What should I do first?

Well....I am at a loss with my Cl. I'm not exactly sure of what to do to it, or with it for that matter. The car needs a new armrest, leather for the front two seats, and new rotors for the front. If the leather gets fixed, then hopefully the wires for the heated seats can be fixed as well. However, should I do anything to the car after that. I know the car has potential, but it seems that it is a pain in the ass to work with. I love the car, but for some reason it just doesn't seem as well built as a Honda/Acura should be.

So should I get to modding this car, or would I be better off trying out another car? I would love to get a prokit for the car, and I would be keeping the stock rims because I really like the 98 wheels, but you can still feel the tranny shift a little even after a partial fluid flush (they wanted to hold off on a full flush because they found particles of metal inside the fluid). Would this be a problem in the future? I mean, the Cl with a drop and a WW front lip and rear lip would look very classy, but I don't want to invest in something that may be broken in the future.

Any suggestions?

peace

All depends how deep you are into it Loan ect..If its not worth gettin rid (loosing money by paying off the loan)of it keep it if its that much of a burden and gets worse and worse get rid of it.

Keep in mind there is not alot of mods for it...but if you do mod it you wont look like every other civic with rims and a kit

There are some people *cough* *cough* that decided they didn't want the CL anymore, sold all the mods and then at the last moment decided to keep it because they wouldn't part with it. I would say CL is one of the nicer less know cars. Plus is not too many have it say that there be one on every block, but because of that and poor modding audience, there isn't a lot of mods to the car so everything would have to be custom and that means lots of $$.

Why do you all say there are not a lot of things to do to our cars? Thats rediculous. Just because there are no body kits or altezza made for our cars doesn't mean there arn't mods to do. Rotors, lots of engine mods are availible (or swap), rims, stereo equipment, lambos, cf hoods, headers, exhausts, mufflers, suspension, etc etc. You can put LOTS of money into a CL, just ask some of the people who have done so.
