So, although I won't have TOO much money, I'm atleast going to do a couple little things to the CL this summer (LEDs, Type S cluster, etc.) And since none of them will warrant a FULL thread, I figured an ongoing one wouldn't be a bad idea.

So i'll be updating this everyonce and a while with pictures and progress.

Anyways, I'm leaving for west palm beach for an internship w/ the State Attorney's office this week until August, so if anyone is down that way let me know. Anyways, just washed her up this afternoon for the trip down. Enjoy.

loopey dude

I believe that it is a custom molded TL lip kit

for some reason the kit looks off one your car.

adlx21

the colors dont seem to match

evan03CL

if you're talking about the colors of the lip to the car, they don't. I haven't gotten them professionally painted yet. I have to wait till I'm off loans to afford it.

kyle77777

man... you should have lowered the car a long time ago. Its the only reason why the car looks "off". Before investing money on anything else in your car, you need to lower it.

props for that.........

nice work with the lip kit, looks really clean...and that's cool that you're enjoying modding however you can and enjoying the summer, that's what it's all about

i'm sure you have a suspension setup in mind at some point for ur ride in the future...it's going to look great slammed...

Yeah no such thing as ground effects for the CL.

That is a custom molded OEM lip kit from a 2nd Gen TL.

More info. can be acquired from searching the 2nd Gen CL forum.

So I did a bit of work today with the packages I've gotten in the mail. First I replaced all my puddle lamps w/ LEDs (night time pics will be later), and second I got my Type-S cluster in. I gutted the cluster and took out the gauge faces and slapped them into my CL-P cluster. Think it turned out pretty well, all functioning, and didn't have to do any of that odometer swap or anything like that since I just took the faces out. Enjoy



Say goodbye to the old black faces



And hello to the new white ones!

Nice. Much better.

I forgot CL-P has black face gauges.

You should get some Type S seats.

^ TL lip kit.

If you search under evan03CL's other threads you can find out more info. on what he did.

evan03CL

I got a Type S gauge cluster from ebay for about 45 dollars shipping included. And then the gauge faces (by faces I mean the needles, faces, needle motors, etc.) the whole unit just pops out of the cluster. There are little metal tabs that you need to bend out to release them, but then you just swap the three black gauges for the white gauges. This allows you to not get that TCS/TSA light that people always talk about, you won't have the temp. gauge problems, and you get to keep your same odometer reading, etc.

It's about 5 extra minutes to devote instead of just swapping the cluster, but its well worth it.

teinCL

so the type-s gauge cluster includes needles, faces and motors? do u have a write up of this mod?

teinCL

also, after a quick ebay search, the only gauge clusters i found were silver...which is wrong...should be white

evan03CL

The silver gauges i think are privately made, and they're just "overlays", so its like a piece of paper you're sticking over your stock gauge. I've never seen anyone with them, I'm not really sure who is buying them.

Here's the type S gauge

heres another

AND ANOTHER!

haha anyways..

no I don't have a write but...but honestly, you don't need it. here's a quick one

1. take the gauge bezel out (it pops out)
2. unclip all the wiring harnesses
3. unscrew the gauge cluster
4. pop off the plastic covering
5. un-bend the metal clips on the back of the gauges
6. take out the black gauges
7. put in the white gauges


I did this without a write up, so you'll be fine!

teinCL

word, thats whats up. thanks man.
