The car looks different now.

It's received some juicy engine upgrades and a really nice dyno tune.

I saw the dyno...I think it was at 560hp as it sits right now.

This is what it looks like now...

I know what you mean about being a bit overrated but they are Godzilla...lol

This one gobbles up the trophies everywhere it goes.

If I can find some more with the CL, I'll post them.

Same one I have...







I think one of the issues I'm having is that it's too wide and the underside of our bumper isn't flat enough.

It looks like it should be cut down a little and something fabricated to transform the underside into a flat surface.

Another member I saw with this actually took a Versus front bumper for the CL and chopped it in half.

Thanks...actually I think it's dirty...

It's never even been detailed...

But I just got some new products and brushes to tackle that.

Just picked up a custom VIS Carbon Fiber trunk lip...

It was shaved to fit the CL perfect...

It'll be a nice touch when I pick up a new VIS hood & trunk.

I'm not sure what model the trunk lip is original too.

If I had to make a guess...it would be one of those.

I matched up it up the best I could around the OEM spoiler and it seems to be spot on.

Damn this carbon fiber fetish...

I like it without and I've been getting a lot of that same feedback.

Right now my car looks pretty "clean"

It'll be swapped out when I finish collecting the funds for the new CF Hood & Trunk w/ lip

New wheels are on the agenda as well...but not black.

Maybe something gunmetal...

This weekend I'm swapping back out the LED tail lights for my 03's.

Some of the LED's are "glitching" and have some other ideas that I want to incorporate.

The fact that they need to be constantly re-opened and re-sealed every time something happens to them is going to get old.

Some nice pics there Noah.

Cant believe your switching over to the lip spoiler. The grass is greener, lol.

I just want to throw out that i think your car looks MUCH better without the CF hood. But do what you love man, car is sweet.

Thanks man, long time no see.

I'm in agreement about the CF hood but I hope that would look different with the hood & trunk together.

Well the progress on the CL has slowed a bit...

Because I'm saving on the side for another ride.

I'm trying to work it out that I keep the CL and just get another car. ka-ching!

I still want to do the CF hood and trunk with custom lip

Re-paint the CL.

Then...

OMG...this is never going to end...

Not sure I want to do that but I think it would look a little cleaner. No M3/M5 lip.
You would have to get a whole new trunk. I was told by the best body shop in California that if you weld the wholes shut, the heat will damage and warp the surface of the trunk.

Yeah I would never remove the spoiler.

If anything happens, it's going to be CF trunk with my new CF trunk lip.

I'm sorry, but who claims to be the "best bodyshop in CA"? CA has the most saturated market in regards to bodyshops. What mighty shop made that ridiculous claim?

CL is officially out of commission for now...

Fucked my shit UP!!!!

Hit a jump at like 60 mph, cracked oil pan in 4 places, and did internal engine damage.

CL has officially turned into a project car since it's not worth selling at this point.
