wow good eye. this was taken right before I took the car to the bodyshop to have the hood re-aligned. the bodyshop had replaced the hood dampers and never bothered to align the hood simultaneously. it was slightly off, surprised you actually caught that.

Yes the fenders are pulled, the wheel specs are 9.5/10.5 +22 all around. I definitely saved a lot of weight replacing the stock front seats with these recaros; however, the additional weight I added in the trunk for the stereo system probably negates all that. Never planned on racing/tracking the car anyway.

why did you change to the 6 speed console?
thanks. i thought long and hard about what to do with the door panels. i'm glad they turned out really nice though. i changed to the 6spd console for the better cup holders (even though I had to re-locate the e-brake cable underneath. in hindsight it was such a PITA for a nicer cupholder, but at the time my car was undergoing a complete conversion from tan interior to black interior anyway)

the interior can be yours if you're serious.
TBH, the interior pictures posted were because you and a couple others have been pretty persistent wanting more pictures of my interior. even got a few PM's telling me to hurry up and post pictures of it. i felt the peer pressure.

You should do the 6-Speed Handbrake swap now that you have the cupholder with the cut-out for it

the cut-out houses my bass adjustment knob. changing the e-brake from a pedal to a hand-brake really has zero benefit.

You dont use the handbrake to ever slow down without letting the cop know your on your brakes i never liked the pedal ebrake thats just me.

I drive a manual car whenever I don't drive the CL; there is no benefit from switching from the pedal e-brake to a hand brake. The purpose of the ebrake is not to "slow down without letting cops know you're on your brakes". I have never heard of that, ever. Makes absolutely zero sense to me.

I just drive normally. Southern CA has a plethora of modified honda/civics that attract much more attention than my car.

I don't think it's as bad as you think it is. $2-300 since both of us are paying for shipping one way.

Yea lol it has come a loooong way. The cl is fast/fun for now only cause of the blower. When I'm done with the VIP car I got coming I'm going to sell the cl and get a rwd weekend toy.
