So I got a LOT of stuff done to my car, and had a meet with a few guys from the forum. We were expecting 12-15 cars, and ended up with 5, but we made the best of it and had a good time. More pics of the meet can be found here, I will post most of my meet pics there, this thread is more centered on my car.



































Interior CF, CL-S Steering Wheel Swap, Cocoa's Airbage, and Double Din Pioneer


I have some more professional pics from Mattastick's boy, but I need to get permission before i post them, these are ones that AtTheGates and I took, hope you enjoyed

 

looks great!! but you guys gotta get out from unda tha trees for some better pics!

 

We liked the backdrop, unfortunately it was cloudy and overcast and started raining on us. The glare was kind of annoying and made a lot of pics blurry, also made it hard to get good shots of my projectors. Is this any better?

 

Definitely love the new additions , its an inspiration!

 

what kinda installation kit is that for your radio?

 

mmm carbon fiber...

 

nice pics! who's cl is that with the amber corners?

 

 

isnt it southerjerseys?

 

Obligatory "you need a drop" comment.

But otherwise, looking very nice. I especially love your engine bay

 

97 accord double din ebay dash kit needed some modification

Thanks man, it's mitch14, he came down from Winnipeg and met up with us

No, it's mitch14

it's dropped just not as low as Mitch's, but his car is pretty much dragging frame

 

Maybe it's just seeing yours next to the slammed CL

 

ohh my bad its mattasticks? right?

 

Mattastick has ambers and is 4x4 with projectors, mitch14's has ambers, and is slammed with the roof rack

 

Yeah, I kept saying that at the meet, my 2 or so inch drop looked like nothing compared to his car, his car was literally an inch off the ground, I don't think he could fit the toe of his shoe under his car



I'm planning to slam the car more, had to put the 18's on to see how much i needed to lower, going to lower at least 1/2-3/4 of an inch minimum

 

Car looks good Least there's a TL in there

 

another 3/4 to a full inch should do well for the additional drop

 

*does scrape frame on occasion
as if no one knows who has the slammed stock cl with the rack
and if you think that is low, just got the header installed, it's hanging an inch to an inch and a half too low where it connects up to the cat it's gonna get fucked.
don't worry, next time i won't be there, so you can compare to Matt's

but it's looking good Chris, the engine and interior look soo clean, i love the attention to detail there.
But rims and overall exterior i'm not really feeling it just IMO though
keep her coming, i know it's a never ending project for you

 

So clean I'd eat off of it with a fork!

 

Thanks fellas, Mitch, glad you like the interior/engine bay detail, that's where I spend most of my effort. My exterior style is my own, but I like it

 

Couple more random pics







Beads on the cf hood

 

shots are looking nice along with all the nice whips! what rims do you have? and what tire size are you running? i think you definitely need to slam it some more!

 

cool just saw this today.

 

wow winnipeg to Ohio? what a haul.

cars look great guys.

 

Nice photos. Weird seeing 1st gen CL's outnumbering 3rd gen TL's at an Acura meet. It's usually the other way around.

 

acurazine meets are usually TL meets.

 

hmm, cl's

mitch your car looks a lot like mine atm..... but i have rims...

chris you need to fix your rear lip it's not aligned right or is that how it is

 

i was thinking the same thing. nice shots

 

It's off a little bit because of the point on the trunk, it wasn't meant to go on a CL. Needs a bit more work, but it looks damn good as is, just needs fixed up a bit to sit more flush.

 

Nice pics. For the rear lip, if you pull the area right below the tail light up... the end of the rear lip at the wheel well will point down more. Just so it looks a little more aligned with the bumper etc.

 

SLAM IT SLAM IT SLAMMMMMM IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats all i got to say

 

Those black CL's look great - so nostalgic for me. Reminds me of my black CL from back in the day

 

Holy shit, good to see you're still around man, had I known I would have invited you, the TL we had drove up from CBus

 

Yeah man, back from the dead. I've been pretty active on here for the last month or two, after a 5-6 year hiatus. You want to experience cringe worthy embarrassment, post on a forum as a kid and come back after you get a degree and start a career...then read your old posts. :shakehead

But yeah, give me a shout when you guys do a meet up next!

 

BTW, where is this in Youngstown? Looks like a great place to go to check out the trees this fall with my fiancee.

 

Poland Village Park right off of 224 and 170 in Boardman. If you follow College Lane past the middle school, you come right up to where we were.

 

what rear lip is that? Thats the next thing I need to purchase after I get the spoiler and front lip installed. I like the way that one looks aligned up with the factory side skirts and ww front lip

 

nice pics broski, and nice little turnout

 

yeah, roadtrip with my sis, went to chicago, then cedar park in ohio etc...
put about 5000kms (3100 miles) on the cl in a week, and i did all the driving
two things went wrong on the car, the amber got knocked out, and a wheel bearing went bad, probably from all the heat of driving all day

i'm glad that i don't have rims right now, this way the sidewalls can absorb some of the impacts that happen.
if i had rims and smaller profile tires, i probably would have bent one rim in chicago, and one rim in Indiana


Chris, let me know if you guys ever want to come up to Canada for a shoot
But in all seriousness, it would be sick to have a first gen mega meet
And i'd be down for another drive, just not really for 20 hours each way again, unless it was somewhere different

 

Whoa! Chris, you got rims!? Nice.
