Recent pics of 03 AM w/ few new mods

I did a few new mods to the CL and thought I would post some pics I took on a recent vacation to Ocean City, MD. Not the best probably, but I'm no photographer. Over the last 2 months, i've upgraded my h&r springs to tein basics along with ingall's rear camber kit, and just got a brand new set of 07-08 base tl wheels. I've wanted these for years..like literally since they came out, just had a vision of my cl slammed on them. IMO look so much better than the 04-06 style which I've seen on quite a few cls but I don't recall ever seeing the 07-08 style aside from maybe one cl a long ago and I forgot how it looked. I recently got new tires (conti 235/45 extremecontact dw) so the tires swapped right over which was a big plus and a big reason why I didn't go bigger.. something along the lines of 18-19", but who knows what the future will hold. In my opinion, these wheels look AWESOME on a cl, it made me love it all over again. Aggressive, clean, yet still factory esque at the same time. Before you all ask it's auto.. still on original trans with just over 130k *fingers crossed*. And last but not least the biggest advantage and main reason I got these wheels is that I am now RL bbk ready! They stick out so much more with the higher offset and really sit flush in the fenders, unlike the stock wheels. Already have the adapters, just need rotors, calipers, and pads which should all be sourced within the next few weeks. Then i'll finally be done with the stock brake bs. I'm soo sick of warping rotors...Hope u guys like

The wheels look good I also own a 08' TL in pretty much the same color as your car and I often wondered what those wheels would look like on my CL so now I know.

love the wheels on your cl! I actually didn't like those wheels at all when they came out. They started growing on me for a while now.

Thanks for the comments everyone. It's always good to hear second opinions from fellow CL'ers. Will post more updates when I get the rl brakes on.. Maybe I should even start a build thread

not sure exactly because they are coilovers.. but a lot lower than h&r race springs which drop 1.75 front and 1.5 rear. I need to roll my fenders because with the offset of the tl wheels and a 235 tire it gets tight over bumps and slightly rubs. Not looking forward to it..
