Another Noob
Hello everyone here at ACL. I am new to this board if you could not tell. i have been reading up tho for about the last 3 months. i was thinking of getting a 99 CL 3.0 Pre. and i wanted your opinions about it. i have found a few for around 9000-15000$ with around 40000-90000 miles on them. i just wanted to know if you would suggest this car over all others in this price range. since you guys all own or have owned these cars for a while i figured that you would be the best people to ask. i do have a 93 "legend" with about 130000 that is perfect. and i decided i wanted a CL as well.
I was also thinking of getting some new head lights for the CL when i get it. As well as some Clear corners and i was thinking about Levoc shifter and some nice gauges, since i dont have all the funds to put it on AIR :P
i was also thinking of an intake from AEM or INJEN i wanted to know what power (HP) gain came with that if any at all. and would i have to get a muffler as well?
well this post is to long so for now i will talk to you later.

i got a 97 3.0 prem. its a nice car. if you wanna mod it go right ahead. by changing headligths, you mean changing the bulbs? i got the nokyo arctic whites for the hi and low beams and piaa xtreme white for the rest of them. some people will say they are rice but i like them cuz i can see better at night.
i have a AEM CAI. some power gain, but probably not that much. has a nice roar sound to it at a certain rpm. you odn't need a muffler if you don't want.

Welcome!
CAIs have minimal gain (2-3 HP), but I still think they're worth it.
As far as a comparison to other makes, I think that Acura has the most to offer in their price range.!
Your best HP gains will come from a combination of intake/headers/exhaust, and possibly pullies. Then again, a nice 75-shot of nitrous will more than double that output.
If you're gonna change bulbs, get HIDs! Nothing compares to them!

What about getting an 97 or 98 3.0 or 2.X? I believe the 99 3.0 only came in an automatic (i think) and a stick is waaaayyyy more fun to drive.
I got my 98 2.3 with 28,000 miles for under $10 grand, so there's so good ones out there in your price range.
