Nice, I cant wait for your 6speed DIY writeup for us! lol. Are you planning on converting some stuff like the way the bumper is painted, painted grill, painted door handles, blacked out headlights to make it '03 looking

to do a painless straight up swap. swap out every part i had listed in the conversion thread. it will be pain free and you will not have to diagnose anything. The only thing left alone will be one of the ABS plugs, but mine still works fine.

i've had ksports before and they're too stiff plus the megan ez coilovers are about 650. i was looking into those and the f2 type 1 but the megans have dampening and the f2's dont. im not a ksport fan.

Where did you find your car for sale? I haven't seen many white Cl's in the bay area for sale.

Wow great progress! Hope all goes well with the tranny swap. This is turning into a much less depressing thread.

yes sir i have them sitting side by side tomorrow when i start pulling the motor i have pictures of my gf's car 2nd gen TL Aegean Blue Pearl thats coming out of the shop tomorrow. just finished painting it. also tomorrow if i dont get started on the motor swap or have time left over ill be doing the headlights just blacking them out for now. as for the fogs i like how it looks i know it doesnt do anything with lighting but just looks nice at night since i have 8k bulbs it matches well.
