My 1998 CL

So just wanted to say hello just got my cl a couple days ago for 1700 bucks. The car is in pretty good shape for the price. A/c actually works and paint looks pretty good besides the back bumper and spoiler and the pin strip I need to take off. Pretty much the interior needs some attention and cleaning. Alot of the wiring has been hacked up from the radio. My abs and srs lights are on so I wanna sort that out.




Trying to fit my new seats, pretty horrible shift knob for the record



Bought some function form coilovers and I have wheels from my old car


Picked these up yesterday fro 170 bucks


Oh and this was my 2nd gen cl


OK so my first question I have been searching the site to find a diy to fit rsx seats but the only information I found was I need 94-97 accord rails can anyone point me in the right direction for what I need to do exactly to swap the rails. Thanks in advance.

CL looks nice! Those wheels will look great on it, just needs more rubber in my opinion lol.
RSX seats are awesome in this car too, and $170 is a hell of a steal. I had custom brackets on mine, and I think most other people do that too, I'm not sure how complicated it is to actually swap rails.

Yeah that's an old picture of the rims the fronts have bigger tires now went from 205/40/17 to 205/45/17 which made it look alot more proportional. For the seats I'm thinking about taking the rails off completely to get some extra head room I'm 6'5 so I need all extra headroom I can get. I'll post some pics once I drop it and get the wheels on

Nice car! I'm in Davie.

I bought my son the same car you have and he's ready for rims next. He's got the boom-boom in the trunk. I liked his car so much that I got myself one too after watching Craigslist for 4 months for a cream puff, and I am selling my Mustang GT Convertible. It reminds me of a Prelude Si that I had in the late 80's.

Do you still have the drivers seat rack? Good motors? Ron
