i realize that cloe is spelled CHloe instead of CLoe but i really like that name so i changed it.

but anyway i think the most recent things that ive done to her was put the rims back on, i got meagan headers, and i got my front end repainted because of all the rock chips. i shouldve just have them done the whole car cause the passenger side door has hella door dings that arent noticeable when you look straight on but are noticable when you are at an angel. but its okay i guess. and i have this scratch thats about 2 inches which i can buff out but am kinda broke right now. hahah. the list of my other mods are in my signature.

im still working on my projector headlights via chris's instructions and i dont plan on getting lips or anything cause i want my car to look simple i suppose. my cousin is building my carputer and im saving to get that pioneer double din dvd deck.

any suggestions please shoot them my way. mabuhay

Hell yeah! +1 for green CLers! Very nice.

Me wants ur rims! What are they?

I was going to say debadge, but since you don't want a spoiler, debadging would look a little plain.
Blackhouse the headlights when you do your projectors for sure! It would match the rims and grill very nicely.

Germ

thanks man.

um my rims are BSA rims? i really dont know what that is but i bought them off of a friend for like 4 hundred bucks. theyre 17s but they look okay with that polished lip thing.

i was going to debadge but im too scared that i would scratch the paint or whatever.

headlights are going to be painted black. im just really busy at work so i havent had the time.

ill post some night pics later on when i get off of work. i have to get my car realigned today too

Hmm.. BSA rims, gotta check that out.

Scratching your paint is the least of your worries. Debadging is really strange. It either comes out perfect or ugly. (paint fade, ghosting etc.) I don't know how but I have a paint crack outline around the ACURA and 3.0 CL.

I hear ya about not having enough time. I bought the paint and sealant last month and still haven't been able to blackhouse.

Looks great man, can't wait to see it with the projs

Germ

thanks chris. yeah i cant either. hahah.

yah i dont worry about the badges. i just try to keep them as shiney as possible. i hate cleaning my car cause im really obsessive (sp?). everytime i park i have to polish the body and rims. to make sure when my car sits there its fresh. my girlfriend hates driving it cause people always look at her and they always want to try to race. not to mention its loud. haha

Woa! Just noticed, aren't those the same rims (BSA as you mentioned) as kelpto's?
I always loved kelpto's rims but never thought they looked good on a green CL till I saw Germ's.

Germ

i dont think so. i think his spokes are a bit thinner

Hey Germ.. Do you have any pics of the ps2 in the glovebox? Do you have it hardwired into your car or not?

I'd love to see how that looks.. Oh yeah, The car looks great too.. A spoiler would really set it off.. Keep it up though..

DaInFaMMuS1

looks nice! My 1st CL was named CLoe also lol.

Germ

aww crap i just deleted those pics. but yeah i can take some more tomorrow or something. ill have them up. well i have the ps2 plugged into a power inverter thats hidden somewhere. i dont remember where i put it. hahha. and the power inverter is the thing thats hard wired into the car.

XxAtTheGatesxX

I like the combination of black wheels and a green CL. That'll look sexy when you get blackhoused projectors though...

Germ

ive been wanting to paint my car but its relaly expensive

Dicorp

that car is green? i could have sworn its black in extreme daylight. looks good otherwise, better pics ftw

XxAtTheGatesxX

^Look at the first or third picture. Or for that matter, the fifth or the sixth. Hell even the second.

Germ

huh my car isnt that dark. i mean its a stock CL color but i get people all the time asking me "yo wered you get yer paint job" "is that shit pearl?". wierd.

GianJ30a

abouelmm

i thought the same thing, i dont like the cl green at all, the rims are nice tho

Germ

dude that thing is garbage. i dont know why i grabbed that. i was getting rid of my sega genesis and my boy was all "dude ill trade you for this" it took me a billion hours to put it on and its crap. but i left it on cause i didnt want to take it off. and now i have a crappy product on my car and i cant play altered beast.

oh and thats what i was wondering about the back being lower than the front. i have hella stuff in the trunk so thats prolly why.

Sounds Sick.. You have monitors too? I have a d2 and I want to get some type of entertainment for my passengers.. other that my soon to be sexy CL.. But, Cloe is a nice ass name for this car.. I never put it together. CLoe.. Ha..

Can't wait to see those pics.. I'm trying to get my ps2 in my glove box asap.

swiftt5389

you say you want to keep your car simple butttt you have moniters in your headrests and a ps2 in ur glovebox. God knows whats in the trunk. lol. Im just messin but it looks clean

Germ

ah thats the thing my friend. i want it to look simple on the outside but everything goes on the inside. hahaha.

you wanna know whats in the trunk? hmmm well other than 2 12 inch jls sitting in a box thats like 40 to 50 pounds, my 1000 watt amp and my changer...i have jumper cables, my girlfriends high heels, some work papers, an umbrella, winter gloves, and a james blunt cd. hahah.


thank you very much. for the comps. im going to do one more BIG upgrade and then im done. and by big i mean atleast over 1000. after that, cloe is going to be in the garage the whole time. hahahaha. well ill drive her all summer and then stick her in the garage and drive my dad's van

swiftt5389

lol. that is a good idea though. Looks like slightly normal car onn the oustide but inside BAM. and shit my gf wants to drive my car constantly. She drive more than me now! lmao. not really.. but seriously. Yea maybe its the leather seats? haha

Germ

iTrader: (1)

not bad at all.

Germ

actually to tell y ou the truth i didnt really like them when i first saw them. but my boy needed the money and he spent a pretty penny on them rims. and he originally wanted to sell them to me for more but i talked him down to 4 bills. cant pass that up especially since the tires were brand new

def a good deal

Germ

holy moly. just looking at the earlier pics in this thread..man...time flies....

anyway...so since the first pics ive gone through a lil bit. 3 different car colors, klepto's lip kit, etc etc...heres what my car looks like now..












my plans in the upcoming month.
-get my rims powder coated black
-get all the chips and cracks spot painted (cause i hella cant afford a whole new paint job), my driver side side skirt is hella cracked...the dude did a horrible job putting it on to my car. so i gotta get that redone. gotta repaint my roof
-im getting new subs tomorrow and since i dont have a spare tire i dont have nuttin holdin up the carpet. so before i put in my new subs i gotta take out my old ones (heavy as hell), go grab me some wood to support the carpet (any suggestions would be awesome) and then throw my new subs in. thank god the high schools have a week off (i work at a high school here in san jose) so i have the whole day to work on it tomorrow.
-hid high beams 3000k color
-redo all the lighting in my car


planning to do within the year.
-so one of the older guys that used to go on this board (actually one of the real close homies now) was tellin me i could do a 3.2 engine swap (straight drop) with the 6 speed tranny. now im hella game for that. and im not an engine guy what so ever so i hella dont know sh*t about it. maybe one of you guys can shed some light...i was originally just trying to do the same engine just with lower miles. but a 3.2 6 speed sounds koo. if its in the price range. i guess what im asking is just generally how much would this run me. engine tranny labor. all the technical stuff i can try to find on the boards.

-i REALLY should get my driver seat head rest reconnected. cant floss the headrests if only one of them works. actually i cant floss them anyway..haha..i got limo tint.

-a few years back i had bought a leather redye kit. havent had the chance to do it....hopefully this summer when my leather can get the proper heat

-SUSPENSION...holy moly i needa get that redone for sure. so i see that a lot of you go wit the main ones for our car. im probably gonna end up with ksports. i wanted to do the air suspension but this is my daily driver. any of you know how the ride is on those?..

thats it. i think....

any feed back would be GREATLY appreciated. some of you might be thinking DUDE FOR ALL THAT MONEY YOU CAN GET A NEW CAR...yeah i know...but i love our CLs. and yeah im almost 34 and should probably get a car thats more for folks my age but hey..lol..im not the only one on the boards in their 30s still rockin a first gen. hahahah...

Germ

damn 2008 is when i posted those pics...holy moly..

Germ

lol one of my students like last week was like "ay kuya you use HELLA A LOT". i never really noticed..hahahah...i think i was talking to the mayor of sj one time at like a meeting or something and i musta caught myself using that word atleast once or twice. hahah..

"EWOKONE"

Good stuff bro :thumsup:

Germ

thank you very much kind sir....

okay so im having a dilemma. since everyone is on different coilovers and doesnt really seem like anyone leans towards any specific (although it seems like a tiny bit of you like ksports)...i need an opinion....since air suspension is WAY out of my price range ive narrowed my choice down to these two...

or

i like the price of the second one and i saw that some of you are already on them and liking them...but i also saw that some of you are on the first ones and not really finding any complaints....

its been a while since ive done anything real big to my car and as i said previously in one of my other posts im still sittin on that old school eibach pro kit. hahhaha.....i hope i got the right year honda accord coil overs for the second link....input would be koo..thanks in advance...

why don't you look at Tein Basics. We don't have a young back anymore to run on hard setups.

Germ

i was thinking about those too...but ive read you need to do something special to the front to make them fit?...

tell me about it brotha. i woke up this morning and i swear all my joints was killin me...maybe i need to take vitamins or something
