Very nice, one of the few red CLs I like. I would definitely get some clear corners though.

I'm from Tampa, FL. I'm going to boost the usdm motor with 6 to 8 pounds and build the jdm one. I used to have an accord coupe h22, no ac, no powersteering, with 16's. For now i just want the CL to move like the accord did- with the 19's, sub, and everything else still hooked up. I'm not sure exactly how low the coilovers are, maybe 2.25 inches. I don't have any issues with rubbing because of negative camber. I think once I straighten that out I might have to raise it up though or roll the fenders. The floorbar made a difference-it felt like I added a fat rear sway bar. I plan on blacking out the headlights and getting some smoked clear lenses. Hey BlackAck, how much you charge to make some headlights?

cl update

Its been a while but here's a pic of some of my progress. I took the motor out, blacked out the headlights, got my lip, and the carbon fiber hood should be here in couple days. I can't wait to get that turbo project going. I'll post some new pics when I get the hood on it.

yeah, I like the red and black theme, but I'm leaning towards painting the lip kit and installing a carbon fiber splitter. It kinda sucks that there's only a couple lips out there for our cars, so i'm going to try to do something a little different. I just got the lip yesterday. don't you love it when new toys come in the mail.

more pics

Thanks again for all of the compliments. Here are some pics of other goodies I recently just got and a picture of my old accord that I pulled the h22 out of. Damn I wish I would of swapped the 5 lug suspension with the CL before I sold it.
The clutch is a spec stage 2+.
