Can you go lower? I think that would improve the look of the whole car.

Paint can discolor and flake off while powdercoating is thick and is very hard to take off. Gunmetal face with a polished lip would look dope

Times have changed since the first wave of cl owners. Nowadays 95 percent of fwd Acura owners have staggered setups. It is considered cool for some reason now, kinda like when kriss kross wore all their clothes backwards. Gotta be careful on here I get flamed everytime I say I don't like staggeredon fwd.

It's a fair comment and also think you're right that there's probably a new generation of owners.

Me personally, I was against it for the longest time but recently pulled the trigger on a new setup that happens to be staggered.

Definitely know that it wasn't good on a FWD but I think personally I just decided to run the course on my CL and just do whatever at this point.

I'll probably just experiment with the CL more than I originally planned since I don't care about resale value anymore.

I'd ditch this set of wheels [Not worth refinishing] and get something else with more aggressive specs if you're trying to achieve a "hellaflush" look.

Have you ever checked out the Hellaflush blog?

EDIT: Compare "flush"



VS. Your current setup.

Yeah man...you're gonna get hated on if you do decide to go with something like takata green.

That's just - Especially on a silver car.

And you can't be considered "hella flush" without getting your fitment dialed in a lot more in relation to your lowered stance.

Car needs a drop.

I always thought hella flush was when you were basically on the bump stops with the wheels like 1 mm away from the fender.

for some reason I just can't stand hella flush for those reasons.

Re-stating the obvious, you're leagues from being hellaflush. Go to the blog, look at those cars. It's called hellaflush for a reason, kindaflush doesn't work with these people. It has to be perfect.

You guys are so focused on the hellaflush that you are overlooking the worst part, he wants bright green wheels on a silver cl. My suggestion is one green, one pink, one orange, and one purple wheel. Then you can color your brake calipers. Purple caliper behind orange wheel, pink caliper behind green wheel etc. That should get you the attention you have ways desired.
