I really like the wing too! Props for originally not forgetting the most original part - the 6-speed conversion of course!

Thanks. I still have a special touch to the front to do, and some repainting, and to put the oem kit on.

yup those rims are sweet... but i was thinking, when you drop your going to need a raked spring setup no? because of the lighter tranny? if im correct in my thinking an even drop would keep the front end higher than the rear?

looking on the H&R site they actually have no springs for the CL (00-03)...

anddd... be sure to tell us how the 6spd does when you hit your first event this year

i'm thinking of taking the TL out to a track day since the teg is not ready

Actually i thought it sat higher myself but i measured another members car last week and mine is the exact same height as his in teh front so im thinking it will be alright once lowered. I will. I have one coming up soon (missed one 2 weekends ago)

unfortunately its not a simple fix. You have to sand the fender smooth and then repaint it.
