I haven't really posted any pictures of this car since i got it about almost 2 years ago. so here it goes.. from beginning till now


started life as a 2001 CL-S










Picked up some used HKS Super Draggers and Cleaned the shit out of them






Of couse i had to be as cool as all the other kids and get comptech headers and them get them ceramic coated alomg with a XLR8 HFC





Got the UR underdrive pulleys installed





Did the 6 speed handbrake conversion along with the RSX Wheel



Installed the Tein SS



Did a RL BBK conversion






Installed a SPC F&R Camber kit



Molded the Rear bumper





Installed the Torque Damper and Neuspeed Strut Bar




Car got painted Glacier Frost Mica






SO MUCH MORE... and im already tired so ill add more pix later but here is the final Product.

 

Very nice! One of my favorites. What roof spoiler is that?

 

Awesome job molding the lip kit on. Also those RJ wheels are one of my favorite. Well thought out car!

 

Thanks guys and im not sure what brand the Roof Spoiler is, i bought is from a AZ member and never bothered to look before installing it.

 

looks good, nice work!

 

WOW.... Very nice...you did that all yourself?! Are those red calipers expensive? 'Cause I keep seeing them and really want some.

 

Handbrake conversion is SO COOL !! Did you have to steal that from a manual car or did you buy that and do it yourself ? I would think re routing the handbrake would be quite hard.

 

clean! love it. Was your car navi before? You have the controls where the change thing is supposed to be.

 

I didnt notice that ^. Double climate controls.

 

thanks for all the kind words, i was going to do the non navi to navi but never did and just been too lazy to take the center console apart to take it out.

The handbreak parts were all purchased new and that empty spot for the seat heaters has been bugging me like crazy..

all the work was done by me (minus the paint job) but a good friend helped me alot with the bumpers

 

Looks great!!!

 

Looks good, but it must go lower.

 

nice ass cl

 

DAMN that's sexy!

The only thing I would change is the gas door.

 

Nice

 

i am rubbing in the front & back over bumps , the ride is pretty hard and im afraid its gonna turn to shit if i go lower

 

Then youre not doing it right

 

Love the color. nice work

 

Nice an clean

Are you going do carbon fiber or vinyl roof top or trunk?

 

How much did all of this roughly cost?? Just a guess or near?? NOt the car but all the mods.

 

thanks everyone,

as far as how much, its hard to say i lost track a long time ago but i do feel it was well spent.

I will include a full list of everything done in the past 12 months to give u an idea i guess

 

Just got done replacing all the studs on the car as well as the front ball joints and also installed some black Gorilla Lug Nuts.

Car is parked at a angle so the front is lifted up a bit in the pictures, enjoy









Just in case someone is wondering (because i was before i did the bbk upgrade) after using a 5mm Spacer in the front, this is the kinda gap you get for clearance.

looks really good. just go lower lol.

 

And 6 speed swap it otherwise its a waste of a car... but props for all the work

 

^ thanks and i replaced the tranny about 500 miles ago so when (not if) it craps out its gonna be 6 speed time

 

Dope! Nice and clean the way it should be, good job!

 

nice ride like the way everything came out

 

wow very impressive mod list and your whip is in show-car status. if that's your driveway i don't know how you don't scrape going up lol

 

The car came out really nice! How long did it take for you to do all of this stuff?

And how much was that paint job if you don't mind me asking?

 

Pretty cool man - love the mods and even cooler you did the work. I had bought an RSX steering wheel but the wheel never made it on to the car because I never got clarification about some wiring issue with the airbag. Did you have to do something special to get that combo to work on the 2001 because there's something different on 01 than 03...again all from my failing memory.

 

This car is so clean. Very nice, and yeah go a tad lower.

 

seeing your cl truly makes me miss mine.

 

Nice to see someone actually mod a cl properly again. I like everything you've done. I don't think it needs to go lower, looks great to me.

 

car is very nice.......nice job modding!!!

 

Sarona

 

Great work! I like what you've done. I wish my cl was as shiny lol. You got one of the nicest looking cl's on here. What's left to do? Seems like you covered almost everything. How hard was the hand brake install?

 

Very nice car. I only have reservations with the gas door and the wheels look like 2 different sets and the lip on the rear wheels makes them look an inch smaller than the front pair. Does anyone else see this? Eh... maybe it's just me. Loved looking at the diary of mod pics.

 

Dat ass! Love the lip kit and wheels. I had a couple CLs lined up before i got my accord. Wish i wouldve gotten a cl, lol.

 

I like everything about your car except the hood, that said, its leaps and bounds above most people who try to modify their cars. very nice!
