I talked with my friends over at Henshinauto.com today, located here in Jacksonville, FL. we were talking about kits and that there is not really anything out there for the CL. Henshinauto makes some of their own custom kits including the Buddy Club 2. this kit is very nice and has good body lines. anyway, take a look at the pics of this kit on this cars...

full website http://buddyclub2.com/





this kit can be custom made for the 01-03 3.2 cls 2dr in a very short period of time. my car would probable be used to make sure everything fits right.

with small deposits from 20 people, this will be possible. cost on this kit will be in the hood of around $800-$900.
just email me for more info or IM me at clstypefast on AIM


let me know what acl thinks. if you have other ideas, post them because with 20 deposits, there will be a new kit for the cl.

 

A little to aggressive for our cars. They look like good quality, but those styles really seem best suited for the sport compact crowd, not our near luxury coupes. Tell them to make a SEMA replica kit and they will make a fortune.

 

more and double

 

i only like the front bumper only one thing wrong with the front bumper those two hole..but i rather have the buddy club 1 back bumper...this kit looks to ricer...

 

you should try to make some fenders.. or a wide body kit<< and if possible try to keep it simple

 

i will talk to them about the sema kit, and ofcourse there would be two exhaust openings.

this post is for opinions on the kit. i would also love to have the sema kit.

 

wide body kit and simple can't exactly be used in the same sentence. And definitely not for that price range.

 

SEMA kit or another lip kit. Anything else is too for the CL.

 

there is a 1st gen in town that is currently modifing this kit to fit. should be done soon and i will have the pics..

 

cool*

 

yeah a shop near my housr abt 35 mins away does custom body kits, you can pick out any body kit you want and he will custom mold it to the car, he asked me if i wanted to do it, but i'm not into the whole body kit thing i like the look of my CL

 

we need somethin more subtle for our cars

 

And I could use a new front bumper (scratched), side skirts (slightly scratched and cracked inside), and rear bumper (small dent from an annonymus a-hole)

Debating on if I should get the OEM parts repaired or go aftermarket.

 

im interested in this. but id really like an idea of what it would look like. so could somebody photoshop it?

 

SEMA Kit!!! I love that thing. Get someone to make that! I'll invest in it.

 

every thread about kits mentions the SEMA... why doesnt anyone make a replica of that?!?! Doenst anyone get it? That's what everyone wants!!

 

Because back in Dec 2002, Onderground-designs tried to make it. They asked for a $100 investment from 10 people on this forum. And even with all the bitchin about wanting the SEMA kit for the CL, they only got about 5 people to put up $100.

Too bad I wasn't around back then, because I would of put up the other $500 to cover the rest of the investment needed.

 

The people on this site for the most part are all talk...and no action! They will always find something to whine about, I just do not get it. They bitch that there are no kits, but when people try to organize a kit no one likes it. Here is an idea...tell the people making the kit what you want and maybe they will make it, then you can stop whinning and buy the dam thing.

Sorry rant concluded...

 

mr steve

buy the tl kit and have it molded to your car!!!

 

Maybe the reason nobody invested in the Onderground design one is because no one actually believed that this company would deliver on it .. and they didnt want to lose their money. NOT to mention the kit was going to be made of FIBERGLASS. NO ONE WANTS FIBERGLASS. urethane please. This is understandable. I dont think I would've done it either. Doesnt mean that if the SEMA kit was in production and was for sale, that I wouldnt jump right on it. I would be one of the first few in line.

If a reputable company that people felt could really make an exact replica out of quality material was to come to the plate and start taking deposits, I assure you the line would be long with myself included.

 

this kit looks good minus those 2 holes....fill those two holes in and im sold ( oh and urethane is preferred of course )

 

those two holes i believe are there so you can add aftermarket fog lights,

they could easily be filled in with bondo and smoothed over....

but the kits are a little too aggresive for the CL.

whatever kit they come out with has to be sleek and smooth flowing but still look mean.

 

thanks for the input, noOb.

 

very well put It has to be a very CLEAN looking kit that matches the conture body style of the CLS! I spent 30k on my CLS I dont want to put a bodykit that makes it a 10k civic! Lets see if this company can create a similiar sema kit, keep us posted!

 

Considering it, although that means $$$ and down time. I'm worried enough as it is already with the springs on that i'll scrape on driveways. If it was a full bumper replacement (ala SEMA kit) that didn't make it sit much lower I would be all over it.

We shall see. I'm more focused on making it even faster first

 

Umm I am not sure I follow you...but then again who cares. I was trying to make a point and you obvisouly missed it. BTW thanks for making my point!

 

You should probably read a little more before posting. They HAD the deposit taken care of, which was refunded. Soopa or someone had the funds in hand. There were several threads about this, so it was easy to miss.

Regardless, the Versus kit was discovered and was 10X cheaper for a urethane kit, much better than fiberglass and ALREADY made. Alot easier to get people to pony-up $$$ when they can SEE the finished product...bit different than possibly throwing your money away on a one-off. Not unlike the Sarona spoiler that they said would be an exact SEMA replica...fine joke that turned out to be. There's even a current thread about that you can read also.

And, FWIW, there will always be talkers on these sites saying they are down to pay & don't. That's the nature of these boards. BUT...I personally sold 15 Versus kits on 2 Acura sites inside of 8 months, and there was a group-buy for the other 10 kits with other members here participating. Just have to have the right price & the right product for broad participation.

 

I thought we had this discussion...

 

I'd like to know how, in only three mear months of being a member, you can come up with such a grossly generalized negative statement.

Specifically, show me in the last three months where there's been any thread about a group buy where you've witnessed this 'whining, bitching, etc'.

Please enlighten us, as I'm certainly sure others are just as eagerly anticipating your quick response.

 

oh.. Now you got Frenchie pissed off...

have fun trying to round up 20 people....

 

Nothing crazy Smitty. Who are you my father? :squinteek:

 

riiight.. I seen that price quote for the Supercharger come across my desk.... :captainobvious: :gheyfight:

 

No chance I supercharge a car with 70k miles on it.

Although my dealership has said they would have no problem building a 3.5 block for me....

 

Just showin' the n00b some lovin...

 

Well...if you're gonna rebuild anyhow for the 3.5, you might as well go S/C too...

It's only money...

 

This dipshit gave me Negative Rep points......

 

cock and balls

 

your stay is coming to an end quickly

 

 

Ross...does look like they do good work though...that kit on the integra is pretty hot.
