Just got my CL

I just turned 16 and my parents suprised me with a Black on Black 99 CL 3.0 Premium w/ the acura lattice chrome wheels and the spoiler. I love the car but i have a few questions...

1) Has anyone done a HID headlight conversion on this car? If yes, does it look good and preform better than the stock headlights, and is it worth it or is there a cheaper alternative?

2) I saw a gen 1 CL with badging like that of the Gen 2, anyone have any information about this and how much it would cost.

3) I was wondering if there was any instructions on how to convert the stock grill to the one with a mesh background.

4) Where is the cheapest place to get Clear bumper lights, and do i have to buy new bulbs with the new lenses?

5) Is there a place where I could get extended wood trim that would cover the complete console, door controls, etc.

6) Where would I be able to find wood gauges background.

7) Lastly, has anyone changed out the hand brake lever with a different one and has anyone replaced the gear selector lever wiht somthing a little more stylish?

Any input or other worthwile mods would be greatly appreciated.

Also, are there any problems that I should watch for on this car?

Thanks
Mike

PS: Will post pics soon!

Welcome!

Click on my pics below. You'll find a number of mods you're looking for (as well as many others here).

If you do a "search" (upper right-hand corner of your screen), you'll find many threads on the questions you ask.

Good luck!
