your car looks real tight bro...i guess it makes up for some of your cocky responses in the past..haha

im not sure how i feel about the roof spoiler, my personal opinion is that it takes away from the sexxxy sleek design of the CL...either way, its not that much of an eye sore, i'd hit it up and down the block...keep up the good work

Be sure to re-take a pic from this angle. ( Realized that was a "no duh" comment as i was typing it. )



I'm toying w/ the idea of taking my lip off too. I dont know if i like it 100% from the rear like above^^^, i like it from all other angles, such as belowVVV etc.

BTW looking clean!! i don't even know if i've replied in this thread or not with as much as i've looked in it.

I seriously debated FI or the 3.5L; haven't ruled either option out of the question just yet, but we'll see. Not sure if I want to throw FI into a car with a glass tranny.

^ i've personally seem some S/C kits installed at dealerships, with the labor rates they charge, i would assume that warranty would be honored.

I personally would never run a staggered wheel setup. At the end of the day, it's still a Honda, and running staggered wheels on a Honda doesn't really do it for me. Staggering the offsets, on the other hand = Down the line, I'll probably be attempting a set of 19x9.5 wheels, but for now, my interior overhaul is much higher of a priority.

yeah stag set up is :ghey: even though i run it, that's what you get if you want stag in 2nd hand. gotta order new to get what you actually want.

9.5 in front is doable, some guy is running 9.5 +55 (w/ spacer of course) so it brings it down to +40 or 45. 225 tire....

personally, since it seems like you know what spec wheel you want, your best bet is to buy new custom spec wheels and avoid all these "obstacles".

i'm 9.5" wheels "work", but does it look good? my personal opinion is that stretch tires is one thing, but there exists a thin line between the VIP style and the lowrider steez. for me, maybe it's the angle of the wheels in your parking lot pictures, but it looks to me your last set of wheels looked better than your current ones. granted you have more lip, but doesn't really do anything for me.

besides phil, nothing beats the feeling of have new wheels with blue tape in your living room. you should try it some time, and stop picking up people's sloppy seconds.
