Hey wassup guys,
as you all know my cars been through a lot these past few months and now its in the shop. The whole front end is off the rear bumper and tail lights are off. I've sanded down my whole car with 600 grit so all is left is the radiator support. The thing is im painting it a totally different color and i need some help.

Choices:
07 RL Premium White Pearl Tricoat
05 TL Diamond Pearl White

any other suggestions would help and i will be posting pictures tonight.

 

Championship White FTMFW!

 

^Just looks like ordinary white to me.. it's more of a "omgawd, I have championship white" bragging rights.

I'd just opt for that Lexus white with blue pearl. That shiet looks bonkers.

 

*Subscribed*

Nice to see ya still working on the CL Victor.

Lexus White is nice...and +1 on some colored pearl in there.

 

dark emerald pearl...

if not, RL white or takata green

 

+2 for the Lexus Pearl white.

 

yea that lexus pearl white is nice

 

i like the tl pearl white because i like how gunmetal rims look on it. Im going to have this paint custom made with more blue pearls i think that'll look nice many of my boys already have that lexus pearl white but i dont really like it. I finally get to get my SSR Professor SP1.

 

Sick...!

 

You have another vote for the Lexus white pearl. It has a gorgeous blueish tint to it when light hits it at a certian angle. Sort of how the yellow pearl comes out on the WDP TL's. It looks awesome and very clean.

 

the difference is the price. The lexus pearl white is very expensive thats the color i really wanted but 3 of my other boys have this same color and as i see its getting played out. My boy painted a 350z, 1st gen gs300, and a civic that color. Paint alone is 700 without clear. The TL paint is only 400. I want to do something different while keeping it within acura specs. Radiator support is going in today.

 

Yea that's understandable. I didn't know it was becoming so popular.

Go for WDP then

 

Here are some pictures, as of today the radiator support is in and car is in paint.









this is how my car looked before i took the suspension off:

 

Damn you are lowwwwwww. Looks awesome.

What color did you decide to go with?

 

Hey Victor,

Since you were repainting the car, did you do anything different with the body?

 

I've decided to go with a custom White Diamond Blue Pearl. I wanted it with the blue pearls. The body of the car is still stock, with a sarona roof spoiler and the rear spoiler shaved. I like the stock look of the car, just want to slam it. Maybe in the near future run the 99-01 TL lip kit. Next the car will get its new suspension and the rims on.

 

Sick...when is it going to be ready so I can come check it out?

Also... we need a photoshoot!

What's the new suspension and which rims are you going with?

Are they the same wheels you had already or did you sell those?

 

Hopefully i can get all this finished within the next 2 weeks. Car is getting prepped for paint as i speak. after paint ill leave it for a day or two for the paint to heal then wetsand and buff. As for suspension ill be going with the F2's and the wheels are SSR PROFESSOR SP1 yes they are the same set of wheels finally getting some tires on them. Also my trunk is getting a custom box because im trying to fit a 10" solo X in there. So the car should be all done by the end of the 2 weeks.

 

Right on!!!!!

Sounds so sick.

Going ported, bandpass, sealed on the box?

F2's are going to look sick on there.

What finish on the SP1's?

Can't wait to see the finished CL.

 

sneek peek of the wheels on the car sorry about the bad quality but you get the idea. the system will be ported im going to be making some custom ports going through the rear deck. Ill try to get more pictures once the car is done but ill have update pictures also. thanks and stay tuned.





19x9.5 with a 55 offset. Really high offset so im going to run 15mm project kics in the front and 20mm in the rear.

 

 

A little update: Car still hasnt been repainted waiting on a new rear bumper, wheels now have tires, f2 coilovers already ordered. Just waiting on some more funds so i can get the roof spoiler. and here is what i miss.....





Driving my car.

 

nice plans! just keep us updated w/ pics

 

will do my friend. trying to finish everything up before winter hits

 

you have winter's in Cali?

 

you beat me to it i was about to comment on that lol.

 

as in when it starts raining because once it rains the wheels are coming off.

 

weren't those wheels on s2ki or clublexus for awhile? I forget where i've seen 'em

 

ive had them for about a year and a half already just havent had time and money for tires.

 

I say Laguna Seca Pearl.

 

my color has already been chosen. i havent seen a pearl white cl around and i want the oem acura wdp custom mixed with blue pearls.

 

Set up looks good can't wait to see the after paint and wheels !

 

got an update, tires are on but theres a big delay. The stupid tire shop was suppose to pay me so i can finish up the car and pay the shop for fixing the front end. Now they want to take it to court so my project has been put on halt. I want to get the wheels on but without my new suspension im just going to wait. They think they're going to win the law suit, now they have to pay double of what i was asking in the first place. That means maybe that s/c in the black market might be mines.


oh yeah the sarona roof spoiler should be coming in within the next few days and also the m3 trunk spoiler.
next will be the suspension.

 

I forgot to mention im not going with the 2nd tl lip kit anymore im going no kit just slammed. trying to rim tuck these 9.5's

 

so the car has been finished painting now to get the money and get my car finished. I love the paint it came out exactly how i pictured it. Im going to try to get it wetsanded and buffed and ill post some pictures so you guys can see how much blue pearls in there.

 

Nice Victor. Can't wait to see it in person.

 

 

nice wheel choice

 

Pics or it didnt happen.

 

nice drop
