Love my CL (Pics)
These pics were taken back in March. Since then, the car was completely sanded and repainted using the original black color with 3 layers of Nissan White Pearl on top. Thought it would come out different but it turned out to be the graphite color on the new Accords... Will have new pics soon...

Its got HIGH milage and I use the car for work too. When I got it back in Febuary with 110000 and now it has 115000. The best part is that the guy that had it before me used it for work too and they were all highway miles.

HAHA Nice choice in Color. Actually i painted it with a friend. I bought all top of the line DuPont primer, paint and clear so it cost me around $1000 for the materials. Then about a 3 days to paint.

Yeah i originally bought it for my moms TL and the guy that i bought it from on EBay stated that it was for a NON Type-S. As it tured out, it was for a Type-S so i had to cut it down to fit hers. Then took it from hers to mine and cut it even more so its all straight. And i will add, it sounds nice when the VTec kicks in. Speaking of which, is it normal for it to kick in at around 3600??

"New" Paint
Here are the pics of the paint as promised. You cant really see the pearl until you zoom in if you can. The car is dirty tho so that may also make it hard to see. But if you zoom in a bit you will see that there are purples, greens, oranges, and reds in the paint.

The apple on the back bumper is of some asshole hitting the car when i was in class with something sharp on the front of his car and then pulling away. It punctured the bumper and peeled the paint away. I will be going to a junk yard this saturday to buy a new bumper and will be painting it sometime either this month or spring next year.

The fogs are stock.
BTW anyone know how much was the fog light option originally?
I cannot find another CL with stock fogs on Ebay atleast. Let alone an Accord. I have seen an accord with them around where i live but other than that, nothing...

Hey, we have almost the same color (kinda)
Congratulations on the paint job. Getting it done right by the body shop is NOT easy, but it's so worth it in the end.
