Hope you guys like my work in progress! I need to get rid of the stock rims next!

I rain x-ed the crap out of my windshield, and I also have the driver side wiper arm in my trunk in case it starts to pour. Have not been getting too much rain out here in the ATL either.

Before I caught it, the arm splines had stripped and the passenger side arm would no longer move up and down. I guess I kinda had to remove it at least until I buy a new arm.
cool, car looks good either way

looks good, but now that i have seen an SMR with cleared headlights I'm glad we didnt do it to distorted's. the red needs that amber in there to make everything balance IMO.

Loving the drop, clean setup and beautiful photoshoot. I just got my comptech drop as well, hehe. I have about a 2 finger gap in the front, 2 1/2 finger gap in the back, but I have only had my suspension on for 5 days , roughly 200 miles, so I'm sure the back will settle in more. I looked in your mod list, did you keep the stock shocks? I installed the springs using the stock stocks and plan to upgrade later, how about you?

Yea the car looks sick with it, I picked up the comptech springs for 40 bucks with only 10k on them and installed them with the comptech sway bars and the headers in one day, let me tell you the car hugs the corners , I can't wait till I get better tires and better shocks. Here is my photoshoot, feel free to comment, it was my first photoshoot, and all I had was my phone.

Some night shots of the lights I said I would put up:
Still have the crap 9005's in the high beams, but I want to switch those to 6000k HIDs to match the headlights, and I gotta figure out something w/the turn/signal lamps. I bought white LEDs but they won't work w/the turn signals.

Holy shit! You finally lowered the damn thing! I'm glad. Now we can do a photo shoot. Well, after I wax my car. Mine's looking kinda bad right now. But soon! PM me when you wanna do a shoot, or meet up or something. May be you, Nic, and I can do something.
Oh yeah, come see me about parts. I work at Jackson Acura. I'll get you my cost on parts you need, like your wipers and what not.

hey bro i juz got a question. are those csl type spoiler? where did you get it? or does anyone know where i could get one? im not sure if the bmw cls would fit my 01 cls.

yep get on ebay and type in "acura cl lip spoiler" the guy who sells them has them for every color but you may need to send him a pm if he doesn't have your color in a current listing (i had to)... Its about 35 bucks shipped which is a deal... I LOVE the way the lip spoiler looks but I actually just took it off b/c i miss the sleak look of the bare naked trunk... Now it sucks though b/c to put it back on I have to go buy some new MMM tape.
