Welcome, thanks for the introduction, I too am a muscle car guy, but I got stuck modding the CL after I lost my Trans Am. The lines definitely are one of the best things about the CL's. I'm glad you found your way here, and welcome aboard

Welcome
Show us some pictures of your cl when you have a chance
...Mostly so we can tell you to lower it
Enjoy AZine, we have a lot of good information on here, just make sure you keep your spending in check, or else you may spend more on your acuras on mods than you ever thought possible

I am also into muscle cars as I own a toy 89 camaro but I also have a 1969 Dodge Super bee that i have owned since I was 18 (I am 40 now) and also a 69 camaro Z28 with the original DZ302 in it with 16000 original miles on it (only thing ever been changed on it is the radiator hoses and those were bought NOS from a closed dealership and battery). those two cars never leave the garage at my Uncles house (where I was brought up, they raised me. because the garage is air and heated) except for a few car shows I have taken them to in the past few years

Thank everybody for the welcome! i'll post some pics soon? i dont think the site will let me under noob status? The CL is all original except for some 17in. wheels my wife put on 10 years ago The TL is the car she drives most of time and she is looking to start fixing up, i got her on hold since i just dropped over 6k rebuilding the engine and installing a supercharger on my 01Roush. I never thought about fixing up the CL since it was just my daily driver but after seeing some of you guys CLs, ive definetly changed my mine! ill probably be asking alot of questions: where did you get this? where did you get that sort of thing??

This. The n00b guide is a huge help. Also, the search button/feature towards the top of every page.

Mine has been in my family since it was new. My mom bought it new and I bought it from her when she got a TSX. Whats really funny is she hates her TSX and keeps bothering me to sell her the CL back... lol not going to happen mom!

His are either tint sheets from ebay that you cut or nightshade spray tint. I did the spray 34 or so coats the sun has fadded it away a bit but im liking it better the way it is now. Still looks tinted but more smoked

Welcome! I think tint/vinyl overlay is the way to go for tinting your tail lights

Indeed. Nightshade could look nice too but tint is the way to go. And you could always peel the tint off if you get a fix it ticket or want to sell the car.
Ohh and welcome!

i will warn you of this. the tint traps heat and ive seen them cause lots of tiny spidered cracks in the headlights especially with HID's. I want to take mine off just to be able to see at night again...
