Jacobpockros’s CL-S 6-Speed Thread

Here she is, my Black on Black CL-S 6-Speed:

My mods are:

- Eibach Prokit Lowering Springs
- Kyowa 228 Wheels (18x7.5)
- Toyo Proxes 4 Tires (215/45ZR/18)
- iRotors Drilled/Slotted Brake Rotors
- Comptech Axelback Exhaust with a removed mid-muffler
- Comptech Rear Sway Bar

55,200 original miles on her at the moment (she sleeps in the garage with the cover on all the time).

Here are some pictures of my pride and joy, and trust me, there’s going to be more to come:



















































Please leave me some comments and suggestions, thanks!

Lookin good man.
What do you use to protect her? Other than the cover?
A little Zaino Z-2 would really give great protection and a deep gloss.

Any plans to lower her? Just my style but overall you have kept that car in perfect condition!

Your car looks nice.
Why do you always post your milage ?
Will there be a time when you don't ? ,60,70,80k
Because honestly,when I see your the poster of a thread I expect to see you talking something about the mileage of your car.

Your the king man,I got 150k,now stop posting the milage.
Do you feel big now,No need to post the milage unless your selling

I do want to see some video's of you laying down some wheel.

imo he should do what he likes. Saying someone shouldn't do something because too many ppl have before is almost as bad as doing something you dont really like but just because its popular. I base my decisions on myself not other ppl personally. Car looks pretty clean. I would suggest an aftermarket shift knob, I dont like the stock one.

the 3rd gen TL shift knob is a nice upgrade. I think some tints and different rims would be good. Looks very clean though....must be since you don't really drive it.

I liked black wheels on black cars before they were even popular. Kind of like Johnny Noxville's sunglasses.

I love the way they look and there staying with the car

Weird angle I was looking at, you sure are lowered. Looks good man...keep up the good work.

Try and Zaino, or even over the counter Meg's next wax, it gives teh black that deep rich gloss it needs. It might just be the pics but even though it looks very CLEAN, it looks almost like it's lost it's lustre.

I could be wrong.

Nope the paint is fine. I see what your saying though, in some pictures it can easily trick the eye because of the shine i have on it and the angle i took the pictures.

Paint is original too.

I like it, except for the wheels.

The polished lip/black face wheels are a bit played out.

Wheel gap has nothing to do with road feel. Its the spring rates and dampening.

RP, leave your cardomain drama on cardomain, there's no need to attack him here and hijack his thread. I just had to delete 10 posts that had nothing to do with this thread. He voted plenty of 5 star ratings as well, so drop it. Anyone continues the attack on here and you get a week off.

And I didnt see the pic because I was at work and the picture was blocked. Looks good.

If I were to get a personalized plate for the CL Id probably get 1OF480 or something like that.
