yeah i just did a quick wash at the coin op, but you're right it could use a wax.

I painted the flares with duplicolor, which still didn't get shiney after the 3rd can

Otherwise they straight out ouf the box, made for the car.

the colour match isn't bad, it's just not glossy.

but it's just temp for the winter, i'll continue in the spring, just wanted to seal up the rust before the snow hits.

i got them from the internet. and they are actually for the car so it shouldn't be to hard to find.

That's true, the color matches great but would look alot better gossy to match the fenders. You could always try spraying a nice glossy clear coat on them.

looks good but that paint could use some lovin. A good cut with a buffer and a nice polish and a wax and it should come back to life

love the lip spoiler, but IMHO i think the CLs rear end needs a fatter spoiler (non oem), like the TSX mugen spoiler... custom fitted of course...

The car looks really good, Dave.

So I guess you cut out the rust and covered it with the fender flares? I didn't notice the flares until someone mentioned it. Very subtle.

i dunno, if i take off the spikes and spoiler the car would look unfinished imo.

live out in the country, tire shine = brown tires, no thanks.

yeah i ground down the rust, sealed up the inner fender and then rockgaurded it. it's not pretty by any means, but that's what the flares are for.

Ah thought you were saying you don't have rust because you live in Houston. I get the joke now though.
