Ride w/ Flex CL Pics

Well here they are. The show is supposed to air SAT JULY 24TH.

1st look i was impressed. some cool 18s and nice blue paint job. im thinkin that will look sweet. too bad no drop though.



after being 3 hours late flex finally shows in his infinity. of course it has 19 giovannas


flex learnin his lines


then finally i cant wait to see it blue then BAMM! 2 tone what a surprise. i was so dissappointed! I knew blue would look great especially after seeing katana's



tekademics 18" rims. they make cool car vids and cool rims!



silver and purple tribal pattern between the colors

flex learnin his lines again

thats nick the cars owner



family shot


flex is out!


but not till i get a pic! i chased him down


now its time to represent A-cl.com





dropped cls look 10000x better


the paint job is not my taste. if they would have only painted the whole thing blue and dropped it!

I think ill be on the show on the crowd shots and in the background, but im sure my cl made it becuase i parked right in the background for the drive away shot. I thought they would have did more to the car, but i found out they only had a $4000 budget so it was never supposed to be anything to crazy. Overall it was a good experience and I got to meet flex. most importantly i got the business card of the producer to send my resume for spring internship.

bah.. not impressed. The two tone point would have looked good if it didn't have those pansy ass "links" in between it. It still has the damn clear corneres, and no drop. The whole lack of a drop makes it bad, but I guess it's just so they wouldn't have to spend TOO much tim eon it :P.

On you're car is that just a type-r front lip? Damn that shit looks a LOT better lowered with the type-r lip than I though it would. It doens't even need a body kit if it's lowered like that. How much of a drop is that?

Typical Flex pretty paint & rims but nothing else. You think they could spring for some $200 springs in place of that ghey tribal shite. The 2 tone doesnt look bad though.

the producer was in the area going to private schools looking for kids to subit pics of their cars. she stop for lunch at my friends fathers italian restaraunt. his brother runs it. she asked if he had a kid. he said yes. told her how he got into bad car accident, just graduated hs, balh blah ablha. she liked his story and had him meet her in ny with the 1st 98 2.3 cl auto. liked him and the car and said we got a deal! then 3 days later he totals the cl. thats the car that i got the rims and center console out from my previous posts. insurance gave him 13k he only paid 9 and he bought anonther 98 2.3cl 5spd. well now they had an even better story. so thats the whole story.

VXCL is the first with the molded front and rear lip on the car, and i think he is lowered 2 inches and on the lowest perch for koni yellows and i think there is about a finger gap if that

The car looks :ghey: I like your CL more mike. You have one of the cleanest CL's on the board, that CL looks terrible with triabls on it. Two tone, not bad though. Just my opinion, though. I thought it was going to be something unreal when it was all done, but a lot of board members have cars hotter than that :thumbsdn:

yeah, in that first pic of him it looks like he's saying "You want me to say WHAT?!?!"

oh yeah and VXCL: I know it's a molded lip, but is it just the type-r lip molded on there?

It's not too bad at all. If anything, I'm sure he could make a few extra $$ if he wanted to sell it. Since it will be on Flex's show, it might catch the eye of someone who never noticed a CL before. It's wierd seening that paint. I can't remember a show where they painted a car like that. I've only seen solids w/ some rally stripes. This is the first time I've seen them do something other than a muscle car.

I wonder how many CL's people actually just LIKE around here I think yours (VXCL) is the only one where I never heard a negative comment on.

I'm not feeling the :ghey: tribal vinyl. The two tone is aight but It would of looked tighter all blue. All that is left for you to do is finish the look. First remove that gay vinyl. Then drop the CL 2.5". Add a WW front lip and clear corners. Finally get some performance under that hood. This way your car doesn't only have looks but some umph! to match. Your CL will then look sweet. By the way tight CL mike kinda looks like mines except for the projectors which are tight. Overall I expected more but what can you say it's true flex is all about paint and rims. Atleast you can finish what they didn't.

I kinda got mixed emotions on this one. I like the colors, i think the 2 tone looks good, but that tribal shit looks horrible. It woulda been much nicer had the paint been blended in. Wheels look good, but i cant believe they didnt drop it!
