I don't agree on the whites. It actually looks cleaner with the clears considering the headlights are also clear.

MAYBE... just MAYBE, amber bulbs might look allright. I'm considering on trying that instead of my white/blue bulbs to see for myself.

clears give it a cheap plastic look imp. This has been discussed many times before, but looking at the amber, it looks more genuine, obviously because it's stock. But the clear look, it just screams plastic for some reason, meaning cheap. I think there needs to be some color contrast as well. Amber gives it that and a more mature look... maybe the clear just seems "rice" to me... i know a lot of ppl when they first start modding cars, they always go clear. but then as time goes by, they go back to stock or amber. maybe that's what you will do someday. but anyway... everything looks good, but i'm disagreeing with you on the clears!

TheBatmobile

That's fine agree to disagree.

Yeah I got the WW Lip

I just got back from the shop and I had them raise it a little bit since it was rubbing the fender all the time and I'd bottom out too. Now I may lower it just a little more, I've yet to decide, but it rides great now.

TheBatmobile

This was my first experience with a car in the sand, besides my parents land rover which can go through sand like nothing. I guess it's a combo of the street tires and the FWD, that did me in.

man i love the sand

Time For Sleeep

lol awesome.

I almost got the custom rates for mine too (13/7 to 11/6), but I didn't feel like shelling out the extra cash lol. The car has a really aggressive ride and it makes for some fun freeway riding on huge dips (i.e i have to shout out DIPPPPPP to my passengers for fun).

Look into really closely on what exactly they'll be doing on the fender roll. I'm not quite sure how it is on 1st gens, but for 2nd gens, there's only any reason to roll the rear. The front doesn't really have any paneling that juts out horizontally for you to "roll" up, where as the rear is definitely good to roll.

What happened with me is that they shaved my rears, but ended up rolling my front fenders up VERTICALLY since there was pretty much nothing to roll. It's not noticeable, but it just bothered me that because i'm trying to cut down on my fender gap by lowering my car, they essentialyl created even more of a gap so I could get clearance... . it's aight though, live and learn.


moral of my too long story, just be VERY careful and tell them EXACTLY what you want done to your car.

klepto

you gotta do some crazy stuff to get a diff perspective for shots. Crouch, lay on the ground, climb up on shit, whatever!

I have the ksports as well, but stiffer rates (13/7) shit is mad stiff.

TheBatmobile

Yeah I did some research, before I got my coils. I remember playing gran turismo and I remember like 13 being a really stiff spring rate. So I was like I ain't gonna be doing no GT action so I don't need that, also the tein basics are like 7/4 or some shit and I was like damn that's a big difference to 13/7. he said you could drop it two numbers and not have to revalve the shock, which is when there's a cost otherwise it's free. So I went with 11/6, actually I changed it to 10/6 but I guess he forgot and it came 11/6 but I think I'm glad he did forget, 10/6 might've been too soft for me. See you guys can prolly drop lower than me cause you have stiffer springs. If I drop it too low my tire will hit the wheel well if I hit a bump which can be quite dangerous if I'm taking a fast corner. I had them raise it up about an inch today and now I can go in and out of my driveway with ease and I don't scrape the wheel well when I hit a bump. I may have them lower it just a little bit more or I might do it myself, if could get a little more detailed explanation on how to do that, Klepto!

Yeah driving on twisty roads is fun, I like this. I thought my integra could handle good now my CL is better. I'm gonna have to look into sway bars now, I hear that will help out alot.

You will LOVE some sways

TheBatmobile

Yeah what sways you got? weren't you selling some, I think they got bought though, didn't they?

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

I had stock sways listed, I doubt anyone wants them though, you're probably thinking of the front and rear strut bars I sold a while back.

I have suspension techniques front and rear, they are thick as hell, they're lime green though.

TheBatmobile

Why do you have lime green strut bars? Were they given to you for a cheap price? Or did you used to be a ricer with a lime green civic and you wanted to paint your CL that color? I hope you didn't pay full price or even close to it for those?

ZeroCL

They are under your car, who cares?

TheBatmobile

They still stick out, you can still see them. Hence the reason they're lime green to begin with. They wouldn't be lime green if you couldn't see them.

spencer_homer

it doesnt matter if theyre green, that doesnt mean he shouldnt have paid as much for them. maybe a lil spray can will be able to fix it? its no big deal

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

you can't see them for shit, and I dunno it's just their signature, and no I didn't get them cheap, they were $300 for the set, they just come green now They're also one of the thickest sets, that's why I got them, and you can't see them unless you're 10-15 feet behind the car and you're REALLY lookin

ZeroCL

Why are you trying to start something? I just dont understand what you were going at? Like there was no point, but whatever.

If the cars lowered, its pretty hard to see. If he really cared, im sure he could/will be painting them.

iTrader: (1)

mr black ack..where did you get those sways?

very interested

Pooner

dude awsome pics Black CLs all the way man!!!!

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Ebay, $260 a set

And no, my car is slammed, and you can't see them, I had to lay on my belly to take this shot





And the rear was higher than the front. You can't see the front at ALL, it goes up and over the exhaust,



the rear, you can't see cuz of the exhaust and bumper, but you def won't see it when the rear lip is installed. But you can't see it period, especially me, I'm 6'5"

You don't know what you're talkin about dain, you can't see those at all

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Even if you can see them, it's only someone chasing behind you, and that just shows them that you've done suspension work (which I've done tons of) and I don't mind people noticing that, it's not like they can see my bushings, coil or strut braces

They just see the car's slammed to the ground

TheBatmobile

I've seen sway bars on other cars before by just driving behind them. How nows maybe the CL is different but, I've seen them many times on other cars.

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

So have I, my point is you'll hardly see it, and even if they do, I'm not that worried about it, Zero's right, if I thought you could really see them, I'd have em powdercoated black, but I'm not worried about it in the least, especially since my CL sits so low to the ground

Cocoa

iTrader: (2)

I got em also. I really didnt care to paint them. As long as it's functional, thats what matters most to me.

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

And it's not like they stick out, you can barely see em, man do they work though

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

i must grab a set

starboy2nv

iTrader: (2)

thank you.


people here cares about the way things look and not the way how they function.

ZeroCL

So low you cant get out of your driveway, haha.

5-speed

just like women.

TheBatmobile

I do care about how it looks not necessarily more than how it functions, cause if lime green was the only color they came in then and I really wanted some then I guess I'd get them in lime green. but since I know that with a little research I can get some probably just as good as the ones above but in a different color like black then I'd do that. Now if I could get the lime green ones for $50 then I'd buy em and spend $5 and spray paint them another color.

He's been banned at least 5 times, for coming back on as different usernames, cursing out admins and mega mods, and blatently disobeying the bans to come back and start more trouble, much like other users that have been banned repeatedly.
