Well, you could lower the car by putting in new springs. You could also replace the orange front corners with clear ones. Tinting the windows will improve the look too, or putting some some new rims. You should post some pictures of the car, and maybe figure out how much you plan on spending to make it look good.

Typical women, date someone then try to change it!!!!!!
Im offended my cl looks great from the factory.

on a more helpful note, how much money are we lookin at. The 2 cheaper ways, Nice Rims and a drop. If u wnna get pricey we have body kits? or what my GF did to me.. Trade In!!!

1. Paint it a hot color never before seen on a CL
2. Shave everything
3. Swap in an H22
4. Turbo it
5. Air suspension
6. 19inch rims
7. Tv's
8. Everywhere
9. Custom interior
10. Bangin system
11. Tint



and that should do it. have about 30k ready or so. Or just spend that and buy a new car.

definitely drop it

eibach pro-kit is the typical one...lowers about 1.6" settled, with little camber issues

if u want lower, there's neuspeed sports and eibach sportlines, stuff like that

or all out, Tein SS (recommended by everyone)

What year is your car, and is it a 3.0, or a 2.x?
