dudee!
how much did u pay for the rims/tires

 

nice really like the rims,whole car flows well. What size tires you running? looks great but alittle on the thin side........

 

For the 5 lug conversion, I used 96 odyssey spindles with 99 prelude calipers in the front and for the rear i used 99 prelude hub/bearing assembly with stock calipers. I paid $700 for the rims and tires. The tire size is 235-35-19.

 

Thats what I figured, I'm assuming I'd need a Digital SLR for that?

 

ah hah! i saw this on craigslist i think and i knew i saw this car somewhere before.

which one the accord or the cl? I once had a post on craigslist trying to trade both for a s2000.

 

here are some pics of me test fitting the hood.

 

thats gonna be badasssss.

 

that is fuckin sick. I need to get me 1 of those hoods.

 

Sick, CF hoods ftw

 

Great looking car, only things I don't like are the rims and the tan interior, but dang you got a nice one goin! Keep us posted on that turbo, you make me like red cars =)

 

Nice hood man. That'll flow great!

But if I were you, I'd buy and smoke some clear turn signal housings. Those smoked ambers are struggling...

 

thats looks great. no color matching FTW.

 

nice man. looks like its coming around now.

 

I plan on getting the smoked clear signals but those will probably be the last thing I buy before I get it back on the road. I'm trying to get all the big purchases out the way so my wife'll stop trippin.

Once again, thanks everybody for posting what you think. Its getting close, hopefully it'll be done in a couple months. I haven't driven anything stick in a long time.

 

ur car is sex bro!!!!!!

 

thats a sexci CL man,take care of it and show them ''thats a nice accord you got'' mothafakaas whats up lol

 

does anyone know how much it would be to get a carbon trunk made?

 

Likes pretty badass if you ask me. Good work!

 

Turbo's are cool

 

im sure it would cost x 700 and alot of and some more of this

it would be so worth it but i have never seen one

blackack has the only carbon door handles and there were a few gas doors available too....you can always call a company and ask around

 

trunk wont be cheap, the mold alone will be big money, you're better off getting a group buy together. They've been talked about but never done. We had to wait years and do a group buy to get your CF hood even produced, only reason your CF hood exists is cuz of the group buy solicited by this site. The similar would have to be done for the trunk unless you do a one of a kind custom which would not be worth it at all.

 

I love that CL! Wish more 1st gens looked like that.

You should be able to do it with a decent point and shoot camera also. If it has a manual mode, then you can bracket the photo. You'll need to take at least 3 shots, then a program like Photomatrix or Photoshop CS2 or newer and Adobe Bridge to produce an HDR image. It's not as easy as running it through the program. It takes some experimenting. asianspec did a pretty good job.

 

how many people did you have to get together for that group buy? How much did the hood cost each?

 

We did 20 people, $460 for the hoods plus shipping, but it took like 2 years and won't be happening from the same people again

 

thanks man. I used Dynamic Photo HDR. its a really easy program to use. Using CS is very complicated if you don't know what you are doing. Photomatrix is also like CS.

 

Carbon fiber trunk! count me in! (no joke)
sick ass CL btw. love everything about it, like ur style
red+tan+black w/ all the right carbon fiber accents=110% Nastyness!

 

One down... eighteen to go!!
I Just bought another cl today with mint dark grey interior, I'll probably end up swapping the interiors. I'll post picks of the progress.

 

nice man. if you sell some of the parts, please post in the black market so we can raid it.

 

Man I wish I had the money to buy myself another CL.

What color is it? If it's black I'll take your front bumper if you part it.

 

Its a light blue 99 2.3 cl. I picked it up for $700. I won't be parting it out just fixing and flippin. It looks like its going to be a little longer before the red one's on the road. I got a couple of other projects going on. I recently bought a 93 lexus es300 that I'll be fixin and flippin as well. My wife can't complain if I buy toys with extra money made from cars.

 

wow i wish i could do that too. is the one with the grey interior leather? i wish u were parting, i need a couple lil interior parts

 

damn baller where u get all this money from? are you really 16 years old? i dont even recall driving a car till i was like 17..but i have to admit. you have some pretty good taste and know a lot about cars for that age. if your really 16. hahah

 

sweet car bro,but i would take them yellow thingies out and attach a spoiler on the trunk to remove the CL slant

 

no hes 27, i think u were looking at the number of post, sick car tho, cant wait to see the final project

 

I wish I knew everything I knew now when I was sixteen, life would be totally different. I'm 27 going on 28 this friday. I've been working at the post office for 10 years now and God has been really good to me. Thanks again to everyone for all of the feedback, this site is awesome.

 

Glad you like it here

Yeah, my buddy just got a job at the Post Office and he loves it. He makes $16 an hour and has his own office. That's doing really well considering he's still a senior in high school.

 

here are some pics of me swapping out interiors.

 

thats crazy man, but whats up with the bent dick shifter?
