just take that shit all the way off it will be cheaper when you get it redone so they dont have to charge you to rip off the old one

I was looking @replacing the wheel with a brand new one a while ago... ive just been real lazy about it -_-.

I know it says maintainance required. I've talked to my mechanics several times and they just tell me to bring it in when the car is due (which is in about 850 miles - aka 2 weeks ~.)

I know I've gotta go in there and just clean hardcore. Im just a lazy shit about it.

I was told the color was Cyclone blue. if its not, I dont care - Cyclone blue sounds cool as hell. (until I paint it METALLIC BLACK/WHITE?

tell me about it. the damn things missing a horn button... kind of annoying, but oh well. I'll be changing it soon enough.

how the shit could you pop a horn button out? lol.

Anyways, i'll definitely let you guys all know when I get the pulleys in (but remember, ive also got all that other stuff in too, so I dont know how much that will add to the effect.)

I have basically the same setup as you except my header is ceramic and I have no exhaust yet. So it should give me a good idea if its worth it or not.

Looks like a freakin bear went after the wheel, and thought there was honey inside. Seriously though, fix your wheel man, looks like you tried to steal your own car. By the way, pit bulls love modded acuras!

actually, I got them 290 shipped from a guy on this forum named "Excelerate".

go fig.

Anyways, you can definitely feel the difference. It was funny when the mech was taking out the old one though... the new one is like half as small! you're gonna have to get new belts too. (was eventually gonna change em, 60k was coming right up.)

they're installed and look nice. I'll be taking pics later of em'. =]

Well, to be quite honest, I got it used and it was looking aloooooooot worse when I bought it.

If you read alot of my previous posts, I'll make references to "the asshole/asshat/ass who owned the car before me..."

It's got alot of rust everywhere inside because "the asshat who owned it before me" <--- probably lived up north or on the coast near salt water somewhere.

It's a work in progress, and it'll be one of the hottest CL's on this board when Im done w/it.

In the meantime, you got any photos of your CL?

Honestly, I still dont know how to use the damn thing. I can make CD's go in, the radio turn on, but thats about it.

Its sweet, dont get me wrong, and it has several options that you can use to maximize sound potential depending on what speakers you have, but Im still running on stock speakers in my car so it sounds kinda

Im pleased with it. Would I recommend it?

It's so colorful at night... lol.
