New Additions to the CL
over the weekend, my friend and i added front and rear infinity kappa speakers, blacked out the chrome trim around the window area, and added '03 door handles. Also brought the car to the shop to have llumar film applied to the windows. 20% in the front and 15% in the rear. thanks for your help man! ENJOY!

How hard was it to do the trim and exactly what did you use. I might try it too. DIY Write up, please!

What did the door handles cost you?

I now drive an accord....
Did you hook the factory tweeters back up? If so thats probably why your treble is soo loud. You really should have put a new component set in the front
Looks good though

What are the model numbers for these speakers? Does their impedance match the stock impedance for each set of speakers? I only ask because Crutchfield doesn't list any speakers for the '03 CLS.

Black out the headlights, taillights, and get black rims. It would be complete stealth. It would like one of those spooky cars in the movies where the car is alive and you can't see a driver. Nice job!
