 4 days, so I can do some stuff that involves painting there.


I was thinking about stuff along the lines of
*LED mods (maybe going red)
*chrome gauge rings
*blackhousing my headlights
*Garfield CL style hi beams (and painting my calipers Brembo gold to match). I dunno how it would look though... photoshop maybe?
*shift knobs? I dunno


Anything else you guys would suggest?



I'm definitely getting HIDs next month, 6500k


oh and btw, I'm going to take the red centers off my wheels , I'll see how it looks off or I might paint them a different color.

 

didn't you say you were gonna sell it?

 

Naw that wasn't me, I plan on being buried in this car

 

lol, i'm sticking with my CL til death...

when you wanna do the LED mod, hit me up, i'll give you the correct list/number of bulbs so you won't waste money on getting the wrong/ineffective bulbs... I also have some bulbs left from my project so i'll give it to you for cheap...

 

Sweet, I'll definitely hit you up when I figure it all out.

Yea I'm not planning on selling the CL anytime in the future, I wouldn't get a whole for it anyways, the interior is near perfect and now the paint is too but its lowered (bad for resale lol), has a bunch of miles, 2nd owner, etc. Might as well just keep it, its exactly what I wanted in the first place

 

shoulda grabbed my headlights. they were a little fucked up, but they still looked sick.

anyways, a good mod would be my teins.

blahhhhh i want my DA low so bad

 

I know I'm still kicking myself for not nabbing the headlights while I had the chance .

lol on the Teins, I would but they're like 10x more $ then I have to spend right now

 

damn you sure got that bumper to line up nicely.

i was actually planning on taking off the bumper the weekend i got hit and realigning it, when i did the headlights a couple months back i just kinda slapped it back on hella half assed.

 

led's to match the hid's,blackhousings are a good start.paint your stock skirts too,it'll look 100x better.....

 

uh you say that you don't have alot of money but you are getting HID's next month.

 

so basicly you want to look like my car then...lol j/k

 

I'll have some money to throw around next month, financial aid . Not as much as 99CL but still


Haha, yea Brent like yours... except better

 

Heres a few photoshops I did


- slight window tint
-blackhoused headlights


- tint
- blackhoused headlights
- painted calipers


- tint
- headlights
- calipers
- amber corners


And then this one, gold wheels dont match primrose very well apparently. I kinda like the highbeam color though :/

 

hmmmm...

why didnt you grab my fuggen ambers? unless you still have yours...

 

LED's is a good cheap mod, as well as gauge rings. Painted calipers, and tint.

Get an ebay intake, blackhouse, hid (like you mentioned) and you're well on your way. Any plans for performance upgrades or sound upgrades? Just curious

 

Yea I've been considering some performance mods, like intake, MSD, maybe exhaust if I can find something quiet enough. I like the stock one because it doesn't draw a lot of attention from the cops, maybe something like the Tanabe Super Medalion touring one.

I really want to upgrade my sound, but the stock is fine for now but my main concern is getting my shit stolen.

I don't want to spend all my money on this car though, I'm trying to save up to get a SR20det swap done in my Datsun 280Z. 6k for all the parts and labor, and out the door already tuned and running in a week .

 

ill trade you my ambers for your clear corners

 

haha its ok if you want to be like me...lol

blackhousing and amber = ftw

 

huhhh, anyone selling their clear corners

 

whats your price limit?

here are some things you could do, each is like under $50 or so.

1. LED out your exterior/interior
2. rockblocker taillight tints
3. paint your grill body color or some other color
4. buy a "JDM" plate relocator for your front plate
5. prelude short shifter mod
6. new shifter knob
7. black housing headlights
8. g2 caliper paint
9. ebay intake
10. strut bar
11. painted valve cover

theres more, I just cant think of any right now

 

oh yeah g2 paint is the best!

 

do you have to take the calipers off?

 

nope...just take your time on prep, and mask everything off that shouldnt be painted...and its all good.

 

alright thanks. im gonna have to try that soon.

red calipers + black cl + gunmetal 17s= ftw?

 

usually lol

 

I def wanna see a black CL on guns, do it
