If you plan on selling the car within 1 year of ownership why even bother with all the money wasted on these little "mods" and not save it for the new ride instead?

I used the Silverstar 194ST bulbs and a yellow tint film overlay. They aren't that bright but it gets the job done & they look clean!! However if you want that HID yellow, please let me know when you find out what bulb to use on a stock wire harness. The link to the bulbs and film are below!

- Yellow Film (just look up on ebay 'yellow film')

Here are some more up-to-date pics of my car so far =)









I 'pin-stripped' over the chrome around my door and handle to black.
Inspired by another member off here and can't remember who. (Sorry!!)
If your reading this thanks for the info on how to do it!!

I'm buying some new apple icons cause the ones right now are peeling off.

All I really need to do is lower it =)

And Yes. I do have a brown domo and the limited edition valentines edition plush which everyone wants to steal lol

I might possibly passing on some nex coilovers very soon and they will go lower than you would ever need.
Also got a Zex kit for sale that would work great with your short ram.

Aw, what the heck. The OP is just having some inexpensive and reversible fun w/ his car. Takes a certain kinda bravery that I lack to drive around w/ the cutesy stickers and dolls an stuff. My wife put in some Mashimaro seatbelt thingies in our LS430 and when I drive it I slide 'em down out of sight.

I would be passing on the coilovers for dough not for free.
I don't need your address.

The zex kit is a nitrous kit.
And for your short ram,would be for your "short ram intake".
And I will sell that for 310 on a meet.

Hey all you Acura CL owners!
I'm back and tring hard to stay on top of my shit haha
Well nothing new except for hitting 190K on my car.
I have a month left until I pack up and ride off to Cali.
As for my car, waxed and buffed.
No new updates except now I sponsor for SOHO Motorsports.

Please check out the site - http://www.sohomotorsports.com/
If your in the metro-Charlotte go CHECK THEM OUT!
They will do ANYTHING!
Even though it doesn't say Acura/Honda on their 'About Us', they still work with it.
So no worries!

Just had a blast at the car meet today!

Hung out with Flawless Fitment crew and a few ISO members.
And not to mention Team RPM!

Uploading pics of the meet soon!!
Also a few landmark pics and 'line-up' pics as well.

Anyone in Cali (if your reading this thread) around Rancho Cucamunga/Pasadena area? If so, I'll be around there in Oct.

I'd LOVE to see the meets and what not out there!

Again check out SOHO MOTORSPORTS!!! (Even if your not in Charlotte!)

So my roommate is getting rid of his coil overs.. wtf?
Yea they're going to be mine soon. Hopefully lowering it as soon as he gets his new set.
Keep in mind they are still pretty much brand new.
Forgot the company name, but I'll get back to it asap.
Possibly lowering the front about 2in and the back 2.5in, I also have spacers but this is where anyone on this thread comes in and tells me what I should do, or at least an idea.

Springs/Coil Over = Figuring soon
Spacers = Not sure of the width yet

I kinda lost power cause my old roommate intentionally forgot to pay the bills..

Give or take about a few weeks from now... I'll finally be sitting low!! =)

PS - Rolling Fenders? 0.o Good Idea? or No?

Hi Guys!

I am buying the red Acura 3.2 2001 off my sister for 2k, I know, very cheap! Plus she spent 600-700 on the rims a few months ago. I registered here because I want to upgrade it a bit.. I want it to look cool as that will be my car for yearsss... I am going to save money to make my car cool and add good parts.

I really like what you did to your car.. ^^;;
