Damn I wish I could do that right now, I hate this weather...
Looks good, and you said it 4 x 4 is right, hope you don't have rubbing issues with those wheels cause it looks those TL wheels look sic on your ride, they just poke out a bit

Looks real good, mine is covered in 1/8" thick layer of salt/dirt right now, and its like 15* out so no way I'm washing it anytime soon.

And btw the Tokico's arent height adjustable, only dampening. Only the Koni yellows have two perches for different height. Or get coilovers.

That's some nerve saying you're doing "winter cleaning" in south Florida.

However, your car looks good dude. It would look better with some TSX wheels though.

I wish I could get out there and clean my CL. Too f-ing cold out there.

yeah you gotta love the weather here, its been cold here lately tho, with lows in like 50's in the morn. ya i know you all think thats perfect but for a cracker like me thats pushin it!

ya ravi, i know the TSX's would look better, im workin on it, gotta give them some time. they're hard to come by when trading.

I like the "A". Looks good. I think it would look even better with a subtle tint on the tails.

they came on the car actually, yes they are 17s, they are 235/45/17, they do stick out a little bit though. if your planning on dropping the car then i would not really recammend them. um... check the black market, there is usually some on there for around 500 or so i think
