Tlc cl

Hey guy, well.. Spring has come and now have come the time to do a little TLC to my cl... I Bought the car 2 years ago, while i was still at school and had a pretty bad part-time job. I could barely keep paying the car.. I worked hard last summer and payed off the car completely while buying a 94 Integra as a winterbeater/delivery car. I am ready to give my cl what she deserves, a complete bodywork job, its going to cost me 3000$ canadian, but i think its a good choice. I only have 110.000 km on her (66k miles)!!

I going for stock primerose color, im repaiting my stock wheels gun metal color, and i allready have a 30% tint allarround, plus im getting my taillights tinted. The drop might come next summer though.. with a complete bushing overhaul. Exhaust is going to be this summer, maybe next summer im going to buy real rims :-).

Can't wai!!

sounds good.
one question though, have you thought of going a different shade of silver or a diff color? i'm very happy that i switched to a different black when i got my car repainted, and it makes it feel a little more unique of a car and of a cl just a suggestion tho
glad to hear some ppl are still so passionate about the cl's to get them fixed up can't wait to see those pics

I really really like that primerose, i dont know why, its very unique on its own.. I dont want a silver car.. like any other, the primerose has that purplish tint to it, and it looks terrific at sunset... where it looks almost perleascent

Primrose is a very difficult color to paint, make sure you have a body shop that knows what they're doing

Hey guys, one of my side mirrors is broken, as i will repaint the whole car, i might buy some aftermarket ones instead of buying stock ones..

Which ones are nice and of good quality. Must be electric

The ebay ones are any good? http://cgi.ebay.ca/M3-POWER-LED-SIDE...1%7C240%3A1318

I find the 40$ + shipping is a little bit on the cheap side.. I am not shure about the quality.

What about this with tinted blinkers?
