Found this in TL section


and

from this thread

does this belong to anyone here?
i won't comment on the looks of the car, but i have a few questions (well i have more than a few, but let's stick with these for now.)
what's up with the roof of the car?
what's up with the side mirror?
is that side molding photoshopped out?

anyone else see this car around?

not a fan of the headlights personally...
chrome, black, yellow, amber, primrose... too many colors
and those eyelids make it look sleepy

i agree, the bumber marker makes it look a bit cheap

if you look at the line between the rear of the door and the body, right about where the molding would be going across, it looks like the image has been smudged across, as if he were photoshopping out the molding and didnt let up at the space.

not really feeling the rear and side skirt either, but it's different

any idea on the roof or side mirror?

Wayyyyy too much going on up front.
Fat eyelids aren't my style. Looks sleepy...
OEM wheels? Come on.
The side skirt looks like the gutter siding on a house...
Needs a spoiler.

I do like the rear lip tho. Matches the front lip pretty well.

I did also notice the gages. Possible turbo setup?

And I always have an advert thing in my texts on my posts!

he clearly made the front end to try looking like an accord, looks very identical. nice drop. ridiculous side mirror(s) like wtf is that thing. Roof looks pretty good. Looks painted black with a little lip spoiler at the top of the window. not a fan of the yellow highs but other than that it looks good. and the apillar could be anything ghettoninja, not necessarily boosted.

Looks like lambo doors The car is clean overall, but something was def shopped on that pic, look at the line of the door, it blurs in the middle. Lights are nice, not a fan of the honda H obviously, roof looks painted, I like the roof spoiler though

I never understood why people do that.

There's a lot going on with that CL. I like the roof though...and thats about it. What rear lip is that?

Good to see more unique CLs.

being open minded about his style, i think if he got some dark tint, a cf hood and trunk (if the roof is in fact painted) it would look pretty interesting.
gotta lose the blue lugs and red centercaps.. actually, he should just get some nice new wheels

It's different I mean i think the jdm folding in mirrors are cooler some guy had it on his CL like 5 years ago, but the mirrors are interesting. I like the body work and tail tint

Note: my assumption is that its a 98 3.0, i.e. automatic. thus the gauges are probably for ya know, well..nothing well, nothing good atleast. I could be wrong though.

thats how i feel about the CL. Some of the other acuras can get away with it because they have a JDM counterpart.

me too, I've always wanted to do an STI or EVO CF roof spoiler, but think it would stick out too far. And yeah it's a honda, but it's not jdm. See avatar. I'm just sayin the part is there, cuz I've seen it and know way too much about CL's

It's a little too cluttered for my taste, but it's still an eye-catcher.

Parking it next to the 2nd-gen makes it look even better though. The 2nd-gens have always looked good to me, but for some reason that one looks like the child of an '07 Civic and an '07 Focus.
