do people compliment your car?

i was looking in the TL side and there was a recent thread (nov 07-present) about how all the TL guys get compliments all the time. i've only ever received 1 compliment on my car .. but then again, my exterior is bone stock except for a trunk lip spoiler..

i'd assume the guys with the kits are doing well though (TL KIT )


but.. what about the rest of you guys!

I got a compliment on my SMR CL-S 6MT just last week. It was a guy in his 70's (I think) who was staring at it when I came out of the store. He had never seen a CL before.

He was driving a 86 VW cabriolet wolfsburg edition that was in incredible condition. I asked him how many miles he had on it........................ 325K

My neighbor who is in her retirement years compliments my car on a regular basis.
Last time she said that girls like me not because of my car though. Maybe I should stop pouring money into it.

I got a compliment when I had the oil changed @ the dealer. They said for being 8 year old car everything still in good shape interior/exterior wise It's a good thing I guess since I've never waxed the car, just regular wash and use meguair products for the interior

Got compliments from 2 generations, a guy in his 50's asked "What kind of car is this?" I replied "It's an Acura" He said "This is a real nice car!" Sometime later, a girl in her teens yelled "Nice car!" as I drove by Sometimes it pays to keep your car clean........

Not really a compliment, but a lot of people that see my car are very surprised to see that it's a 6spd.

i get more looks than actual compliments... but there have been a few people who've come up to me and said hi. Mostly older (meaning mid 30's and higher) ladies believe it or not... not good looking ones either.

I get a decent amount of "nice car" comments. I've noticed it happens a LOT more since I dropped it.

I get it from time to time. Although I do get a lot of people surprised that it's a six speed. They also always underestimate the power of it.

Just the other day the guy who installed my car said he really liked the car. However, that just made me suspicious he took it for a bit of a joy ride...

I'm sure with a bit of tint, spoiler, rims and lowered one would garner a lot more compliments. (I'm bone stock at the moment)

i get some compliments from time to time, a lot of highschoolers who appreciate the clean look and the grown man thing goin on, and alot of honda drivers/enthusiasts. And as for people underestimating our cars, i love it, i think its one of the biggest sleepers out there.

Like (ERNIE01ACURA) I too get compliments all the time (no exaggeration) I believe it is because of the color (PDG) which is a definite eye catcher ( hate it or love it!!). When stopped at a light or while moving..I see people lookin all the time (big confidence boost). I occasionally get a head nod or thumbs up from folks (especially at gas stations when its gleaming, clean and the light hits just right! If you couldn't tell i love my car...LOL

Anyways living in socal, there isn't that many 2nd gen CL's here. At least what I have seen

I got props on my exhaust twice (RT Cat and Magnaflows), both after deaths from an M6 and a modded Mustang GT. I get looks and props all the time though. One time this guy at the gas station came over talking about how he was going to get a CL and asked what mods I had, I saw the same guy on the eway a couple months later and he flagged me down and yelled out the window to say he remembered my car

I get compliments all the time. Especially with how it sounds. My friends dad just talked about it yesterday as a matter of fact, sayin' that it was really nice and askin' how much I paid etc.

And mine even has a crack in the front bumper and she still looks good.

I get compliments about my CL from men and women alike all of the time. She is a damned fine looking whip if I do say so myself.

I've received several compliments on the color (everyone loves ABP!), but most people don't even know what kind of car it is in the first place. I've gotten a few "I like your Acura, what model is that?"

I had a kid ask me if it was a 6 speed. He was driving a mid 90's Celica but he definitely knew what he was looking at.
