lisa... go to the "tuner's guide" portion of this site (up at the top of the site)
it'll show you all the mods that are pretty common for the CL, and several different springs you can use...

It's nice to have a lady on the forum. They are few and far between. Nice to see a lady that has good taste in cars. Definitely lower it, and it will look very sweet! Looks like mine.

Is it me or do the headlights look like they are tinted? They look pretty dark. Maybe since I have a black car it just isn't that noticable on my car.

Come on, I'm just kidding. Anyways, welcome to the boards Lisa and I really like the rims you've got. Your car will definitely look much better once you've lowered it. Go for the Comptech springs, I've got them and they're great.

well it depends what ur looking for exhaust-wise...if u want performance, then the echaust are not worth it...but if ur going for looks, alot of people get the comptech or hks dagger exhaust...they are both very good, although the daggers blend in w/.the profyle of a cl-s alot smoother/nicer...
Good luck w/ur car...its sweet 2 see a lady mod her car outt like that and still get the stick

I drive an 03 CL-S and the headlights didn't look so dark. In any case, has anyone actually done anything like "tinting" the headlights? It might look pretty sick on a black car. Considering how much people that DON'T have HID headlights b!tch about how bright they are, maybe you could get away with some tint.

the comptech springs will work great, as long as it's low enough for you.
comptech exhaust is nice too, i like mine
