Yes our steering radius isn't that great, but I've found many ways to work around it. As for the emblems, you need to paint them or get a custom job, they don't make that crap for our cars. thank god

No, I got front and rear sways, all new polyurethayne bushings, slammed my car, and got some front strut braces, doesn't affect the turning radius per se, but it sure makes my car turn A LOT nicer
Even though I'm back on my stock coils for the time being

It doesn't help that our wheel base is so long. My car is as long if not longer than my wife's four-door Accord. But she is sleek none the less. Oh, a work around is called... "the three-point turn."

Haha, You know your turning radius sucks when you do a U-Turn and cant make a complete turn without having to put the car in reverse just so you dont hit the curb.
Fortunately, I havent had to do that yet.

I just go a little bit faster into the U-turn and shift the weight outside while turning the wheels quickly... sometimes i could do a u-turn with 2 1/2 lanes (my lane + left lane + a piece of the further left lane because of the car's nose...).
where is....

turning radius is terrible, my mom's mini van and crv & my camry has a better turning radius than the cl......its just a friggin boat.
^that also works too, the back end is shifty enough to swing it for a u-turn.

Ya U-turns are a bitch unless you can pull the handbreak and do a tokyo drift like me. Sometimes I pull the handbreak, do a 180, put it in reverse, and flip my friend off while on the highway going 60. "How you like them apples Rome?"

haha... I'll see what i can do... My one friend freaks out everytime i do it with him in the car... so maybe i can get him to just video tape it...
but again... dont expect straight up tokyo drift... I can only hold it out for so long in this boat... haha
