With a drop and some wheels, our cars look pretty damn good. Then it's performance for me.

your best bet is to keeping lurking in the black market. you can always find parts in there for a decent price if your patient. it took me a while but i found a supercharger in there for 2k. just keep looking and you will eventually find the part you want for cheap compared to retail price.

Yeah I went looks first. The cheap bolts ons are always fun. Make you enjoy the car more, with sound and looks too. CAI, Exhuast, Headers, etc. The real power is costly so I decided to go looks first. Tails, Tint, Wheels, etc. I mean if you think about it all that could have almost paid for the f/i by now but i'd like her to look good while i drive until i can save up again for the real power!

Im going more looks since I think we have plenty performance. With the auto tranny I don't think its worth it to go for balls out speed. Im looking at buying a new amp, 5%tint all around, underglow, and finally headers. Ill pretty much be done with it unless I go with some pulleys.

CL is an all around car, you get a little bit of everything.

I prefer the stock look. Performance FTW!

sleeper with a twist for me, hahahaha.

performance FTMFW. and if u want something and they dont sell it, MAKE it. i made a whole custom turbo kit. came out way cheaper than on that they sell for the v6 accords, and it way better.

u also get to know your car better when u work on it yourself

You can make a car both performance and show oriented, but that doesnt mean it will be good at either. I prefer performance. Im a function over form guy.

Sleeper FTW. Drop her a couple inches, get all that grafiti off the trunk, and keep it clean.
