Took me a bit to figure out you painted the lip of your wheels. Thought your tires were gigantic.

Only parts of the car im not feeling are the front bumper wing-air deflector things, vents on the rear bumper and the honda badges. Seems like your goin for the "jdm type" look which you could easily pull off if the car was cleaned up a bit basically too much goin on at once imo. As for the carbon fiber theme I think it looks good. Did you wrap the hood or is a real cf? just my

I think the wider wheels/tires would look better if you had some of those fenders flares.

They are, that's a big lip


Shaun, I'm not a fan of carbon fiber vinyl, but I def dig the idea and the originality. Let me know how it holds up to weather conditions, I'd be interested to know. Not something I'd try, but I do like the roof, trunk and hood all matching, that looks really sick on the white. Keep it up man, you're always comin out of left field with something original

I'm not feelin' it at all....

I agree, remove that rear tail and it'll def. look cleaner and make it more unified looking

Not a fan of those cutouts in the bumper, nor the rims/tires combo -- but overall hats off to you for being original (eventhough its def not for me).

the wind deflectors arent bad... i just think that they may be a little to big (stick out too far). i wouldnt have painted the lip on the car.... but i need to see it in person to make a clearer opinion

No roof racks anymore? Dam.

Umm the idea of it is cool! I dont like that step ladders on the side and the "vents" in the back. Other then that I think it looks alright...wheels are 4x4 for sure.

when you run 16 with a smaller series of tire.. you get low as shit man. look at how low his car is to the ground already.. just because he has a bit of fender gap doesnt mean he isnt low.

I've never seen canards on a CL before. I like the style you're going for, I just don't think the CL is one of those cars that can pull it off.

why can't people say there peace in peace.

Dude it looks like a riced out civic to me. If you wanted to look real ricey should of done that to a civic. With your engine all you needed was a drop and some good rims.

This is an Acura not HONDA. I mean do that to an Old Integra or what not but not the
CL. Take off the Red Honda emblems it goes with nothing. Sorry man but your car is beast in the inside but outside lets just say different

for sure. whatever you like, its all you. and i agree, things look better in person than in photos 10x. i hate seeing GTR's in pics but in real life theyre so damn sexy!

anyway, if you like it, then its cool. too bad i cant actually see it in person to have a better judgement of it.
