What next for my CL???

Well... im not sure what my next project for my cl should be.... this is what it looks like..



i know you guys are gonna flame me for the stickers, but they are from my buddies' shops (except for a selct few) and stickers can easily be removed... anyways..
This is what I want to do to my ride:

black housing headlights
Front Lip
Change rims (not sure what to get.. any suggestions?)
Change windsheild (has a crack in the center)
Headers
Exhaust
Window Visors??? (dont know what car i can get them from to make them fit our CLs)
Brake rotors

What I Have done to it:

Dropped on Coilovers
Intake
Tinted windows
Driving lights (where the high beams are)
Rims (currently Rota Ciruit 8's)
Sound System

any input would be helpful... if you think i should add something else thats not on the list... tell me!

BTW: Hybrid and PalayaHata are banned from this thread!!! MuAHAHAHAHAA!!! Just kiddin!!!

I say keep the rims and think about getting a lip for the front. I know you don't want to hear it, but you gotta get rid of the shit on your trunk and back bumper. It looks fucking awful. That's all you need to do for looks IMO.
After that you should look into some performance mods to add a little power. Unless of course it's an automatic 2.x in which case you shouldn't even bother.

after a second look at this thread i'm feeling them rims
those rims are 16's(look bigger to me)????what coilovers you dropped on?
if those are 16's those are the best lookin 16's/tire(not to fat) combo i ever saw on a cl based on the way it flows with your car.not a fan of smaller rims but they look hot

yea im half guyanese and half indian....

as for as that crack in your windshield... change it asap, cuz if you didnt apply a sealer, its gonna spread more when it rains...

and say bye to your mudguards...
