story goes, i blew my third gear out in my 02tl-s. i was going to turbo it and throw a 6spd in their. well when i bought this cl-s6 for parts, it was not worth it to strip it. instead im gonna spend about $1000-$1500 on parts and paint and make it my track car.

my tl-s, going back to stock and might sell it, but then again i want to keep it for a DD




03 CL-S6, needs some body parts and i already straightened out the bulkhead, also need two headlights (housings), and a tail light.



ive already but my tein basic coilovers from the tl to the cl along with the rear progress 3rd gen tl sway bar.

next on list is a cf hood, where do u guys order yours? i dont want to buy oem bc a cf will cost a bit less. then maybe a cf trunk. still need to order some turbo compenents and then the cl will be declared a track car with some street use.

anything i should look out for?

 

apparently the cl's have crappy ballasts

 

Hey another ssm TL-er coming over here

You're gonna love it. I don't regret the switch even though it was stupid for me financially. lol

 

i payed 1800 for the car and 600 for dealer fees, auction fees, and towing. so this really payed off for me,

i still want to keep the tl and just have the nitrous hooked up to it for fun with other cars . and maybe put some lowering springs on.

I've not purchased from them yet but they seem to have the best prices with good shipping costs. Theyre in SC.

 

OK now i get what you were talking about over the phone yesterday

I didnt get why you wanted to see my car when you owed a TL

 

front lowered


rear lowered


bulkhead almost straight

 

u got a pretty good deal on it.

 

Looks like a lot of work to do......

 

not at all, just need to straighten that and buy some headlights, front and rear bumper, tail light, grill, radiator. but cant find these things for cheap. everything but the grill is around $200, grill is $170. all from the http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...catdisplay.jsp

any help on who is parting these things out is greatly appreciated

 

If you want roadlamps I'll trade you mine for the inserts that come in the bumper. haha just sayin

And sounds like a great deal even after the work going into it

 

no road lamps for me seeing how the intercooler piping is gonna hit them like it did in my tl. but if it doesnt hit the the inserts i might make them into air ducks to cool off my brakes

 

that's a really good deal for a running cl-s

 

I went to high school and still keep in touch with the owner of that company, they have awesome deals, and he's a cool cat and a good friend.

 

Good to know.

 

Im assuming this has a salvage title? either way, our cars are out of warranty anyways and our resale values have gone to shit, so awesome deal man!

 

Tell me about it

 

for $2400 you got a steal, even if you put 2gran more on parts! I assume you'll do all the work? It's a 6spd, you should be happy....

 

Now i want to buy a CLS.....

 

Great deal on that CL. Here are 2 headlights if you are lookig for some goijng on ebay.. they have an hour left with no bids.. maybe contact the sell er see if he ahs them if you miss the auction... here is the url to the guys items currently for sale.. http://motors.shop.ebay.com/merchant...rmrsZ1QQ_fromZ

 

^ he is selling them for $110.00 a pop with ballast and all working no reserve..off of a 2003 CL S from California... I figure if no one bids you can ask him if he has them and get a good deal. or should i say a steal for 110 per headlight...

 

i bidded on them and asked seller if he can work out a deal since i want to buy both.
thx for the heads up.

its a salvage title, doesnt matter bc we are out of warranty, and for the price i payed for it, i dont really care if its salvage or not. it will mainly be a track car.

 

no problem just looking out for members on here. Good thing you were on and not busy. Hopefully ill get a chance to see this beast when she is finished. I couldn't help but notice from the pic n your location.. im assuming your by a golf course... i have a buddy who lives in Niles and i drive through their sometimes.. down harlem or through downtown. GL with the lights btw!

 

im by a golf course. feel free to stop by when im home and check out the car. im a couple min from the HIP

 

bought both headlights for $110 a piece. and $15 to ship each. so $250 for two cl-s headlights with hid bulbs, not a bad deal.

 

I will pass you my number and we can hit up a meet thats coming up. I have a 03 cl-s 6 speed SSM all stock except for intake. pretty busy now with school since im getting out next month.

 

Thats good. my buddy got one for 220 shipped.. he wasn't so lucky.. and without ballast/igniter and bulb.
Custom front bumper?? or are you looking to get a stock one?

 

stock one, unless their is a nice aftermarket one, im more knowledgeable about the tl side since i owned one for 3years and been on this site that long, haven't ventured to the cl section until i got this car a couple days ago. any nice front bumpers that will fit a nice FMI?

 

CL side sucks

 

^automatics suck

 

I dont know of bumpers for the cl that may fit your intercooler piping. you are deffinately gonna need some slight modification. I see alot of people keep the stocl front bumper and add lip kits.. preferably off a TL... look into it. I havnt came across any nice front bumpers except for what i mentioned.

 

i know i need to cut the bumper forsure like i did in my tl
