How's everyone doing? Just wanted to say hello for my first post and look forward to educating myself on our car and what mods would be the best for me.

My car is a 01 CL type S, on it's second transmission (no problems yet), and I'm the second owner. I want to fix it up a little cosmetically like PDR, refurbish my rims, and tints. Then go in and do some mods.

Thanks for looking.

Paint looks really fresh...very nice! Another GTA member is good. Any questions don't hesitate to ask. Are you going to do performance mods or cosmetic? or both?

Wes_R

Cosmetic wise I'm thinking about blacking out the chrome, some ronjon or bbs rims and getting the stock spoiler we'll see nothing too crazy, but mostly performance mods. Thanks for all the comments on the paint, I two step polished it which took me about 10 hours so it's really nice to see the comments.

The woodbine meet was just last saturday. Only 3 cl's there. Me, TypeStylin, and PaiGow or something like that. It was a little weak. We should set something up.

Wes_R

Only 3 CL's, ouch!!! Would definitely love to be part of a CL GTA meet, Sundays are mostly my free days.

piro91

Id make it out..

I thought the woodbine meet was on the long weekend the whole time otherwise I would have shown up with another CL.

Next time.

Anyway, nice clean CL Wes_R, enjoy it!

pai_gow

Welcome Wes_R, it's good to see more GTA CL owners.

Hey another 01 CL-S from 1.5 east of toronto, i very seldom(hardly ever) see cl's. i think a meet should be organized, wouldnt mind seeing a who slew of em.

Benb18a

Welcome to the forum. Nice NBP CL-S

Wes_R

Thanks for the comments and nice to meet you guys.

I guess so far it's only me and you in the east end. I agree a whole bunch of CLs would be great. I would definitely have to bring my camera for that. Can we make the meet official then?

If someone picks a date i'm in....a sunday a few weeks from now would be good. I have some headers on the way and rims too.......so i'd like to have them on if we meet up....June 22? I'm going away for a few weeks after that.

artec

gnuts, seeing as your getting new rims, if you were thinking about getting rid of your stock rims, ill buy them, seeing as they are the sexy 03 cl-s rims.

gnuts

Well One rims has some decent rash on it. Another one a little bit, the other two are really good. Tires have lots of tread. Not sure if you'd still want them. I can pm you some pics if you want. I was looking to get snow tires anyways, so i wouldn't have any use for the stockies.

artec

well if you could only see my rims, all 4 of them are brutal, so anything is better.
yes, please do so, and as far as the tires, make and model ?
thanks in advance

Nice shape..missing two doors but what the hell.

Wes_R

LOL , What's up.

June 22 sounds good, even the 15th. What do you guys think?

Wes_R

Anyone? Are we gonna make it official with a thread in the Club & Meets section?

gnuts

iTrader: (1)

Sure lets do it. Get these GTA CL-ers off their aces! come on out!

Hey WES-R, I was wonder what you have been using on your paint? To keep it so nice and all!

And Welcome

TypeStylinOnU

dude dude dude, i just noticed did u paint the engine cover? it wasnt silver when i seen your car was it?!

Wes_R

Thanks for the nice comment.

I polished it using a rotory polisher (a makita 9227), Meguiars foam pads, and a medium compound (Meguairs #83). I then finished with a dual action polisher (porter cable 7424) because of the soft paint it's hard to finish without leaving buffer trails and a finishing polish (Menzerna PO106FF). Then finally wax.

To be honest my friend if you want your paint to look fresh I suggest researching on the internet about polishing first before you do it or get a professional detailer to do it but ask to see some of their work first. I would be more then happy to do it for you if your in the GTA area.

I think I'm gonna do a write up about my whole detailing process so you guys can see it from beginning to end. I really appreciate all the comments I've been getting on my paint.

Ya i painted the whole cover to match the car. Came out pretty good. Dressed it up a bit. And i debadged the 3.2CL-S off the back.

TL-Super

Just jealous.

Hey Gnuts, does your license plate say 'Juuunz' by chance?
