Like This First Gen Kit?

Here is a Pix of a first gen Kit, I cut it out of the aut trader a couple of weeks ago. Sorry it took so long to post, I just figured out how to. It's the only pix i could get of this kit, I've seen a big color poster of it, but the guy at the shop wouldn't let me have it. Anyways he said if I wanted it the full 4 pc. kit would be around 5 Hundred

Judging from the pic the front bumper seems very aggressive and hangs quite low. Not bad, yet I don't see the full kit appearance. Are you sure there is a full kit because I don't see much of a difference in the sideskirts. Please provide info and contacts because I'm very interested in the front bumper. thanks.

i think i know the owner of that car. it is an accord bumper modified. the color of the car was grayish, silverish. it also had custom clears on the back, but has been since sold.

Yea I think this only has the front, I can't get a pic of the whole kit because it's on a 12 by 18 poster in a shop in China Town L.A. and the guy that owns the place won't let me have it or borrow it to scan. The poster is made by " Tuned by Matrix", it's not the best kit, but it's different.
I'll try to go there today and take a picture of the poster to scan for u guys.

I agree probably a modded accord bumper. So far the only body kits are from wings west. That post is probably a computer generated CL, but I could be wrong.

This front end could be off an Accord, or not, I'm just tryin to say, If someone wanted it, it is possible to get. The guy at the shop I spoke to said he could get it, If he has to modify every Accord kit for every order he gets, that's his problem. The point is that it is available.
Oh yeah, I think this car was sold like a month ago.

It's still up on AutoTrader for $30K! It has fairly low miles and has a lot of stuff, but I'm not sure I'd pay that much for a CL. I'd grab an IS300.

$10K for a system is not that much for a show car (which I assume this is). Mine in my del Sol was around $8-$10K after wiring, amp racks, install, etc. The subs alone were $300 each ($900 total), the two amps were around $1000 each ($2K there), the DVD player/7.5" monitor (another $1.5K), EQ, Crossover, head unit, cd changer and little stuff like wiring, fuses blocks, terminals, etc. It adds up quickly. Just my wiring was over $500.

That is an accord bumper modified to fit a CL. I've seen that car before and I have a good pic of it...........just can't seem to find it. If I ever do find it, I'll post it.

I heard it's not too hard to do make any 94-97 accord full bumper fit, just triming off the grill area, and modifing where it meets the fender.

If I ever get a CL, I'm going to try to get the Kaminari kit modified and can report back exactly what they needed to do. I like Kaminari's stuff because it is not wild and big like most aftermarket kits. It's kinda plain and more aerodynamic looking. That one kinda looks like a Blitz front, but the pic is kinda dark, so I can't really tell. Not my cup of tea though. Looks too big for a sleek looking car like the CL, but that's just my taste.

We'll see how much money I have after the big buy (fingers still crossed for today)...
