still at the dealer back in 09:


with my old CBR600RR:



new A-Specs:



35% suntek carbon tint all around and 6" strip:



8000K HID:


goodies:


springs/dampers in:


fsb:


if you wonder if you should get SS lines, just get them...rubber expands, SS not so much



frozen endlinks? cut em!:




3gd rotors with the coating still on:





badges before, note: the a-hole that badged the "3.2CL" used super glue, the other badges were normal adhesive



after, also replaced red 3rd brake like with clear:


I think I did a pretty good job removing the super glue, 1500,3000 grit, high cut compound, low cut, polish, wax



obligatory artsy shot:

Looks bad ass! the wheel and rotor combo is awesome!!! Not to mention yanking off those gold emblems!!

Looks great.



edit: I like your celtics license plate too!!

eneffex

thanks, I just don't think the gold kit goes well with AM, and I had a hell of a time getting the super glue off.

were taking home 18 this year then I'll have to get a new license plate haha

Thankyou for removing the gold emblems. Did you destroy them after they came off?

eneffex

haha, still have them, will probably throw them on BM in case someone else wants them, I also have brand new silver OEM "ACURA" and "3.2CL" as well as 3g TL "TypeS" badges

What lug nuts are you using on those wheels? They look to be tuner nuts, and the seat is most likely conical. All OEM wheels need an acorn seat lug nut, unless of course you are running the adapters on them.

Gold Emblems on AM...ewww!

Looking good now though! Did you change out the gold on the front grille too?

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

how much you want me to pay you to destroy them ? paypal ready

eneffex

yup, got these:

edit, won't let me link for some reason, but I got them from club rsx

eneffex

I'm not greedy I won't charge you more than MSRP lol

eneffex

my thoughts exactly, but they do look nice on a red CL with the right wheels.

yup, I did change the front grille, mainly because someone clipped my bumper, but I got a new front grille and head lights out of it =P

Nice progress man! I'm glad you got rid of gold emblems.
AM FTW!!!

Im running the same adapters when I have the winter wheels on. Saves me from having to find the OEM lugnuts.

eneffex

nice, I was just going to use my OE lugs for the type-s wheels during winter. do you have a lock for your tuner lugs? I just feel safer with the OE's since I have a lock nut with them.

sorry didn't answer your original question, the lugs are forged DGR, they were a limited run of 10 sets in this bronze color (paint code mess up) also DGR offers lifetime warranty against chipping and fading, so you can just send them in and get new ones!

Im running the Kics R26 neo-chrome with locks. I love them, but I do think I shouldve gone with the R40s.

installing the supercomputers type s pedals, AEM cai and scanguageII this weekend

iTrader: (1)

Don't you just love getting parts in the mail.

Have you considered the corsport shifter aluminum bushings? those are the best mods you can get, driving wise.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Im assuming theyre automatic since the pedals are for an auto.

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

That's what his signature says.

eneffex

indeed, its like xmas everytime haha, I haven't looked into that mod, is it a fairly straight forward swap? and is it helpful for a 5AT?

yup she's a 5AT, I traded in a 7gen accord coupe, I always wanted an AM or NBP 2g 03 CL, so I couldn't pass it up. Although I wanted a 6MT, i've been happy with it.

I just moved to Boston area and sold my bike in PA so looking to pick one up here next year, that will probably fill the void for me again

eneffex

CAI installed, didn't get the bypass valve yet will add that next year, but got the pre-filter sleeve for now

eneffex

testing out hte 3G badge, not really feeling it tho, its a little too big, I am probably gonna de-badge it, what do you guys think?





got the cover too:

I would leave it debadged...
Great progress...so far, from the time I saw the first pic, you've done everything to the car I would have done to the car. Love it.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

I dont like the badge. I got one too. When I held it in my hand I said no way in hell is that going on there, its too big.

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

Thats what she said

I actually think that i will take my type s off i think looks better without one.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

I had no idea thats what I said.

iTrader: (1)

oops, thats a 6 speed only mod.

We do have a clean bodykit for this car if interested in making the CL even more unique.

Thanks for the input guys, right after I put it on thats what I thought too lol, will break out the heat gun again.

Ron, dude...I bought one of your last kits already lol

iTrader: (4)

So clean, loving your CL off man. Please tell me where you got those pedals from lol, I want those so bad. Also I wouldnt count on the Cs doing anything, looks like we having a lockout.... *sigh*

eneffex

Yeah, I got an eBay badge, I saw the pic of a OE badge and it looks smaller, even still I will leave it debadged.

thanks, I'm just trying to do tasteful mods and keep it simple, not too many go mods sincei ts a 5AT, keeping it as luxury sport as possible like it was meant to be

thanks, the pedals are from supercomputers, you can PM him.

don't even remind me about the NBA, I hope they get rid of David Stern

That thing is wayyy to big, oem ftw..

eneffex

if you're going to quote me, quote the whole thing and don't take it out of context.


my original statement.

"Yeah, I got an eBay badge, I saw the pic of a OE badge and it looks smaller, even still I will leave it debadged."

like I said it looks better debadged i wouldn't take this off and put on an OEM badge

iTrader: (4)

I had to do it man, it was just too funny, don't get mad over nothing, we all have bought an ebay item at sometime in our life.
And props for keeping it clean and tasteful/classy.
