Ive owned this CL for almost a year. I bought it wrecked and very ugly. I went crazy on the audio during that time and now that its mostly done i concentrated on the rest of the car. So I'm almost done with the exterior makeover. i went from stock on the outside and the engine a month ago to where its at now. i removed all the mud flaps, the side skirts are painted also and im trying to figure out which rear lip i want to put on. Heres where my project is at. I hope to get some more things done soon. Thanks for the inspiration Acurazine.

looks pretty good. you seriously need to paint your grill.... it sticks out way to much, not to much of a fan of the headlights plus a WW lip would have looked better IMO .....your progressing with mods pretty quick

Dude, where'd you get the covers for the front lights? is it just tint or is it those snap on plastic covers? also, how much does it affect the lights? ie, can you still at night and everything? i've been thinking about something like that, but didn't know if i wanted to do that or just paint the housing black. it looks sick, but i'm not sure if i like the front lip, but it still looks sweet. nice job and keep up the good work...

the grille looks great, its the subtle chrome accents that make it nice.

That's what we're here for, car's lookin good, I hope you don't rip that nice lip off. Keep it up, HL tint looks better from far away. Debadge the back emblems. Looks good, love the all black front

spencer_homer

looks hella good. can do withouth the headlight tint, but for the look your going for, i think it looks great.

inside looks good, wish it was a lot cleaner, or nicely done.

starting to like that lip more and more, but it still doesnt line up with oem skirts so thats the big no for me.

Blind_Shooter

i guess im just really indecisive on how to paint the front grill and i dont want to remove chrome and then change my mind a month from now so once i settle on something ill do it.

i liked this lip over the wings west one. Im probably a minority on that but each his own i guess. once the lip is molded and painted it should look 1000x better.

the tint is a vinyl. i blackhoused the headlights but i guess it was worthless just to tint the headlights so im not sure i like it, but hey its there until i decide to wetsand the headlights to new looking again. i think the blackhouse looks better but you have to wetsand your lights and im incredibly lazy. i have 10,000k hids and they seem to only make it more blue i guess i really dont see a difference in light output. headlight tint def looks better further away. and i already did debadge those pics were a little old. and i scraped earlier leaving the driveway

spencer_homer

has anyone wetsanded their headlights on here yet to get rid of the lines?

ZeroCL

Debadge that bitch. other then that shes looking good. the headlight tint looks better then the other pics.

I was considering it, but I just don't think the payoff is worth the risk. If it worked and there was no issues with clarity, that would be great, and the headlights would look better. But if it clouded up the headlights because of wearing away the plastic, then you're fucked.
I've decided it's not worth the risk for me.. but if you want to try it, please show the results.

Blind_Shooter

^^ i thought the same thing shnee. not worth finding out for me.

blackhouse FTW and call it a day

Man.. Your car is Completely Murdered Out! I'm feeling that a lot.. looks really good man.. Happy to see things coming along for you..

Did you install those visor monitors yourself?

Blind_Shooter

^^yea i did. its the third car i put tv's in. gimme a tv and an idea where you want it and i can make it happen. its real easy. once put one in the steering wheel looked pretty cool. (no airbag unfortunately) still cant wait to do more and i love the murdered out look too can you tell

cel FTL

Blind_Shooter

yea.....how do i reset that damn thing

XxAtTheGatesxX

^lol, by fixing it.

No seriously, what's the code for?

Your car blew up in like 15 minutes man. Looks good! I've never liked the ABS lip, but if that's your forte, you're lucky! Considering it's like $200 cheaper than WW. I'm a fan of the headlight tint too.

Germ

honestly i like the tint of the head lights. how good is your light output with those things on?

yea i wish the inside was cleaner but bro your car is pretty dope. im so jealous of the visor screens. lool....

AznX TL

you just have to look out for deals

XxAtTheGatesxX

Haha you sold yours before I could get a chance at it! Bastard!

I've been looking. I want one bad!

ZeroCL

hah

XxAtTheGatesxX

^THATS WHERE YOU GOT IT FROM?!

I'm crying inside.

ZeroCL

haha. haha. haha. sorryys.

AznX TL

atleast you got to see it in person

Blind_Shooter

i want klepto's rear bumber. im keeping an eye for one of those, or anything else if the price is right

XxAtTheGatesxX

Haha ahhh i hate both of you!!

ZeroCL

Klepto did a shit load of work to his, good luck with that.

Blind_Shooter

^^like what?? cut out 2" section mold back together and mold into rear bumper?? am i close or is theyre way more to it

f22vtec

nice car dude. yea i like my abs lip i personally would rather have the ww lip but its alot of money for me right now and then to get it painted too dayum id be a broke a$$ ahaha.

ZeroCL

im pretty sure kleptos had honeycomb and stuff on his and he had it all cut out. they do sell a similar rear lip though minus all that work. i think its the 95-96 accord ww lip that should fit fine. but that might not look as good with the abs lip you have.

South Jersey CL

your car is ridiculous bro. im warming up to the smoked headlights. those, paired with the smoked corners and the lip looks pretty good.

your interior is ridiculous. FUCKING ridiculous. (in a good way).

DaInFaMMuS1

I like where you're taking this car. Keep it up.

teh CL

that front end looks bad ass

NACIREMA_DREAM

WOW....your car was a junk jox like 3 weeks ago....noww
U gotta mould and paint that lip......it will look 10x better

mitch14

i love all the black though, and the car looks great

a couple questions for you blind shooter,
are those corner lights the smoked ones from ebay?
also where did you get the headlight & tail light tint from?
and can we see some more pics of your car with those rims? i'm intrigued as to how they look on a cl, sorry for all the questions, and again, sick looking car, quite the transformation indeed

AznX TL

those arent the smoked ones off ebay, you can see a light hint of amber behind it. the ones on ebay are clear.

I have the smoked ebay ones, those aint them

Blind_Shooter

thank you i love the all black too. its the second one ive done. the theme is carried out from the exterior to the engine to interior to the trunk.

to answer your questions, its not the ebay smoked corners. but those look cool too. the headlight, front corners, and tail lights were done using vinyl from a seller on ebay. his name was rvinyl.com. you will have to shape, cut, and mold the vinyl using a hair dryer/heat gun. heres another picture of the rims until i post todays picture shoot with my professional model

blackack are you saying u dont like my tinting, i think i have a couple pictures that might change your mind

this is for you mitch:




and for everyone else.

ZeroCL

that lip sits so low. you need to get some sides and rear asap! and when are those pictures getting posted? haha

Blind_Shooter

i know the lip sits low thats why i like it. i painted it flat black until i get the whole car resprayed. i might get it molded if i like it enough.

do any of the accord wings west body kits fit right on the sideskirts or the rear bumper?? if not do you know which ones are the easiest to work with?? I want to finish the exterior before September and appreciate any help. im going to be posting the pictures soon i took a lot

Nope never said that, I like smoked ambers I was just saying that you don't have the ebay corners
