Wow is right.

I like the exhaust tips and the trunk spoiler. They did a decent job with the work. But its still hideous. Since Acura isnt in Asia (or anywhere outside NA) why did they choose a CL? They needed to import it.

Maybe its the same place that dephiled an NSX and turned it into an "F50".

Its a good thing is an auto, otherwise Id be reeeeaaaallly pissed.

It is nicely done. The idea sucks, but the execution was great. It doesnt look like a cut and paste job.

Horrible idea, great execution.

If I had a CL, and could afford to do that to it, but I wanted an SLR...I'd use the money invested in that to buy one.

who ever worked on the car did do a good job trying to produce the look.
The rear looks sweet.The front looks like it has a dam beak on it.

Maybe that's birdmans new benz.

hahahaha car looks hideous! With the amount of money invested to make it look like an SL you can do so much more to make the car look great itself.

I'm sure a lot of time, effort, and money was put into that, but I'm not feeling it whatsoever. Ew.

I'll take a stock CL please.

Reminds me of the G35 front end conversion I saw on a 1G CL. But if the doors don't open like the SLR then what's the point :shakehead

Glean then good from it and you get: Brembo GT brakes, Work Euroline SLs, Widebody Qtr Panel/Fender Flares, Custom Kit Front/Side/Rear Valence/Spoiler, Custom Hood, Custom Quad Tips.

If anyone on this forum had those mods, I'd be pretty impressed.
