nice, looks just right with the silver Servos! When you get the new pics, take off the front license plate, it'll look real sharp.

Looks sweet. I definately agree with the other guys that you need to get some pipes. But the kit looks great with the wheels.

thanks for compliments! it'll be a while before i replace the exhaust. i've spent too much on my car recently as it is. and i'm not lowering it anymore, houston streets suck balls.

anyone have any SSM license plate plugs? i would like to lose the front plate.

We left the rear height where it was since we did'nt want to completely hide the exhaust. ANd besides it gives the CL a sort of sports car look with the rear just a bit higher than the sides. I think the front wheel gap is good, but the rear gap is bigger, what kind of springs? load up the trunk with a cynderblock or something to see what it will look like, lol.

Sucks that they drilled your bumper, plugs can probably be fabricated easy with aluminum or something.

Who said you couldn't ride low in Houston? Drop that thing. Looking good. What side of Houston are you from? Never see any modded CL's around here.

Comptech drop... i might take the front plate off and see what the damage is. the car came with the front plate already mounted.

Is it the old comptech springs? If im not mistaken the new comptech's are the same as eibach prokit which is what i have on my car and mine is lowered more than yours.

Sorry to hear about your holes, Im glad mine is mounted from the bottom but our plastic license plate thingy scratches the hell out of our bumpers

Dang, I'm right at Beltway and 290. We should meet up sometime. I want to see how the fitment is and how the kit looks in real life.

Haha, I've been pulled over 10 times for front plate (no joke), and have only gotten 1 ticket. The rest were warnings. Just took a picture with the front plate and dismissed. No court fee.

Yeah...this whole Texas plate law is the stupidest thing i've ever had to deal with...i've gotten two tickets for it in the past (different cars) and i still refuse to ruin the front of my car with a big piece of metal. It just ain't happenin'...

Yea, I hate having to have the front plate on, riuns the front of the car.

Why wasn't a kit piece made for the doors. In pix it just looks wrong, like a tack on, with the pieces before and after the door. I'm not a kit pro, and most people seem to think it looks right. I guess I'm not a kit type.

You'll probably have damage. I did. First thing I do with any car I get is take the front plate off! I give a damn if I get a ticket or not. Fortunately my Stealth lived its entire life in Florida where they have no front plates. It will never have one either!

Incidentally, I think it sort of depends on where you are and how much of a hard ass the cops are. I've not been pulled over once in Houston. Have a friend who lives in Fort Bend area and has been pulled over twice and received a ticket for it.
