Those are awesome, but it might be weird looking on the CL.

The only lights I have ever seen these put into is the 2nd Gen GS lights. Not sure if they would look good in anything else.

Oh yah...I think that JVC is a pretty good deal. go for it


I had a clarion 7" flip out in my accord and it wasnt all that after a while. 3.5 inch screen should be good enough for a car.

the reason why i did that was because i wanted to do a retrofit into my first gen but i wanted to do something different. before i sold my car, i was looking into putting these in and making them fit in a way. I know that they are big, but I knew a guy that could make them really nice and look stock. He moved out of the country so he cant do it for me anymore. I dont know where the sketches are of them in, but they where scale and it looked mean as hell. There would have been some of the projector itself cut a bit and sealed and it would have been tight, but he said he could do it and i trust him. And i wanted projectors because of HID's and they look sweet. As for my 6 speed, as of right now, i still have to get some stuff done with that before I do anything externally. I kinda want to make it into a sleeper....... I have some things lined up that will be done without anyone knowing until they are done. You guys are the first to know that i'm planning things








p.s. I LOVED MY FIRST GEN! I visit you guys all the time.
