they look really good... how do they feel... the oem seats in my cl feel so much better than the ones in my slk... OMG

and what r u doing to the center console trim bro?

 

Nice! Got any more pics? Any info on modding the rails?

 

Damn, those look nice. Thanks for being the first one to take the plunge and do them, now everyone knows how they look in the car

 

a lot sportier than our seats, but no where as comfortable. do sit a bit lower than the factory, but not much. have a good feel.

feel pretty good, but i dont how much my bad back can handle with these.

this is what i did with the trim, painted them nbp along with the 03 side mirrors




Now, iive got 2 sets of silver trim, and one nbp. I think i'll wrap one of the silver trim with the 3M CF wrap.

havent taken any more pics, may be after the interior detail.
as far as modding rails go, the brackets bolt off of the CL rails, but are riveted in on the RSX seat, so you will have to grind those off and then bolt the CL brackets in and put the RSX seat on top and weld the bracket in that spot.

Thanks.

 

them thats sweet ride

 

....thanks for the update Nauman!

 

where did you get the headlight housing? i have been looking everywhere

 

those are 2003 Headlights. Very hard to find used. u might have to buy them new.

 

on my way to the meet, the bumper decided to take a shit again. couldnt take all the wind






took it off and shoved it in the trunk



then rolled to the meet





more pics of the seats







you can actually see how long our cars are once you look at them from top







And one short video

Say your prayers little one
Dont forget, my son
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
keep you free from sin
till the sandman he comes....



Seats look great. Your SRS light is on though. Were you unable to wire in the airbags?

 

x2 on the seats. They make the interior look way more sporty. I expected to see a faster 0-60 run out of this car than what was shown. What was the outside temperature?

 

Heavy wheels will do that sort of thing.

 

its been on from before i put on the RSX airbag. need to replace the unit itself. i havent plugged in anything under the seat yet. still need to spray over the welds put the seats together right, clean and grease up the rails.

It wasnt the best run. Just one run and wasnt done right.
In the first gear, for the most part, instead of paying attention to the car, i was making sure the camera is catching it right. Also the road was pretty shitty. 3rd gear not pushing it all the way

But i'll see if can get a good one.

 

Nauman! You know ur crazy... rite?

Thanks for the pics... I know yall had fun!!!

Wifey was at the house getting all ready for the trick or treaters and getting dinner ready and spiffin up the house... the peeps she invited over didnt show, but some of our son's friend came over to hang out...

Carlos and I did not get back from Alvin until 8pm... they won 2, tied 1 and lost 1 this weekend... I am so tired, I cannot explain it!

 

That's cool Rick. Try to come to the austin meet.

Back to the car, I fixed the bumper for the most part. The CL is going to the body shop for the rear bumper, some body work and then respray, also respray the roof and the pillars.

I also need to get new clips/brackets for the rear bumper.

 

Nice.

Did you remove the bumper tabs that hold the sides on near the wheel?

 

Yeah, i had to cut the tabs.
just need to get my lazy ass to make another location for them, about 1" farther. Also need to cut the fenders more so it doesnt rub as much.


what else is messed up is that yesterday at the meet we were talking about how shitty the stereo units are, they always go bad and guess what. An hour later, mine took a dump and all my 6 CDs are stuck in it now. More time to spend on the car that i dont have.

 

That sucks. I hate the stock stereo. It sounds like crap.

 

Yup. Mine crackles if i turn my ipod up too high

 

i'm not too big in to audio stuff thats why all my av stuff is stock.
but i think i might just throw something in there.

this car has became a black hole for the money for me.
ive spent more on it in the last 2-3 months than i probably did in the whole year. and more is to come , not too many mods, but every little thing that keeps breaking down.

 

I know how you feel.

At least for me, its not that the car is unreliable, its that Im never happy with it. And if something does break, its usually my fault anyway.

 

Stock stereos

Actually, it's decent for an OEM system of this year. IMO.

But yeah throw a 10" in there and an aftermarket deck.

Let me know (PM me) if you need a great deal on a custom box for the CL.

 

If I can fix my Pioneer deck Ill let you get dibs if you want it

 

lol this became a FS thread. I think I only need a sub. I do have all the audio stuff sitting around though.
Morgan and Stephan, are those double din units?

but i'm not gonna buy anything until the end of the month. i got paid few days ago and broke already.

 

Man I love ur car .. Find me 1 to buy lol

 

when i turned the car on yesterday, the head unit automatically started ejaculating the cds.

so its working fine now. I remember it got stuck on a CD that kept skipping, turned out the cd is all scratched up inside. I'm not sure why that would cause it to not let me change to another cd or eject any earlier.

 

Get any on ya???

 

it didnt have enough speed. so we know the unit is old

 

 

lol i dont use my CD because its slowing down the songs and makes the sound funny. i need new unit i was looking at eclipse but im kinda broke and it is on hold for now... they cut hours no more overtime and that sucks. i have 2din in dash trim(?) ready but i cant spend 500$ for just a HU

and @

 

This car has come a longgg way, great to see it still progressing

 

^Thanks.

its at the body shop getting roof, pillars, trunk, left quarter, and the rear bumper painted.

 

Just ordered these plates



that was the cheapest option for me for now.

 

Nice. I'm not sure that people are going to know that the "36" refers to your liters though

 

i'm not worried about that.


and guys, lets not derail my thread

 

its all painted and came out really good. My buddy is coming in tomorrow to detail the car one more time before the meet.
I'll post more pictures later on!

 

 

Nice progress

 

Pics?

 

Favorite CL I've seen for sure.
