Sorry bro....

well lets just say i read only the 1st page.....and they were asking for the after picture not knowing that the CL comes with huge wheel gap and the drop you had was pretty good....hence I said "whatever floats your boat"....

sorry i didnt realize the thread had progressed a lot after that....

Hate when people do that, where the front end overlaps the parking space line

I can tell you want your wheels to look big....esp since you keep saying "the car needs 18's"

All of the wheel choices you've made are very busy, making the wheels look small.

The simpler the wheel, the bigger it will look.

My 18's looked like 19's on the Comptech drop.

Wow that's a NICE CL bro. Blacking out the window surrounds goes a looong way ti improving the look. I did 18's (Bronze Volk SE37A's) on my previous CL-S6 on H&R springs. But i notice rims with a polished lip tend to look an inch smaller than their true size.

Thats why i bought 17s without a lip! i bought the car with new tires so i decided didnt want to buy 18s and have to get new tires . That is a nice CL though, too bad my front tints had to come off

lol! I have those black valve stem caps too, except mine just have the "A" logo on them.

You might be able to slow down instead of speed up when you see a yellow light

Might be the angle of the picture, if you look at the other pics i have the drop looks pretty even. And in 3.5 years of driving , i havent touched a curb with any car I've driven so far, so im not worried at all.

So I get out of school to find this!







Does anyone know if this will be cheaper to fix or replace the bumper? Also, if anyone is selling a NBP 03 bumper let me know!!!

pearl is gonna be more expensive then say, san marino red or ssm. so im not sure about the price. but buying a new bumper that already primed will be cheaper to paint than one that is painted a diff color and might have some scratches or nicks.
