New guy here just thought I would drop in and introduce myself. My names Greg Im from Illinois and picked up my first CL. Its a 97 with 63,000 on her with 17 inch Drag DR 12s and Neuspeed springs. Oh yeah and she is a 3.0.I have been building civics for years and bought the CL for a daily and damn I love it. Love the site to very insightfull. Enough talk here are some pics and one of my current civics Im working on. Enjoy and would love some feedback.

Just read your name, so the logical guess would be that it's the stock engine still in there correct?

Wanting to do a lip up front and a carbon fiber hood and do black housing headlights if i grow a set of balls and attempt to do it. Some mods to the engine if I can find some.

Sounds pretty tasteful to me man. I like your style. It'll be close to this CL, cept with black wheels.

And as for the blackhousing, we got some DIYs and write-ups here that are mighty helpful on that subject!

Welcome to the site, both cars look pretty clean. Some clean corners on the front would look good on your ride
