2003 cl type s body kit hunt

Hi guys, I'm currently looking to lower and slightly wide body my 03 cl type s 6mt. I've been looking around and one kit really caught my eye on a show car Web site but I can't seem to find it anywhere on the web. Has anyone in here ever came across this bumper and fender flare kit before? It looks stunning but I can't find it no matter where I look, could it possibly be a one off? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Guess opinions differ because i love the way it looks, found out its a custom one off from a top secret G35 bumper mixed with a stock CL bumper. I emailed the guy from the site and he gave me the info on it.

There's too much going on with this kit? I'm guessing early 2000s coming back with a vengeance?

Pretty much, im trying to keep the style period accurate. The only thing i want from it is the front bumper and the wide body fenders, i dont plan on using the ricey looking rear bumper or skirts but i am trying to keep the early 2000s look. I might get something a bit more modern wide body wise on it but im not sure how lt'll look.

I remember in middle school flipping through magazines picking out body kits for my imaginary civic or prelude.

who's doing the body work? doing a wide body is time consuming and labor intensive. Are you really throwing that much money into a 13 yr old car?? Please tell me your CL isn't automatic because that makes it that much worse.

I've looked around for that kit too, just out of curiosity. I think it looks good too, especially the front and rear fender flares. I have an '03 CL-S 5AT so no way I'm gonna actually ever buy any body kit haha

But its nice to think of what couldve been. early 2000s ftw!

no. some have moulded the TL a-spec kit to the CL, but it involves cutting and filling etc.

Was gonna say don't think Ron Jon has any kits in stock and not enough interest to make more.

I have front and sides I might let go for right price.

Im interested in the front for sure and maybe the sides....all depending on how much you would be asking of course?......ive been lurking on these forums for awhile and iirc wasnt ur cls6 black because mine is also which would be a plus.

Despite what a lot of people said on this thread, I for one really like the aesthetic you went for. Front end and the rear fender flares looked great.

LOL these body kits were always funny to look at IRL. They weighed so much that they made cars accelerate like Volkswagen buses and vents in the front only exposed the bumper beam and a lot of open air; offering no performance benefit.
