Questions about mods

I have a 01 cl-s and was looking to do a couple things to my car and i have seen some shit i want to do and got some questions.

Custom Grille. where can i get one for a decent price. i seen a couple of cls with them and i like how they look.

03 cl-s lights any modding i need to do to make them fit the 01?

adding a sub to stock system? will it sound decent. the stock system is good but i prefer a little more bass.

Thanks

Do a search or check out the DIY section. There's info on custom grilles and headlights. You can open your headlights and black out the silver crap, so they look like the 03 light.
Much cheaper that way, same results.

Get a JL Audio subs. I have a wedge box with two 10's and it does a great job of filling that lacking bass from the stock system. I had my done by Best Buy 5yrs ago and to this date no problems with install.

Adding a sub to your set up will sound fine.
changing the HU without changing the interior speaker will sound like s@#! or changing the speaker without changing the the HU will have the same s@#! sound.That because the impedence (ohm's)wont match up.
So add the sub you will be fine.When I added mine I installed the LOC right off one of the 6x9's.Some say wire it behind the deck or before the amp,not me I did'nt want to try to firgure out what wires were what,when there plain as day in the rear.But I'm on my 3rd LOC cuz of it. Buy a decent one and it wont be a problem.The one I have now is made by axxcess and its been there 8 months so far,and the others I tryed last a week.

I definately reccomend JL subs. I have 1 13TW5 thin sub and it sounds excellent.

I have a RonJon grill taking up space in my garage. It doesnt have the trim around it, but you can use yours. Let me know if your interested.
