1st time post of pics......

I just joined the forum about a week ago and I've learned more about my car from all of you then I ever had. I've put wheels and rotors. Windows are 35% front and 5% rear. I have a feeling based on what Ive seen that you will tell me the next thing I should do is some springs. I would apprecitate any comments. Thanks for your time.....E
2001 silver cl non-types. (just paid it off )

I bought it brand new. I'm not sure actually. I think I got it for 27 for 28k when it was new. I'd have to look. I agree about the stickers. My daughters idea.

Yea...those wheels didn't help either. When they let it down off that car jack I was thinking "man is that jack still under it?"

Did you back-up into something? Looks like there are mad scuffs on the right side of your rear bumper.

Yes, unfortunitally I was hit by someone backing up in a parking garage. The good thing is the bumper popped back out right in front of me. I have a friend who works at a body shop and I'm actually going to take it to him tomorrow.
It does look like shit though.

I feel you trust me. I just got rear-ended by a car load of mexicans and the rear bumper isn't all that bad just some spider cracks and a few dents. The front bumper is scraped to shit I hate driving my car around w/ the front bumper all scratched and ripped. It's horrible and I'm fortunate that it wasn't my fault I just want to get it repaired and over with. My airbags deployed on top of it all.

I can't wait to drop it. I just need to research it some more. I don't know much about these springs and coilovers.

Looks great. I never had a single problem with mine and I know others have had some. An overall wonderful car. I would drop it like everyone else is saying. You'll notice a huge difference. Good luck with her.

CleanATL's looks lower because the wheels are 19's, hence, filling in a bit more of the wheel well.
Looking good Trance
By the way Trance as in style of music or just a catchy wasy of saying transmission ?

actually both. My wife and I are big fans of good dance music. I just recently burned her a great cd and was just screwin around and named it trancemission. So I was signing up for the site and looked down at the cd and thought "well I got nothing else"

yea those 19's do fill up the wheel well quite a bit more then my 18's do. I'm just debating on the next thing I'm going to do and if its worth doing it to a CL-P.
