if you look at allot of the members cars on here you will get allot of ideas that you will want to do. Allot of people run the west wings front lip and if they want a rear lip they usually get one made for an accord and have it modified to fit the cl since there is none made for the CL. Everyone on here will also say drop it but I am a little older than most members on here and I just don't think I would look right riding in a low ass car unless its my corvette. I would may consider getting rid of some of the wheel gap but in no way would ever want anything as low as some of the cars on here sit. The lowering thing is completely up to you but the lip kit and tint will do wonders for the car

The 3.0 is a 6 cylinder not a 4 cylinder. The WW front lip is meant to be used with the factory side skirts. Some people modify side skirts from other vehicles to fit on the CL but there is none made for it specifically. There isn't allot of body parts that is made for the Acura CL but allot of the ones for the accord can be modified to work.

Look here for ideas
https://acurazine.com/forums/1g-cl-photograph-gallery-57/

There are lots of things to make it look "sick" depends on what direction you want to go with it. Here's a few examples

^ You would sneak your own car in there

A lot of this is just research. Before you do anything, spend a bunch of time around the CL forums, pick up on part names, etc. The more you know...

His car rightfully belongs there thats why lol. My car, not so much, maybe just the engine lol. But you're right, research by looking at the photograph section and the noob guide would help greatly.

If I could get my car to look like this one I would be happy, I think this is the cleanest looking CL I have ever seen. I like allot of other peoples cars on here and think they did a good job as well but there is something about this one that stands out with me that I love. The only think I am not to fond of is the head lights but to each his own on that. I guess the things i like most about the car is the kit he has molded in, and that is what i would like to use on mine with my own wheels and other stuff but love the lip kits he used

from what i remember he has a prelude custom fitted front body kit. I talked to him a couple of weeks ago. he's keeping the car until it dies or natural causes gets to it first.

ackalac didn't make the thread. lol

I remember him saying the rear was from a prelude in one of his other threads

I guess thats why I like it so much, because I have never seen another one like it. I like the WW front lip but its been beat to death (even though I have one ordered) I would still rather have something different from everyone else
