Updated pics and mod list of my ride. 56K/14.4K beware!

As some of you know, i recently had my bumper lights shaved and my ww lip molded to the bumper. I bought a set of Racing Hart S15 19's, but due to RI's poor roadway maintenance, i cracked 2 of them and they are being repaired You can see them in my older pics tho....
So, I am moving back to school on monday and won't get a real chance to post pics, so i gave her a quick wash and snapped a few shots.
New mods were the the molded bumper/shaved bumper lights, 19" rims(not pictured), blacked out housings, Valentine V1 with direct wire kit, H&R Sport springs, Ingall's camber kit, kicker comp 12" sub w/ MTX 300w amp and a few more i can't remember.

The new drop looks great. I think I like the 18"s better. All you need next is a rear lip, and maybe some side skirts. Your car is one of a kine. Mad props.

Thanks Baka, you also have one of my fav first gen's on the board. I honestly like the look of the 18's better, but i wish they had a dish/polished lip. I would be 100% happy. As far as more mods, thats all your gonna see done to my car. I am keeping it for another 9 months, including 6 of those months being up on jack stands for the winter. So, its gonna be for sale in March. Haven't decided if i want to part it out or sell it whole yet tho. Price of molding was nothing. I was hit and my body shop, family friend, told me that if i wanted any work done, do it before they had to paint. So i threw this idea out there, he thought it was great and did it.

If you ever part out, I'd be interested in the projectors and front bumper. I'd be willing to trade stock headlights+ stock bumper.

one more year I have a house in new eastward look @ 37 Glendale. Moving in on monday, well tomm at 5:10 right now, shit it was a late night. Your gonna be so close, we should def hook up and party and such. I am always looking for new peeps to chill with.
THE BLINKERS......Right now they are wired into the 192 housings, which now blink along with the high beam bulb cutout being used as a blinker as well. With my HID's, i never use the high beams anyway. Only prob is that i have no running lights up front, oh well the price you pay. But i am trying to think of a new way to rewire.
Reason for getting rid of her......I am graduating in May and when I do, i get to either lease or buy a company car. So, i have been thinking of the new TL's, G35's, 3 series possibly 5 series, FX 45, toureg, new body style range rover and the new eddie baure expeditions. Haven't decided if i want a car or truck yet, so only time will tell.
But thanks again everyone for you comments. Most people don't realize how much work really went into my car, and i am glad to see my brothers over here at acl.com all appreciate it.
Yeah, its too late, bed time....

Yeah, i hear you clear. I am in the same exact mind set as you right now. I loved having it at first, and i guess i have just grown out of it I still love driving my car, but it is just SUCH a cop magnet and you really have to be carefull driving it. I might be ready for a truck with a 70 series sidewall

Nice and clean ding. It looks good, but removing the blinkers makes the front end look very similar to a 6th gen cord. obviously ur cl looks much better. always liked milano red.

Yeah your right it does look accordish. You really can't tell what it is either, because the headlights look like a set of aftermarket lights from an accord they way i modded mine. Maybe people think that i drive a honda now, but i love it, and it turns a SHITLOAD more heads the way it is now compared to with the bumper lights.

removing the bumper lights does make the car look kitted as oposed to just molding the lip on. most people have no idea my bumpers are modified, but i like a more subtle oem look. ur car is sweet bro.

looks really good. I wouldn't have painted the winshield wipers - reminds me of the aftermarket blades of the 80's. But I'll take your bumper any day.
