wow Tyler, i must say your car did a pretty big overhaul from the last time i saw it ( VA greatfalls meet). Very clean! tails look very nice!

Liquidflex81

great looking car dude! is a roof spoiler in your future plans? i think it would set your aspec kit off PERFECTLY, with a deck lid spoiler as well!

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Thanks man! I didn't think my car would come along this far since then but I'm not complaining

You going to East Coast Honda next month? I think we are trying to get a huge caravan to roll up there.

Thank you sir!

Personally I'm not a huge fan of the roof spoiler. I think it looks great on other member's rides, but I wouldn't want it on my car. I'm trying to keep the car sleek and clean and I feel like the roof spoiler sort of interrupts the sleek look of the top half of the car. Just my opinion though.

I will be getting the lip spoiler though. Not sure exactly when but hopefully within the next year. I can afford everything on my "<1 year mod list" right now, but I need to let all of my recent mods sink in. I don't want to get bored with the car anytime soon. I'm keeping her until she bites the dust

I'll hopefully be bringing a few members from NC.

And I like the Type-S lip but I don't want it on my car. I will just be getting the 04-06 lip.

Gorgeous car. Envy you!!
WDP with black emblems ftw

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Thanks man!

I hated how WDP looked with chrome-like emblems. Since most of the parts on the outside of the car are either black or dark colored, I thought black emblems would give a nice contrast and somewhat break up the white.

The car is looking really good, keep it up.

Added anything to your whip since the last time I saw it?

Damn Tyler, you've been busy! Your car is looking better and better, keep it up! I'm getting jealous already btw, I love the CL

Taillights are legit Sooooo much better looking then the blacked out ones. I really want to see them in person cuz I still haven't decided what to do with my taillights but you know me, power mods first then I'll work on improving the looks

HOCKEYMAN23

Very nice work man...love seeing the progress. Car looks real clean. The WDP type s lip spoiler would look sick on your car. And if you want to shine those exhaust tips up...some wd-40 and flitz or mother's mag polish will do the trick great. I had the same black stuff on mine, came off with some effort & polishing.

CLtotheTL32

Thanks Alex! I miss my CL-S TL's are a dime a dozen around here. I'll see maybe one CL a week.

I love the tails too! They look much much much better than my last set. Whenever you decide to do a set for your car, buy a set of OEM tails, not DEPO. My fitment is off. Not terrible but without a doubt noticeable in person.

And do you make the TL faster so it makes up for the Volvo?

Thank you!

You can't tell in the pictures but the car is filthy. It had rained two days in a row before the pictures were taken, hence the dirty tailpipes. I use Bar Keepers Friend to clean them and that stuff is awesome!

I really like the 04-06 lip spoiler but you are the 2nd or 3rd person to mention the Type-S one. I may have to look into it now.

Oh damn, I'll keep that in mind! I've never had luck with DEPO/aftermarket parts, I try to buy OEM if it doesn't break the bank.

And the Volvo lol oh man the Volvo, I'm not driving it anymore It's sitting in the driveway with a flat tire and I'm trying to sell it If I get at least $500 I'll be happy!

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Fitment isn't terrible, but it's not exactly what I had in mind. The DEPO tails were fine until I put them on the car.

Aw poor Volvo. I would buy it from you if I had the money. I've been thinking about making the TL the garage queen and getting some little dookie shit to drive around. I've put 26k miles on the TL in less than two years.

jizzleman

tyler what did u use to get the remaining residue off after removing the pin strip...i cant seem to get some of it off and its workn my nerve!

jizzleman

ill probably do the heads, tails, and side markers all at the same time!

alexSU

iTrader: (3)

I don't think you would want this Volvo, I ummm...kinda..maybe put it through "tough times" lol basically I beat the shit out of it, got mad air, went offroading..etc

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Do you really want to know?

Oven cleaner.

My pinstripe was paint, not vinyl. I got on Google with Roger from the meet and looked up how to remove it. Basically you spray some oven cleaner on a Q-tip, rub it over the pinstripe, and let it sit for 2 minutes. Then take a soft towel or some shit, apply pressure, and rub it off.

Damn son! That's going to be a long few days in the garage. Good luck

Good god man.

I can't remember where you are from, but here in America, we use trucks to go off-roading, not Volvos

alexSU

iTrader: (3)

I use what I got wanted a truck, ended up buying a Volvo. That poor thing has been through hell and back, still running too lol

Oh Booo Hooo.. I'm at over 40k in less than 2 years.. At this rate it will be 50 before I hit 2 yrs

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

You're crazy man! At least it still runs. I'm not sure how much longer it will though.

After everything I've posted in this thread, that's all you had to say?

You put on that many miles because you live so damn far from work. Plus you drive to Cary quite a bit whenever I need help with mods

BoBByLiGhT83

iTrader: (1)

Ehhh, it's the only thing I've felt like responding too. I only live 32 miles from work. Not very far. I think driving to Cary to help your slow ass has put more miles on my car than anything

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Not even anything about the tails? I see how it is.

32 miles one way? I drive 17 one way to school every morning.

And you've only come to my house twice to help with shit. Headlights and front lip.

jizzleman

well damn!

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Have you tried Goo Gone?

Do you have an orbital buffer you could get out and put to work?

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Well if we're having a pissing match you don't want to know my mileage

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Your car is a year older. Therefore it is disqualified

jizzleman

nah guess ima try it...the buffer is in Charlotte...not sure if i have one here...gotta check the garage...thanks tho

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Im just talking about the mileage I put on it since I bought it

alexSU

iTrader: (3)

So...back to Tyler's TL lol

Do the taillights get condensation in them like the headlights if you open them up?

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Good luck man

Shoot me a number Morgan. You bought your CL-S in 08 correct? I'll say 45k.

If you don't seal them up properly, then yes. Daniel used plastic epoxy followed by a thick layer of silicone, the same silicone Jason and I used to seal up the headlights.

One thing I am running into, because of the fitment with the DEPO tails, is water sitting on top of the light. It's not a big deal, and it evaporates eventually, but it's frustrating to have the rest of the car dry and then have water there. Here's a picture for reference:



Not terrible but noticeable.


Anyways since this is MY thread, I can whore out my car

More pictures after the wash earlier today:









As you can see in that last picture, the tailpipes got a treatment with Bar Keepers Friend. That shit works wonders.

I'll be painting the inside of the tailpipes sometime this summer.

The black tails on the WDP look amazing I want a white car now. Maybe Ill buy Nicks CL and swap all my parts to it

I got my car August 8, 2008 with 56,6xx. I was at 113,5xx when I got home from the meet the other day. Ill be putting another 300 on it tomorrow

alexSU

iTrader: (3)

Nice and shiny!! You sir need a lip spoiler or how about a roof spoiler?

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Thanks Morgan! I think a white car with black parts is the way to go.

I saw his CL-S for sale. I'm tempted but I would want a 6-speed swap and a new engine. Not cheap.

Damn you drive a shit ton. That's insane.

Lip spoiler is on my to-do list! I'm not a huge fan of roof spoilers though. I feel the top of the car flows really well and a spoiler only interrupts that look.

Just my of course.

+1 for lip spoiler
