Former CL owner's new car...

Most of you know, I sold the CL for a truck. Picked this up for $3500.

Fuzzy (or other CL mod), I don't really frequent in the car talk section, and I used to be a CL owner and Modder...Could ya let this slide?







Got a few plans...includes matching the headlights. lol

Most of you guys will probably hate on me, but I love it. Enjoy!

I would've chosen the SRT hood, but it came with it and looks pretty tough in person... I'm not complainin...

If you use it like a truck, congrats.

If you drive it and never use the bed for what it was meant for, then you wasted a good car to get a truck that's used like a car. No hate, just seems pointless if you're only using it as a mode of transport and not hauling/towing.

Werd, i've used it several times since the purchase. our Band equipment was a BITCH to move in the CL

The 6,500 i got from the sale was a nice treat too.

That is exactly my point. The truck give you the utility you need. I just see too many people buying them because they like sitting high up. Good job. What engine is in it?

The motor in that truck has a ton of potential. A friend of mine has a lot of work done to his (it's still N/A) and runs sick times on the 1/4 mile

Good pick up for the money.

But First thing you need to pick up is 3M™ Headlight Lens Restoration System.

Gas economy has got to suck with those things. I think you should change the front grills to mesh and then it will look pretty cool.

Averaging 17.8 on my last tank, not too terrible. I'm about to do a transmission computer swap, which will give me an effective 5th gear, and an overdrive, should see an extra 3-4 mpg on the highway.

I think I want to change out the grille to a black mesh, should look pretty good.
