its a 3.0 with an interfooler intake. I hate those things, but they're actually pretty functional i hear.

How is that interfooler cool at all? It's like, break vents.. Well, maybe not as bad.
At least it's not chrome trim?

I dont understand buying them when its SOOO easy a caveman could do it. whats wrong with a nice interfooler and some brake vents. I was gonna get interfoolers to put in my back windows and tell everyone i put a porsche motor in the trunk.

brake vents belong on cadillacs and buicks, not on acura CL's.

thats my opinion.

He was trying to select the color or brush size in photobucket picture edit. It always does that when you select on the drop box. Happens to me all the time. They need to fix that..

Looks like my corners, I like the look of smoked corners, and I still hate those headlights, but as you can see, you can do that to the stock headlights, so yeah screw those headlights, blackhouse them yourself, throw projectors in there while you're at it

i think these are going to be just for the black CL owners if any. i think they look fine and like i said my headlights were pretty bruk up. so this was the cheapest with the least hassles.

voila:

They really don't look that bad. I would rather blackhouse the oem ones but if your oem ones look like crap, this is your next best bet. I do LOVE the fact that the annoying gray strip on the corners are black instead of the gray that you can't paint on oem ones.

It's called wetsanding.. you should search then post tho.. not afterwards..

Just get some 2000 grid sandpaper, wet it with a water and soap mixture, and sand away. Of course you need some plastic polish afterwards.

now i'm not 100% positive, but i'm pretty sure you can just scrape that off the back of the lens (i haven't tried, but it seems that's all there is to it). then you could paint it whatever color you wanted.

Hmm... Never thought of that. I'll get around to scrapeing it off (or power sanding with a dremel if I have too) when I take them off to amberize my corners. I might be one of the only guys that it buggs the crap out of! Thanks for the idea bro.

not going to lie tho: grey curves > black slits. Sorry Davzila.

i still haven't decided if i will blackhouse or not, and if i do, i haven't decided if i will paint that grey part. the grey sort of goes with my primrose, and black there might end up being too much of a black outline for the headlight.
maybe ill experiment with some electrical tape or something.
if i do i'll definitely post pics
