FINALLY got some NEW PICS!!!

Well, since my last set of pics I got a new set of rims/tires (sold last set to CLUofI), had my painted-on pinstripe removed, installed a sub & amp, new badging on trunk, got my a-cl static stickers from hougee, and put on 2 coats of Zaino.....let me know what you think








...and there's a couple more if you click my www button

Jamie,

As the young-uns say: "It's Tits"!

Looks fantastic. I really like the rims!

BTW: That rear badging looks familiar.

I'm lovin your car....The only thing that i would change is your pedals...Not that they look bad...its just like they dont really belong there. That is probably one of the cleanest first gens i've seen. It looks like it could be the model first gen for acura.

Thanks Rick, I really like the rims too except for the 8 holes...but they just don't make this style for us in a 4 bolt, I don't even think the similar SSR's have a 4 hole rim.
You can't really tell from the pics, but the rims have a nice metallic paint that really shines in the sun.

And thank you Rick for the inspiration on the badging...I kept the same "A" cause it wasn't worth replacing with a new one but the "3.0" is brand spankin' new along with the A-C-U-R-A.

Thanks Casper, but that's as low as this bad boy is gonna get
Might not be able to tell from the pics but my Eibachs have settled to about a tight 2 finger gap on the rears and about a 3 finger gap up front...that's all I really need.

In fact, the more my rears have settled the more noise I'm getting from the rear

Thank you Rippin
At one time I was trying to get a little more chrome in the interior so they would match a little better, but there just wasn't much out there to add.

I'm pretty much done spending $$$ on the car for now unless needed - i.e. Brembos, new muffler.....if any of that stuff goes out then I will upgrade whatever needs replaced.

I just got laid off 2 weeks ago tomorrow without any notice and all my money is staying in the bank until I find something else.

So I'm enjoying my little "vacation" for now and am trying to be consevative with my spending

looks hella tight but what up on the ww front air dam that would complete the super clean and sexy look. with the 98 you already got the painted side skirts and rear valance. It would be cheap and easy.

Thanks guys, and I do agree that the WW lip would be a nice addition.
I wasn't all that crazy about the lip when I first saw it and never seriously thought about adding it to my CL until recently after seeing a lot of you guys with it lately.
I've really grown to like it and think it would be a nice finishing touch for a modest modder like me

Mine are from www.autodynamic.com but you can probably get a sett on ebay cheaper. And Nugs, I'm not a big fan of tint anymore, so that's one of those things I hven't even thought of getting...maybe if it was 90 here all the time I would.
