What wing is everyone talking about, the type r wing from wings west?
Anyways, what do you need help with? As far as body/aero kits, you'll need to have them custom fitted to your car since none are made for ous cars except for that black widow kit.
As far as turbo/supercharging your car, the comptech supercharger will work for our cars. If you want to turbo it, it's going to be expensive and custom made.
Your basic bolt ons will be fun, but nothing too drastic as far as performance wise. You can however go with a 125 shot on the car, just as long as you stick with race gas and cold plugs. Or you can throw on the 75 shot and leave everything alone and have fun with that. Nitrous is always a great, cheap way to get some power out of any car.
Hope that helps...let me know if you want to know anything else...

He definately sounded like he'd be fun for a few more threads, but didn't sound like 29 wait 28 at all (hit wrong key)
if you dont like it here, give honda-tech a shot, I'm sure they will tell you what you want to hear.

Yeah, you'll have Honda badges in no time! (no offense to the people that do and pull them off decently)

Anyways I want it to be a daily driver car so race gas is out of the question, if you have a supercharger does it matter what type of exaust u have ? can the exaust be put on first or should it be done after the supercharger ?

But uh, in all honesty, unless you really feel like spending a shit load of money on your car dont plan on getting a supercharger and all of that. It's probably not going to happen. And if you really do, something else will break once its done. Just be prepared to replace a good amount of your parts, since they are 8-10 years old.

holy shit, i just saw your avatar picture, for some reason it wasn't loading last night.
Seriously, if you like that wing, fine. But who installed it? That angle its mounted at would actually be producing lift in the rear.

There is a lot of good info in the Noob guide if you want to take a look at that.
Civics can be made a lot quicker, a lot cheaper, plus everyone has them. Where as a CL, no one has. There are a lot of people on here whom have dumped a bunch of money into their cls and have made them quite fast.
Most of the people on here though take the CL for what it is, a Semi luxory car. So most people, will put some nice rims on it (which you have already, if you like the chrome) drop it, throw a nice exhaust system on it, intake, headers and lower that bitch and call it a day.
Its all up to you.
I was not flaming your car, I was mearly giving you my opinion on it. If its what you like, then why do care what I think about it... Just my

You know they used this same spoiler on on of the black civics in the first "fast and furious" movie, they have mine on 1 car and the double decker ver. on the other 2 civics, I didnt know til after I bought my spoiler though, im not a wannabe. as I said before I will upload pics of my car later.

If you plan on supercharging the car with the comptech supercharger, then I would suggest jumping on one as soon as you find one for sale. Comptech went out of business and there are only a limited amount made. You will most likely find it for sale around the $2,000-$3,000 depending on what else is included and how many miles have been driven on it, etc...
All the basic bolt on are affordable, and great. With under $1,000, you can get your basic intake, headers, exhuast, and springs. If you know where to look and install them yourself (except the exhaust, that's going to have to be welded on with the custom piping of the diameter of your choice).
Goodluck with the ride.

Its squeaked BAD ! and a rough ride, so I have no Idea what to do, I want to but I dont want it to sqeak and make all that noise. I probaly wont supercharge it, since everyone said you have to change out alotta parts, I know some thing have to be switched to stronger or bigger parts, but I dont want to change everything. which should I do firts exaust or intake ?
There were only 3 things you had to do to have the supercharger fit. And they were NOT big things. The parts costed about $100 to do so. One of the 3 things that had to be done was a battery relocation, and as for the other 2 things, i dont remember what it was, but the info is on the boards somewhere. Only 2 guys have ever supercharged their 3.0's. One out in NY, and the guy was in CO. If you want to save yourself the hassle, you can throw in a 75 shot and call it a day.
As for the suspension squeaking, they either did not install it properly, or a little grease in the bushing could do the trick (depending where the squeak is coming from).

The sound is going to depend on what you like, and how many different types of exhausts you've been around to distinguish the difference in sound bwtween them. I personally love Apexi N1. If I could have gone with a Jay's Racing exhaust, I would, but they dont make the muffler by itself.
A lot of people enjoy the Tanabe mufflers on here, because of the low rubble sound. It's not to high pitched, and not to low pitched where it sounds like a wanabe borla or anything. It is just right...
I personally love the high decibals of a great exhaust. And to me, the N1 fit that. Freaking loud, and freaking bad. On the track, there's no better sound for me (except hearing a real jay's racing setup. those get up to about 116 decibals) Those full exhausts go for $1600, and in my opinion, worth every penny.
I got the Apexi muffler for $225. You can find HKS for a little more than that, or even less, depending on the muffler. And you can even find tanabe's for less than that. So finding a great muffler wont be an issue. It's just all about what distintive sound you're looking for.
