A car that is paid off is generally a good thing! I would tend to keep it and add headers and an intake.

Headers and intake will definitely make a noticable difference. You will be able to feel the power difference throughout the powerband and see the car accelerate faster.

I would definitely sit back, relax and enjoy not having a car payment. There is no need to wrap yourself up into another one, especially with such low mileage.

thanks a lot for the info. coilovers do sound good to me. i was thinking of buying the the tein basics. im actually a student in college and my dad is the one that purchased the car cash back in 2003 and babied it for 2 years. My dad is in a wheelchair now and cannot drive anymore so he gave me the car and i have had it for about 1 year

i dunno if the 07 TL-S is gonna be a six speed or not but since im a M/T type of guy i'd sell the CL-S cuz of the tranny and pick up the new TL-S ONLY if it were a 6 speed
