The way to post pics is
-click on the pic at cardomain then copy the adress
- then at the top you will see a yellow square with a mountain and sun on it click it
- and paste the adress there

Yeah, I've always really liked cars and know quite a big about most. Since I've been on here I think I've got a few plans for this summer - Underdrive Pulley, Lowering Springs,new wheels and tires, and CT icebox intake. What do you guys think? any ideas ?

lol, I picked up my CL-S like a day after the original owner sold it to them. They hadn't even had a chance to detail it yet...

Sounds like a great start! Good luck, and remember to post pics. I've had my CL several months now, but primarily had to concentrate on timing belt stuff and brakes for starters. Keep in mind that according to "age" your timing belt is coming due. I know you hardly have any mileage on her, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in on whether the "age" of the belt is as important as the mileage on it.

Btw, it's looking clean. I hate cars that've been modded incorrectly and mickey moused back together. Seems like you got one that's not.

just out of curiosity (not til spring) but with headers on our cars, i've read an added estimated 30+ hp which would be great, but does it also make the exhaust louder? Id be ok with it being a little louder but I dont wanna make it sound like a rice-rocket. Thanks again guys!

It changes the tone slightly, but its not rice-rocket sounding.

Nice find. It looks clean on the exterior is the inside nice and clean as well? Also, it could never hurt to do basic stuff like an oil change, fuel injector cleaner and maybe even Seafoam it. It is gonna be sexy with the mods you listed IMO. good luck
