so i just picked up another ride. instead of my old 02 aegean i picked up an 03 w/ navi heres some pictures. I still have my cl-s but i have to repaint the car once again. i hit a god damn trash can on the fast lane of the freeway and my bumper got torn up. if you guys can help me narrow down that wire that goes behind the passenger fender that would be very helpful.







btw ill take those ugly rims off. ill update with pictures of both cars once both are out of the shop my cl is almost done ill keep you guys updated.

Are those both daily drivers or is the TL getting that duty? Btw didnt post before but i like the color choice, wheels and rl calipers. You got any recent pics or waiting for the repaint? Are you still trying to sell that rj body kit? If you are going to repaint I would suggest getting the rj kit molded on. I really like how it looks molded. I would probably mold the front and rear and skip molding the sides myself tho. It would be cheaper and i would be worried it would get damaged when shops put it on the lift.

both will be daily's for awhile i might put the cl-s away for shows and what not the tl will be mild modded until i have money then it will be receiving a 6 speed swap. As for the rj kit i sold that days ago the rear lip was torn and i didnt have time to repair it. i'm on the look out for the 99-01 tl lip kit trying to get that together before the car is out of the shop. the cl has the front and rear end off awaiting sanding and paint. btw both cars will be sharing rims if nobody picks up my ssr's the tl is already dropped on comptech springs

bringing this thread back to life. As you all know by now my cl-6 was totaled and i picked up a 01 cl auto. Just last month the blue tl-s threw a tranny code. As of yesterday my 6 speed was towed to the shop and i stripped the whole car. This swap is going into the TL. Im so excited and can't wait till this is done. TL is in the shop motor will be out tomorrow and the swap will begin. Wiring seems like the hardest part of the swap since ill have to pull the whole dash to run the cluster and ecu wires. Ill have pictures up really soon so stay posted guys.

btw ssr sp1's, my rl calipers, and suspension will all be going on the TL.

yes its been a long few years with all these mods ive been wanting to do but i think swapping it into a tl will be more valuable then swapping it into a cl.

good news the swap was successful im driving the car as we speak. i still have a few wiring issues to fix. the speedo isnt working, radio, seat heaters, navi, srs ( passenger seat belt buckle), downstream o2 sensor. i think itll be another month or so to get this running right. If anyone has any input on which clutch i should purchase for a budget price i was thinking the exedy oem clutch kit but which flywheel? i dont need anything aggressive just something in the budget to get this running right first. Ill post pictures stay tune.
