I dunno Because I didnt dyno before and after. The dealership did it for free due to a recall; carbon buildup from a manufacturer defect.

Dunno man; everyone I know that have their windows tinted always get their car broken into. The area we live in is #1 in car thefts. Averaging 20 cars/day.

I dunno know about windows but i am gonna lower it again....
I've got Eibach but im goin lower with neuspeed.

I hate the front end being a 1/4" higher in the front...

i understand i didnt have my windows tinted for a long time but i got tired of everybody bein able to see in my car and me .

TINT MAKES THE CAR LOOK SO MUCH BETTER UNLESS U HAVE A CUSTOM INTERIOR

I dont think im gonna paint the exterior, so ill probably match the darker beige thats on the top half of the dash board. Tan and beige...

I wanted to customize the interior with aluminum. I was gonna do dash accents and the interior roof of the car with all aluminum sheeting. If i do that ill probably do a tan and silver 2 tone seats; silver center section and tan outer...

I'm trying something right now with my high beams, trying to mimick the JDM integra light setup. With yellow inner lights, ill post it when its done along with the interior neon shots probably this week!

I talked to a few places that sell Koni Yellows and its all good for the 4 cyl CL's but for the V6's they say the damper adjustments would be maxed out reducing the life of the shocks. I have a V6 there aren't too many options I can go with. I'm aware of almost all options and if I could, I agree I would DEFINITELY go with koni yellows.

I like the Magnaflow but I have nothing to really compare it to. There are not many CL's here that have a custom exaust. The sound is deep and loud. You can tune the sound, what I did was increased the stock 2" piping to 2.5" to make the sound deeper. I had the piping made without a resonator but the sound was way too loud for my taste, so I had them add a resonator. The resonators come in 3 different lengths I forgot the lengths I chose the one in between. I think the lengths are 12", 15", 22" dunno just guessin... So the longer the resonator the quieter the sound.

I'll post up pics when the weather is better its snowing like a MOFO up here. The bottom looks really dirty I'll get it cleaned up then I'll post up pics.
