for not lookin fast-n-ferocious

so many odd things about that CL though. painted 01 bumper to look like 03, with some odd thing stickin out on the drivers side. 03 headlights. 01 tails. unreasonable amount of type-s bling.

you're almost there though, just needs a little bit more of:

its actually an 02...tahts why i have those headlights. the bumper was painted at some local shop in boise, cuz the acura dealership doesnt deal with painting. honestly, the paint job sucks, if you look closely, WAYYY too much overspray

btw thats not my original bumper...ordered from dealership for $282...versus paying about $500+ from delray

You like your white cars eh?

Either way, I think that the style of the aftermarket bumper would look better if it flowed more.... I mean a lot more with the lines of the car. Then MAYBE it would look ok.

I saw the original front bumper with the lower grille painted white and I thought the car was smiling at me... haha

Def. a step in the right direction.

well the front has been in a slight accident before, but not salvaged. as for the headlights, i had them since i first got the car, so the previous owner prob did swap or something.

just take off your badges since they are obviously all in the wrong places. besides it looks better with a naked but.

The "3.2CL-S" badges are off too. Debadge it and take off the 3g Type-S badge on the interior and it would look 100x better. Oh, and all the "extra" tubing from your intake actually replaces all those hard lines you didn't take off.

Update

Had my car dropped with S Tech springs. i can deffinately feel the difference when turning, especially sharp turns. the only problem is, one corner is lower than the other 3, and i can barely fit my finger between my wheel and fender Big O says theres not much they can really do about it, when they are the one who installed it.
