I wanted to drop in and say hello! I just picked up a local 2003 Acura CL-S 6 Speed with 53k miles from a dealer. I had to give up my beloved NSX about 6 months ago and have been crying ever since. I purchased a 2010 Acura ZDX about 6 months ago to free up some bills and other things. The ZDX was my first automatic in my life and I hated it. I knew I had to look for something cheap in order to start saving for another NSX and the CL was a perfect match. The car is in really great condition, other than a few dents which it will be going to the body shop soon to get everything back to new. I’m about as anal as they get when it comes to my cars, and I’m grateful for the people who took great care of this CL over the years. The wheels will be the first thing to go as I don’t like the design. The car come with a set of KSport coilovers which I will determine if I’m going to keep after I change wheel size. I’m really excited to have an older car again and can’t wait to learn about this car from you all. Thanks for looking! It’s kind of funny the previous owner lives like 5 miles from me, if you are on here please contact me

Congrats! What wheels are those? They almost look like RonJon Legend Type IIs. If they are, post them in the BM. You should be able to get a decent amount for them. I think theyd fit well on the 3G TL. 20s are a no-no for the CL IMO.

53,000..good catch...WELCOME!

eneffex

nice pick up, I agree the wheels are a bit much. and welcome

mugen_kid

Thanks dude, the wheels are RonJon 20" which is way too big for this car imo like you said. I will most likely go with a 18 or 19 in an aggressive fitments.

Thanks diddy

My thoughts exactly Thanks

Thanks, I agree with you too. Something soon I promise

1foxbody

Sounds good!

exl124

The wheels are not so bad...But 20's are a bit big...

CLassy02

Welcome. Swap wheels and go low. Keep the coils. Also, the ZDX is just...awful. I think it's terribly ugly. My opinion though.

Wow, that mileage is awesome...congrats and enjoy!

I saw that car for sale on autotrader. I was going to check it out but I didn't like the color. Glad you picked it up.

mugen_kid

Haha no offense taken. The ZDX is not for everyone, but ugly or not it is one hell of a car Tech wise.

Thanks!

Its my first silver car so im pretty excited. I knew I had to act fast if I wanted it. I basically did the deal the first day they listed it, and picked it up this afternoon. Still smells new! The pass rear Qpanel has a weird dent in the main body line which I will be addressing soon, other then a few other door dings it's pretty flawless.

slvrdrgn123

Yea, it's in pretty good condition for it's age. I thought it might have belonged to a member on here since it had RJ wheels on it. But I didn't see anyone list it in the black market so it was probably just a trade in.

welcome! i checked out your zdx build the other day and it was really well done. if thats any indication, your cl build will be an awesome addition to this board

CLassy02

What kind of tech does the ZDX have?

I love silver, and SSM is a great color. Honestly I have a few dings myself (happens at 181k ) and they are really hard to spot because of the color. If you end up changing your suspension setup, please let me know if you're selling those coilovers, I'd love a set of coils as I am not low enough, who knows, maybe we could work out a trade/cash deal.

mugen_kid

Thanks, I have lots of things planned for the CL. Just doing all my research now. I kind of thought there would be more stuff for this car but looks like im wrong. Does Acura even offer a factory bodykit for the CL?

The ZDX I had was the Advanced model which basically comes with ever option from Acura. Blind Spot, Adaptive Cruise, Brake Assist, 15GB Harddrive, IDS Suspension, Cool and heated seat, Bluetooth, and the list goes on. But its just not for me.

I will let you know about the coils, I for sure want coilovers and will determine once my wheels get here next week or so.

Lol welcome to the wonderful world of very limited aftermarket support. Half the parts on my car are from other cars. There's no factory lip kit for the cl. Myself and other members molded the kit from the TL.

brokslouky

Welcome and nice ride with a nice color I find it borderline idiotic that Acura made a lip kit for the TL (less sporty) and didn't make one for the CL (more sporty). Anywho, I hope you love you are car, very tough to find one with that low of miles. Good day!

CLassy02

Damn that sounds like a pretty nice car though. Thanks man!

typeR

IMO i had O.Z. superleggeras not ultraleggera is as close as available in 18s 225/45 i think are so perfect for this car ...that or Astros SE37a werent bad

I picked my car up at 95k and the body is nearly perfect, except i believe the previous owner backed into a wall or someone turned too tight around the rear, these are scratches.

As for your wheels , 20 is much too big imo as well.

mugen_kid

Thanks, I have found out a lot of info for the CL this past weekend on this forum. I cant wait to start modding Never mind the PM I sent yo. I ordered my wheels and they should be here this week hopefully.

I concur, pretty sad Acura didnt make a kit for this car for as sporty as it is. I will think of something.

The OZ are nice, I actually prefer the Eneki GTC01 they look a lot a like.

Im loving this car Drives like a dream and I think the power is fun for the daily commute.

sorry i didnt respond back. i been crazy busy lately and forgot you even sent that pm. what did you end up going with?

mugen_kid

No worries diddy, things have been the same way for me this past week. I ordered a set of Avante Garde 310 Dolphin Grey in 19x8.5 so I can get these 20" wheels off the car. Im still looking for a 3-Piece wheel for the car but will determine what route I will go once the Avante wheels are on so I can look at the stance.

CLassy02

Ooooo I like those wheels. If you consider selling the coils please PM me!

nrvuz

I love it.... especially the tint and how really brings out the color of the car. Thumbs up...way up

CL Juice

nice ride, congrats. wheels are not my fave either, but car looks clean

mugen_kid

Thanks, I will for let you know when it comes that time

Thanks, the tint is kind of bugging me actually, but then again I like the fish bowl look

Me too! Also let me know if you have any questions. I have a lot of knowlegde on the NSX.

It could be the old owner but this car has been in AZ for most its life so Im not 100% possitive that is the same car. I really do love that rear spoiler!

Thanks man

r3fr35hit
