That's how you bought it ?
Sweet,what are you gonna do with it now?
Looks like you got a good jump on the mods with out spending extra $$$ and without bust'n up a few knuckles.
Modded like that I would have to say that previous owner must have be on AZine one time or another.

old owner is/was mad cool. made a deal with him if i ever supercharge it he can drive it. thats down a bit though.

first thing im going to do is small cosmetics. tint windows 35% smoke tail lights.

debating on smoking the headlights or tinting them yellow and grabbing yellow fog lights as well.

Nice pick up. It looks like it can use a good polish, but the kit looks nice.

I also kinda like the wheels. Maybe its just the lip.

Hey guys i can vouch for this lucky young man for i am the ex owner of this magnificent acura cl type s 6 speed. Im still depressed but i moved on from the Acura universe to my next project which is my e46 m3 and believe me im going in hard. I bought my m3 and decided to sell my modified 04 Tl and my show Acura cl to sponsor my m3 build, it make no sense to have 3 cars in NY!!!!!! I believe these rims look really good on the car he just needs to drop it more then they come alive. I learned alot from this website but at the end if you dont have swag then you just build a rice rocket, like most cars in the street. This car has only high end parts i agree on the black interior it would make the car look sick.

Mods suspension.

Tein super street
ingalls camber kits
suspension techniques front and rear swaybars
crossdrilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads
18inch axis wheels with bfgoodrich

Exterior:

Ron jons underbody lip kit
factory spoiler

Performance:
act clutch and lightweight flywheel
port and polished manifold, intake runners and throttle body
aem cold air intake
p2r throttle body spacer with thermo gaskets and intake manifold gasket
unorthodox stock 3 piece pulley kit
comptech headers
magnaflow highflow catalytic
tanabe catback
dyno tuned
short shifter

System:

pioneer dvd/navi with hard drive
stock bose surround sound
kicker zx2500.1 mono amp
2008 kicker 12l7 solobarics
battery cap

Guys show him love and guide him towards the supercharger!!!!!!!!!!

It just needs to be slammed then you'll see the rims come alive. Wax i agree, ron jon lip kit looks better when slammed.

Welcome. Nice choice! Car looks good. You got lucky to find a car like that with so many quality mods already on the car. I wonder what the purchase price was?

I was just over in the CT regional section, saw you posting. Seems like were in the same area. You mentioned you go to Uconn in Stamford... I live in Stamford so it's only a matter of time till we bump into each other.

I would love to see the car and compare mods and also hear how that exhaust sounds. If your down for a photoshoot I got some cool spots to go and a buddy with a great camera. When you hit 30 posts you can private message other members btw.

ctually everyone i asked regarding the clutch said i should go with stock it has an act clutch with comptech flywheel about 3,000 miles no issues the set up grips amazingly and puts the power down to perfection car is very fast the only way you can learn is through trial and error only cause it worked for me doesnt mean it will work for you

The condition of the interior is 8/10 even for its age. The only thing is the edges on the door panels and dashboard bending out of shape a little bit which is a common problem with all of our cars. There is a DIY to fix it also.
The car has never been smoked in. leather seats are in excellent condition and even smell great.

it'll include everything listed.
  • all seats (all motors work perfectly fine)
  • dashboard (no airbag) including all the panels that go with it
  • door panels plus the moldings
  • inner quarter panels
  • all pillars
  • seat belts
  • center console
  • carpet
  • rear deck
  • headliner
  • sunroof liner plus the molding
  • i'll also include a steering wheel (no airbag)
  • front floor mats (dont have rear)

All this for 900 which is a steal.

I have airbags, but they'd be extra. I'll have to find out prices for them.
You can also resell your old interior and recover most of the money.

No shipping though. if you decide to buy it, you'll have to come here and i can also help you install it.

some random pictures that i could get together

The only two interior pictures I have of my CL
