so i wanted a car phone mount. FYI there are 2 main ones made for our cars, the panavise 75119-300, and the pro.fit AC-54-99 (pictured)



i didn't like how they mounted to the passenger side as it was slightly out of reach, and i didn't like the cost either ($35 for a piece of metal).


i made my own, which was essentially a reversed model of the pro.fit, adapted to the driver side.


i also had a phone mount that i used in the center vent, but i didn't like how it blocked the vent, so i took the bracket and mounted it.




the other addition is mainly for the winter, but i may leave it on until future notice. uses the existing splash guard holes and one extra custom bracket.








notice how close it is to the ground. no rocks/snow stuck on my car ever again

 

Nice! Great additions! What car were those mudflaps originally made for? It reminds me of a subaru.

 

I like the bronze look to the rims.

 

Nice work dude. I like seeing new things done to our car. That phone mount is a great idea. You didn't have to screw or glue it right? It's just wedged in there?
Also I was thinking about "winter only" mud flaps it just got cold in the tri-state and the side of my car is a mess. Those look beefy enough to stop anything from getting on the side of the car. Again what car did they come from?

Overall I like your car, especially the color, de-badge and the lip spoiler!

 

sort of.. like the pro.fit, it's screwed into a stock hole, using an existing screw, and it slips in between the silver trim.


mudflaps are entirely custom. bought the biggest NAPA mudflap available (24"x36" for semi trucks). painted the napa logo black, and cut it into 4 equal sized pieces. from there i spent quite a few hours lining it up and measuring it. the easiest way was to grab a level, pull both wheels off and just use 2 jacks, to simulate the suspension height (or else the angle would be off and it would look retarded).

i still need to fix the front because i wanted it higher to stop this ugly side effect of driving fast (the wind flows out from the front wheel well and over the whole side of the body). but since it doesn't actually reach the point at where the wind comes out, i'm just gonna lower it to stop the snow from sticking.

i was going for the rallyarmor look, which i think i did successfully at a much cheaper price ($35 for the mudflap, $5 for screws vs $100+ for the mudflap)

 

You need to lift the car up to complete the look. DO IT!!!!!

Dont forget the studded snow tires

 

Congrats, your CL now looks like a semi truck

 

lol when I saw the mudflaps only one thing came into my mind that my redneck friend from the military said to me every friday....










LETS GO MUDDIN!!!!!
