I wait no more... I am now the proud owner of this car (see inside)

What a beauty... after waiting for several months, I now am the proud owner of a 2001 Acura CL Type S. I am very anxious to explore. Yall weren't kidding when you said these are fast cars. Specially compaired to my 99 honda accord. Here is my first pic- Pic of my new baby

What do yall think? Can anyone tell me the offical name of that color?

Its sittin on Prodrive gunmetal 18s and pirellis.
I don't think the owner knew this but I just found out that it has Tokiko Illumna adjustable shocks and eibach performance springs.

Has anyone formed a CL-S club that lives in the bay area of Cali? If so, hit me up.

Well, he may have but, I'm the 3rd owner. I think the dude I bought it from wasn't the person who installed the springs. He knew it was lowered (obviously) but I don't think he knows the value of eibachs. It was the owner of a (non-acura) dealership's car.

I think you need a spoiler before the 03 tails, but the drop and wheels look nice.

And btw Aegean Blue is the bomb. It changes in different color lights, and at sunset it looks absolutely beautiful.

That's E-gee-n. As in the Aegean sea between Greece and Turkey. Look into the M5 spoiler mod on our search function. Congrats on your purchase, lookin' good.

I am entirely in the same boat as you, Mr. Originator of this thread. Got me a sundance gold 01 CL type S not too long ago, and I'm loving that shit. Rock it.

IMO, a spoiler is the 1 thing this car is lacking. I'll be looking into the price of one soon. OEM or aftermarket... haven't decided.

Good lookin out on the .wav file... it was exactly what I needed. Now when I brag about the color (mostly to my bimmer buddies ) I'll actually be pronouncing the word correctly.

Congrats on your new ride... what a dope feeling ehh...
