NH-643M's 2003 CL-S 6MT

After half a decade of wanting a CL-S 6MT, I picked up this NH-643M yesterday. (Yes, I bought a 3.2 on 3/2.) I don't have any plans for this car other than maintenance, throwing on the TL-S Honeycomb wheels that came with the car and trying to source the OEM black burlwood interior trim.

Thank you all! I definitely don't want to get bitten by the mod bug, but I know how it goes. I think that I have the entire C-T Engineering product line memorized. Oops. She has 141,xxx miles. The only other mods are LED bulbs in the interior, and dimpled/slotted rotors. It looks everything has been replaced with OEM parts. There's even Honda blue coolant in there. For the sake of anyone trying to sell a CL-S, I probably shouldn't post what I paid.

Thank you! The awesome thing is that this car was not advertised as having navigation. It was a pleasant surprise. These were in the back seat & trunk.

Thank you. I'm so excited to see what the TL-S wheels look like on Anthracite. I'm trying to do something about that ancient version 2.05a navigation disc from 2001. Only 8 more hours to go...

IMO they won't look good. I'm not really one for wheels that color match the car and the style just doesn't flow with the lines of the CL as opposed to the TL. Someone had posted pics a while back of them on their CL. It's all subjective obviously though

Grats on the car. Hard to say if the wheels look good cause all you look at is the 4x4 wheel gap. That thing needs a drop really bad.

I was never a fan of the TL-S waffle wheels, but a drop would help it out. Sometimes I wish I got an anthracite CL.

Thanks for the feedback. I definitely see the point about the wheel gap, but I think that it is for the best because the roads that I drive on are complete garbage. Rather than fixing massive potholes and roads in various states of disrepair, the state would rather spend their money on a controversial toll highway.

Why don't you show more pics of the interior already. I want to see the pics of the Nav / Onstar mirror, etc. Enough of the waffle wheels.

No need to get your panties in a wad.

OP congrats on the CL!

It's all good. I'm fine with the ride height because my area has poorly maintained roads. There are 6 speed bumps in my neighborhood. :thumbsdow

School let out so I did some cleaning. Here are your shots, 5thgen. I zipped and uploaded the 2003 CL Press Information CD >here<. It's a good read.
