look around a little, you'll find pics of a cl w/ a tl kit.

your car looks nice, i like the color of the wheels.

i think it would look better w/o the stickers and the calipers painted black. it would enhance the clean look.

those rims look hot..but IMO, not on a CL...belongs on a WRX or something...stickers look gay, calipers don't look that bad...

I agree with Mattg too..

I like the red calipers, but I would get the real ones and with some nice sloted rotors too..

Moi aussi. Stickers are no good. Brembo red rotors would be bearable, but stock ones painted red is an eyesore. Immediately draws your eyes right to the calipers when there is so much more to see.

If I was to keep the stickers, I would make them greyish for your color car. That way they are there, but not "sticking out" like those are.

Those wheels look great on the CL. And yeah, the calipers would look better painted black IMO, but they actually don't look too bad in the pics.

And keep the stickers, all you need to get is some racing stripes now.

I need those wheels!!! to me, the stickers are small so its not too bad. I'd leave them, just don't put anymore on! and please buy some brembos! Don't be drawing attention to your stock calipers!
But it does give you an idea of how it would look with the brembos!

I am not much off a sticker person , so I would loose the stickers, as for the calipers , hey black maybe a better sleeker way to go , but everyone has there style, and they do look ok ...
what I can't understand is why so many people put spoky wheals on their cl-s ' I guess I was really planning to install a set of chromies on mine when I get them ,, i want something with like 5 thick spokes , and just really shinny

You're missing the 5" - ACURA sticker on your windshield.

I'm not fan of body kits...Imo.

hnet, how come you went with 225/40/18's instead of 235/40/18? The 235's would have been closer to your stock tire diameter. Come to think of it, most cars in the vancouver area that I have come across with 18x8 rims stick with 225's...I rarely ever see 235's...except for mine being put on later in the week...heh heh.

Yup, you can probably spot me on Kingsway. That's the road I usually take because it leads to downtown or burnaby the other way.

I'll be putting on a set of Volk AV3's.

-35% rear tint
-painted mudguards
-H&R Sport lowered
-GReddy EVO exhaust

Is it me, or did you get some red paint on your rotor? just finding out if that was some sort of weird reflection?

Your ride looks sweet....I don't really care about the stickers one way or another...depends on the type of look you want. Car looks a bit racy with the stickers on, pretty clean. I am not a fan of OZ wheels though...feel they weigh too much, I guess. But they look nice.

most OZ wheels/Italian carved wheels weigh a lot, but the superleggera's aren't all that bad.. they are pretty light actually and the supercharged comptech CL has a set of them on their car too...

which H&R springs did you get, and did you get new shocks. if not how are your stock shocks holding up. by the way the car looks sweet.
