My '97 3.0 CL with 18's, Neuspeed Drop, Clear Corners

Here is my b*tch....it aint much to brag about but I love it.
Let me hear your opinions....good & bad.


My 1997 Acura 3.0 CL


Things to still do:
* Wings West Type-R Lip
* Paint side skrts/rear lip
* H.I.D Kit (contemplating this one)
*Light tint (dont know what % yet) any suggestions?
*(Probably will need a camber kit (I will find out once I do my alignment but im thinking I should wait til my springs settle a bit more)
* Upgrade my brakes (too much damn brake dust now, dirties my rims too quickly)

Thanks AcUrALiTy,
I'm actually in the process of trying to setup a groupbuy for the
WW Lip. That is definitely the next mod.

The ride is good, I wouldn't say great, but definitely good.
I haven't had time to adjust my settings on the shocks so I might be able to make the ride slightly better.

speedjunkie, you got the same problem as me on the rear of the cl(we both have black cl's). I debadged the "acura" and "2.2cl" emblems off the back and at first it was still big outline off all the letters, im like ohh shit. So i use goof off and scratch removed and it faded it out but i still have acura and 2.2cl noticable up close the outline of the letters. I realized its all SCRATCHS like little tiny scratchs but looks like shit. is urs the same way? anyone know what i can do

Update:
A moron hit my car with his van friday night....f*cked up my left rear quarter panel , broke my taillight, and part of my rear bumper. My gas tank cover doesnt even open now.
ARGHHHH....moron started backing up and somehow didnt notice i was behind and to the right of him.
now i have to get that repaired (at his expense of course).

Did you do yur springs and shocks at the same time? If you didn't I want to know if you where bouncing or bottoming out alot...

I've got the prokit but i'm not happy with the front being a little higher than the back. So I wanna try the neuspeed springs.

I did springs/shocks together, i do not bounce at all, but i do bottom out at times, stupid NYC potholes and bumps are a killer.

thanks

Does your car bounce a little with those springs?

I've heard the springs are a little bouncy,but im thinkin the people who say that dont have the aftermarket shocks.

The link didn't work, but I saw your CL through your www button!

Killer wheels!


Nice looking CL!
