My CL with 20" x 9.5" Lorinser D-93 wheels...
I took this with my camera phone, so sorry if quality isn't Grade A. My car is lowered with Koni yellows and Eibach Pro Kit (this is all that was available in 2001 when I bought the car). Personally, after riding in another CL-S with Tein coilovers, I now hate my suspension and will be changing it soon! Nevertheless, my car is lowered approx. 1.8 - 2.0 inches but I get NO RUBBING! My wheels are a +50 offset and the tires are Pirelli PZERO NERO 245/30/20. I have a heavy a$$ed stereo system AND I can carry 4 (including myself) and STILL NO RUBBING! The only modifications done to the car was the rolling of the rear fenders. My stereo consists of an Alpine IVA-D900, an Autotek MX-3000, and Autotek SX-4160, Alpine 3-way 6x9's, 6.5's and tweets, and (2) PORTED JL Audio 12W7's. I dare ANY average SUV to try my stereo! Anyway I have installed the '03 headlights, tailights,a and grill, and Volvo sidemarkers. My window tint is 20% smoke, and I have also installed the Acura wood/leather steering wheel, wood shift knob, wood vents, and stick-on wood crap. I have installed a fog light switch in the blank space on the left of the steering wheel which is the same from a an '02 or '03 TL. I will be more than happy to take more pictures if someone would like me to.

I do not mind constructive criticism or opinions (they're are like Escalades...everybody's got one!), but seriously, to tell me Lorinser is a Benz tuner (which I know, and then say "I have a TL body kit and M5 spoiler..." I know I 'm no the only one here that understands where I'm coming from. Thanks though from everyone. I want a kit, but I want one like the kit on that RON JON CL. The problem TO ME is that the one they advertise and the one they are selling APPEAR to be different. Plus, I'm on my 4th tranny. I'm going to buy another bike before I do anything else with this car besides sell it and buy a G35 coupe or something. I went with this wheel because, a. I like it, b. it came in a high offset but wasn't skinny as hell (i.e. 7.5" wide), and c. Nothing else I liked with like a 4 inch lip would fit properly...by the way, someone else is hosting these pictures for me, so I will get my stereo pictures up here as well ASAP. My enclosure is custom made for my trunk (around the navigation module) and barely takes up half my trunk, not 80%...holla back.

well obviously you can make a box the size of the speaker, but why buy a $600+ speaker and not have it in the right size enclosure. i bet you arent getting half the potential for those speakers. (esp. for 12's)

I have an idea... contact JL Audio and then reference their dealer Sound On Wheels in Huntsville, AL and mention my car. Ask ANY QUESTION you want to them. Next contact Jerry Damson Honda and Acura and reference my car and ask them anything. I don't have to lie or front. Everything I have told you is fact. My wheels only come in one 20" size 20" x 9.5" and my enclosure is made EXACTLY to JL specs and slot ported.

ok.
Personally, I hate those wheels, reason being, around, Hyundai's aare rolling around on them, which is very
I'm not a fan of big heavy chrome wheels on sports/Lux cars, but I will say your car does look well kept, and for that fact I will give you a compliment. The 03 heads and tails really look nice on NBP CL's.
I bet with the wheels, 30 series tires, Eibachs, and Konis, your car has to ride like complete shit it may not, but it would seem to me that it would.
IMO it looks ok, you need not a body kit, that may actually make it look kind of goofy.

Did you have those rims plugged and re-drilled? I always thought the lug pattern on those rims were 5x120...
Anyhow, I think it looks good...however, those rims would look better on a TL. The VIP Style doesn't look right on a CL.

I think that it looks bad A$$!!!!!!
I'm supprised to see that wheel being 9.5" wide and still being able to fit under the fenderwells even with a 50 offset
Looks good in my opinion. I love the Black on Chrome
