After nearly a year of owning my CL-S, I finally took some pics.

Austin, TX had some nice weather this morning, so I decided to FINALLY take pictures. They're nothing special, and they were taken with a cell phone. My car is all stock, and currently, I have no plans to do anything to it (college student )





























Random 3000GT VR-4 i saw at school

though, i want to get rid of that stupid david mcdavid texas logo for sure, i'm just worried it'll leave junk i cant get out without spending a really really really long time

3m wax/adhesive remover from your local autoparts store will take the junk off

Looks nice. Do you have black interior as well? Do yourself a favor and at least buy some lowering springs. +/- $200 will bring lots of satisfaction.

i debadged the david mcdavid texas badge! dental floss kept snapping, so i used cotton thread. i heated it up with a hairdryer, it took about 20-30 mins. It did leave a bunch of gluey stuff, but i didnt feeling like buying googone when I would use only so much of it, so I tried getting it off with soap and water...it worked a little, but not all the way.
my dad came home about that time and dabbed a paper towel in some gasoline, and it took off the adhesive junk right away, lol.

i'm still not sure if i want to debadge the A C U R A and CL Type-S, i'm just going to leave them for now.

As for springs, i might look into them in the summer, but only a subtle drop because I'm hoping to go to college out of state next year, in Memphis, and their roads didn't seem like the best roads to be driving around in a lowered car in when I visited. Where do you find springs for $200ish? I looked in the blackmarket and saw those Tien SS Coilovers, and when I searched on google for prices for them, they were all $600+, so i'm assuming blackmarket prices would be around the same (maybe a little cheaper)
