Yeah 3.2 should be good, it will be louder with the slot ports guaranteed

Well after a phone cal to dd the guy said 4.5 is the optimum box size. But the site says 3-4.5. So I think I should be fine. I really would like to have her at 16 deep as I believe i could get my spare out then. But 18" deep would give me 3.5 cubes, so I wonder if the .2-.3 cubes would make a diff... Thoughts?

make it to the suggestion. If they say 4.5, then do everything you can to build it to 4.5... I'll tell you this: If your box is 20" deep and 16" high, you can get your spare out... It's a pain in the a$$, but it's possible... That's the way I had my box for awhile, and it worked, although it is a pretty big hassle to get the spare out...

Looks pretty good except for that license plate... I'd work on that first... But since you seem to be going with a blacked out theme, blackhouse... I wouldn't tint my headlights unless you've got HID's and even then only if you use 55w 5000k's so you get the absolute most light output...

my current projects are as follows
find a good paint job place to do my kit in the bay area that isnt looking to rob me blind.
fix my damn seat cause the back part came off...
strip my cars insides cause the weather is getting nice and i want to do my interior
replace my egr (yea its like a 5 minute job but i have NO time what so ever)
thats a peek at my long ass list. im going to the philippines this summer and from what ive heard, theres a place that sells some nice stuff for our cars (waiting for verification) in manila. if so, imma try to hop on that...but im probably not gonna be able to.

yea does look cool but gonna stick with one color. I had thought about powder coating them but don't think they will fit in my oven. the cars white. I think black looks killer but maybe played out that's why I'm considering graphite. had thought of white but not on the 3.0 wheels

that does look killer but since I've got the premium wheels dunno if it would look right or not. but I've been a big fan of the rick ross style white on white man I can't decide

just searched for that pic i found before of the white cl with the white painted 3.0cl stockies
here's the link for the thread
https://acurazine.com/forums/1g-cl-photograph-gallery-57/stock-97-cl-wheels-have-hidden-beauty-pics-488361/
it is an older member who painted the wheels for his daughter's cl. white on white, with the same stock wheels as you have.
i personally think it looks pretty good, especially if the car had a drop. but you can make your own opinions.
and i've stopped posting in this thread, but i thought this was important because i have mentioned this pic more than once in other places as well.

the red cl was his and the white one was his daughter's. Just click the link i provided before to see
i think with the white wheels it makes the car look so damn clean, and if lowered, it would make the car look so sick.
and the white on white style is what i want for my next car.
back to projects though:
gonna see if i can get some paint to paintmatch my stockies before i put them on for the summer, if i have time
also gonna try and get some extra tailights to try out some tinting on them to see how i like it.
and then probably tint my corners if the tailights work out good

if you wanna keep the plate where it is just tighten the screw on the right to even it out. as far as relocating it, i put mine on the bottom grill, and it cost as much as 2 zip ties cost. very easy, looks good IMO.
