I LIKE THE WAY YOU THINK. YOU JUST DID A SIMPLE AFTERMARKET CHANGE. I SEE OTHER PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM WHO LOWER THERE CARS, PUT BIG SPOILERS, AND WINGS ON, CLEAR THERE FRONT LIGHTS ETC. I THINK IF THE CAR DOESNT LOOK GOOD AFTER YOU DO SOMETHING TO IT YOU LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT. IF YOU WANT TO DO A MAJOR EXTERIOR MOD FIND A PICTURE OF SOMEBODY ELSES CAR THAT DID THE SAME MODIFICATION TO SEE IF THE CAR WILL LOOK GOOD OR LIKE TRASH. ANYWAYS GOOD JOB ON YOUR CAR AND GOOD LUCK IN THE FUTURE.

FYI.... If you take a look at the members on this board, the mods are minimal. These are CL owners NOT Integ owners. It's not like we paid 20K for an Integ or civic to make it look like a Hyundai Tiburon. Next, there aren't too many parts for the CL so if we took a picture of a current CL on the baord and made it look like that, the end result would be the car is 50% likely to look like the other cars on the board! Are all of them idiotic and stupid?? Big Wing...what big wing? If I bought the thing from the factory, ala the factory style spoiler (the only one I've seen from ppl on this board) you're gonna call that trash and idiotic? Please you gotta be kididng me. The CL is a car that we all think should be improved upon; things that the factory should have done for us. If that requires a little mod here and there, then so be it. Before u make generalizing claims, "Mr. I've got 30 posts to my name and I want to generalize everyone on the board for having an idiotic wing and lowered car", be a little more objective on what you say before you say it from a subjective, biased point of view. Some of don't have the luxury of owning cars that look great from the factory, Mr. 1)GS430 2)Corvette Z06 3)M3.....

Thank you.

Hey Zoom Zoom...

I dont believe for a minute that you own all those cars. Why dont you show us some pics.
This will give you an opportunity to prove yourself. Please make sure all of those cars are in front of the same house, not 1 in front of the mall and the other at a football stadium. Most CL owners are a little brighter than your dumb ass.

Hey Zoom Zoom Zoom-I'm callin' you out man, you don't own those cars and you f*&kin' know it! Why in hell would you own a GS430 and be thinkin' about buying a tl-s? That makes absolutely no sense. What you mean is you HOPE one day to own A car (singular) and right now the cars you list as yours are pipe dreams. Get a life

Who the fuck put Konigs on a GS?? Damn, get some real rims, bro. Not to say Konigs are cheap, but slap on some konigs on a Lex and call me RICE!!

Get some REAL rims like SSR GPO Decoltes!! haha. The more I look at these rims the more I'm glad I bought them. Even though they're used. Defintely wouldn't have been able to afford them at 550 a pop.

Very nice rims, match the CLS well. Why the two month wait? Did you buy local or online?

I noticed the beast sleeping in the garage.

In addition to what Black Pride said...

um hello.. the Corvette uses transverse leaf springs... and does not use a conventional spring setup... so there is no way in HELL Eibach even makes a spring for the C5. DO YOUR HOMEWORK first.

Finally... Team Loco doesnt make a wheel in the correct offset and size for the Vette either... come on now... you think we are a bunch of idiots?

BUSTED!
