Did the SEMA CL-S have 19s or 18s?

Pretty sure they were 19's ...

Do you guys think Acura can afford to make something close to this as the 2003 CLS 6MT? Obviously it would not have the 19's and most likely not a lot of the interior tweaks ... hmmm - I wonder

NOPE, that’s not the SEMA CL.
That’s a photo of the 2003 6-Speed that we just put a deposit down on.

Tell me it’s true ACURA !!!!!!

I know they say it was $20,000 of mods, but come on! That is the SEMA Acura and now it will be reincarnated as the "Jr" version as Shawn S's and provench's next car to be here as the 2003 CLS 6MT!

Fuckers. Every time I see that it pushes me a little more over the edge.

Our car should have that body standard, from the factory. It's a fuckin coupe for christ's sake, it should look like one.

WTF.

welp if you did want the sema cls:

2k for cross-drilled
2k for the bodykit
1.5-2k for those rims
1-1.5k for the tires

minimum=6k+base price(30k) 36k
maximum=7.5k+base price(30k) 37.5k

sorry, the car looks good but not that good. It would have to have a limited-slip and 6 speed manual and navigation for me to drop nearly 39k after taxes. I probably wouldn't buy and M3 where i live because of the damn snow.

Oky, why would it need a limited slip? And what the hell does a limidted slip differential even do???? NSXNEXT told me that it wont stop torque steer, so why does our car even need it?

So does this mean there are just no RED ones built yet or that it won’t be available in RED at all ???

Aegean BLUE is my second choice.

I wouldn’t expect it to built yet anyway unless they are coming out earlier then Feb/Mar.

PS….Do you have an address where I can send a BRIBE check ???
I want them to build me a BLUE one with a Parchment interior.

There are many hopeful that is why the 03 CLS is covered on the LA Auto Show debut page. We'll see on Jan 3-4 ... but I think the line for the body kit would be longer than for the 6MT car itself

hehe, no no, i don't think you can buy it. My post was attempting to break down the cost of what the SEMA CLS would cost. Oh don't forget the modified exhaust in the back. Add another 5 hundred or so.

Geeze, i don't know if Acura will ever put something like that out. 6speed would be the logical car to put it since it will be the debute and then must make the kit available for the '01 and the '02.

I'm sure somebody already has but what if we got a petition going and sent to each of the head people in Sales. Maybe then they would get the idea that there is a demand? I would think that it has already been done but.....
