"New" owner

I just inherited a '97 3.0cl from my dad (just bought an '05 vette), so i know the car (and trust me, i am definitly a fan), but i'm only just now able to do anything to it.

I need any recommendations anyone is willing to give, i have some ideas what im intending on doing, but they're mostly just general thoughts (different interior lighting, make the exterior a bit classier)

It's a maroon car with black leather interior.
So far i have a 7-inch dvd/gps that im about to install, and 2-12" JL subs w/ amp that im puttin in the trunk...

I'm new to the acura business, my last car was a 92 chevy blazer, and i just finished rebuilding a 61 camero for my neighbor's nephew...

Any help is appreciated

damn. welcome to the forum bud. Take a look at some topics that are open right now... there are plenty of suggestions for member's who've just joined actually.

Just, um, I guess - be aware the CL will never put out any kind of power like the vette... unless you do some heavy modification to it.

edit: haha what am I talking about, shit - when I say heavy i mean HEAVY.

Good luck,
-Alex
