First time photoshoot of my CL

The wheels have been holding air, so I dusted off the DSLR and took some photo's.

I don't know if it's flikr or AcuraZine, but one of them is shrinking the photos. Click on the images to view the high res versions.

This is the first "photoshoot". I've previously taken some random pictures of the tint and a few other small mods.

I live in NC. The cops never hassled me about the plates so I never changed them. I just recently got my NC license and the new plate is on the way.

^^^Apexi WS2 cat back. Doesn't fit all that well with the aftermarket header. It hangs really low in front of the rear tire and scrapes on just about anything other than a perfectly flat road.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments.

The fenders haven't been rolled and it still looks alright. After removing some of the camber, I have about 1mm clearance between the tire and fender lip. If I decide to roll them, I can probably go with 0 degrees of camber with a 5mm spacer and hopefully it will be almost flush.

Thanks guys. I put a 10mm spacer on the front and the wheels are looking much better than in the pictures above.

lol, because I lost a center cap to a set of wheels that were sold exclusively in Japan and haven't been in production for over 10 years. I sent an email to the guy that imports used wheels. I'll just bite the bullet and pay the $400 for the caps. Maybe I can sell a couple of them on ebay.

No shiz. I would have just had custom ones machined out of 6061 billet for that kind of money! I do understand you wanting to use the ones that came with them though.

The brass or copper spring washer in the picture below was missing on the cap/plate that I lost. They only sent me 3 and I tried to keep it as tight as possible, but it would always loosen after a couple days. There's also a large plastic wrench that should have came with the wheels. It's used to tighten the caps, but of course that was missing too.

If my commute wasn't so far, I could have possibly found it on the side of the road. I drive 45 miles to work on the interstate so it could be anywhere.

Forgot to post up the interior. Only mods are '97 to 98/99 console swap, Pioneer AVIC F90BT, Infinity Reference front speakers and Kappa's in the rear deck and the newest mod is an air temp gauge in place of the clock.

Eventually I might do the 98/99 air bag swap so I can install the woodgrain MDX steering wheel.



One other mod that isn't in the pictures above is the NSX brakes and 11.1" slotted rotor upgrade.
