I think 19's are actually perfect...plus, if he's going with a lip kit, he doesn't want the car to be closer to the ground to leave him ground clearance even with almost no wheel gap.

looks good. the tl lip kit will really set it off.

your car looks just so perfect! I think 19's gives the CL the perfect stance.

also phoenix looks like a really cool place to live!

I almost went with a Work in 18" but felt 19" would be best for as low as I wanted to go. This car is pretty long and I feel the 19" though may not perform the best it sure does look the best imo. And like you said the kit will go well with the 19".

Thanks, Phoenix is ok. It seems nice till you get to know the people around here Must be something in the water haha, im not originally from here. The weather and streets are perfect though. You just dont want to be around when summer hits

i think silver is now my favorite color on the CL just because of your car lol

MarbleGT

Was not expecting a car that looked anywhere near that good with a user name like that.

Freak'n gorgeous man. Gorgeous.

Soooo fresh!!!!

I just ordered the rear TL under spoiler from Acura. Should be here by next week woohoo! I will start working on the front and sides real soon!

mugen_kid

Pretty excited, I just won some OEM TL side skirts on ebay for a great price. Now I just need to find the front lip so I don't have to order it from the factory.

civicdrivr

1) Wrong thread for this.
2) No such thing as a Type R CL or TL.
3) No.

CLassy02

Wish their was a type R ecu for us.

Very nice find, love the bbs and drop, wish I could see it without window tint....fishbowl FTW!

mugen_kid

Thanks, I agree with the fishbowl look. But living in Arizona the sun can be a pain in the ass.

AustinTaper

Agreed! I'm in Texas and can't wait to get darker tint!

Well I took the time on my day off yesterday to try the TL rear lip install. I ordered this from Acura in my body color. I know a lot of the treads I have seen people have been cutting them to install. Since it was the same color as my car I wanted to try and see if it was possible to fit without any cutting in the rear beside the exhaust cutout. I did end up cutting the end off which you can see in the photos below. Im really happy with the way everything turned out. There are a couple places I need to suck in the gap but it is very small and hard to tell. It took me a very long time to try different ways to suck in the corner bumper for the lip to sit flush with no gaps. I ended up cutting some lexan and built a cheap bracket for the lip and bumper to suck tight together. I can say it looks getto but you cant see it from eye level, it was the best solution for the gap in the corner. The side skirts are next and should be here next week.

First thing I did was tape the lip in place, make sure everything is lined up because you will need to drill next.


I just drilled holes into the bumper using the lip as a template.






Here is where I had to suck the gap out of the corner. I basically drilled a piece of lexan onto the lip and bumper making sure using your hand to force the bumper in the right position. Might look getto but it worked great.


This is the bottom side of the lip. I wanted to use the lip bracket so I cut another piece of lexan to extend and reach the lip bracket and attach.




The final thing I did was cut the end off. I still plan on making some kind of end piece or use the piece I cut off.


And to the end results.

Good work it came out great! Have you decided what your going to do about the exhaust now? The more picture I see of your car with those wheels the more I think how good it all flows together. Looking clean buddy!

Nice work. See greatness in the making

mugen_kid

Thanks a lot, I will be going with the Tanabe Medalion. I may not do that till I get the sides and front lip done. Its starting to get hot here so I will be working on your project soon. It will be something I can focus on, just been really busy.

Thanks

1foxbody

Nice that should sound and look nice. It's alright I'm a patient guy. Do you think there is anyway for me to have a set before May 12th? That's when a big local car show is being held and it would be nice to have them before that. If not it's no big deal. I'm still waiting for my front bumper with a molded lip and grill to be painted at the body shop so at least everything will look fresh in the front of my car for the show.

mugen_kid

I dont see why I couldnt have them done by that date. I will call you this week and plan some things

Looking good

Those rims are so smooth

wow that came out really well! i think i'm going to steal this idea off you for my kit

badeh2

iTrader: (1)

Came out good except for the ends of the lip where it is supposed to be flared out a little.

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

You have some good taste kid. I like it.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

that came out great. car is looking good. making me miss my CL lol. i do agree with badeh2 i like it better with ends of the lip to flare out a little. just my opinion of course.

mugen_kid

Thanks, Go for it! That's why I posted some info on how to. If you have any questions just PM me

Thanks, Im actually waiting to do the flare later when my side skirts are on so I can adjust the rear to the side. Should look much better when I get the whole kit on.

Thanks bro!

Haha thanks! Dont worry you make me miss my NSX every time I look at your thread. I also agree with you and badeh2 about the flare. I will do the flare once the sides are on

4cruizn

Agreed!

John, just saw this thread. Honored to say I've driven that CL before! Cleanest one I've seen in a LONG time! Keep up the great work and the inspiration.

Agreed !

mugen_kid

I really dont have any updates yet. Its been way too hot to work on the car or even pay attention to it for that matter. I have the rest of the kit I need to get on the car and will do so as soon as it starts to cool down a bit. I went to Cali last week and took a couple of pics on the way. Thought I would share!

and i found a new wallpaper man i love those wheels i remember you had to have them redrilled right ? was it 5x120 ? i hate silver color but your hands down looks the best... quality rim and proper drop = sex

mugen_kid

Thanks man, these were originally 5x112. Been thinking about getting two more rears in a 19x9.5 to see how it it looks. But still in a 19x9.5 there's not much more concave which is what im looking for so I dont think its really worth it.
