nspec's 01 CL-S thread
this is what my CL-S looked like when I first bought it about 2 months ago.
with in a week of purchase, I had debadged the rear, cleaned the headlights, fixed most of the big dents, and mostly everything it it needed done.
since then i had worked on and off on it.
so far these are the modifications on the car:
*K&N Filter
*Magnaflow exhaust
*2" drop
*19" TenzoR GF7 w/ 245/35 tires
*Quarter panel wheel lips rolled w/ a baseball bat!
*Blacked out headlights
*03 Front bumper inserts
*NBP grille
*Gentex rear view mirror w/ compass
*XS headers
future modifications/work:
**Get the pass quarter, front and rear bumper, and trunk painted
**Remove the front license plate
**Custom Taillights
**Lights weight pulley
**10,000K HIDs
**Cold Air Intake
**Custom Bumper Inserts
other modificaitons not sure if I'll do
***Coilover Kit
***complete catback w/ a test pipe
some pictures I took yesterday

thanks a lot guys.
I did take some pictures in daylight, but the SD card messed up.
It'll be a day or two before I post those pictures.
I think I'll have a photoshoot w/ this car pretty soon.

oh yeah, make sure you get some type of UV coating or cover for your headlights.. when you wet sand you remove all the UV protection then they'll turn even yellower.

I just painted the amber flat black from behind. it still lights up though. Will do VHT on amber on my next pair.
I was on that guy's ass to make sure he gets that lined up perfectly. even his customers were pissed off at me for making them wait for an xtra 1/2 hr. but it was worth it.
thanks guys.

Wow, beautiful ride . Nicely balanced with the wheels and drop. How about some tint?? The black paint, dark tint and those dark silver rims would really set that car off nicely, just my 
.
One more thing, match that front tire up to the rest. You dont want to run different tires on different corners, my rule is always do two at a time and two of a kind. Especially on the drive wheels, tires can and do have different revs/mile and may heat and blow out. Last thing you would ever want for that slick whip. BTW, never liked those general exclaim tires, too freakin loud
, the hard tread compound screams like a banshee and vibrates at high freqs. up through my firewall 
and that is on stock suspension. Cheers

Cheersthe general tire should be out of there by next week and two new matching tires are coming in. The tires were used when i put them on. but it should have all 4 new tires w/ in a month.
thanks! they are also a pain in the ass because of how much they still rub and I have to slow the hell down for pot holes. and I also live around the worst area in the town

the tranny's been out for a month now.
the car's sitting at the shop w/ the tranny all opened up.
This is the clutch pack for third gear. The clutch disks were worn out to a point where the groves could barely stop a finger nail.
All the rest of the clutch packs are fine, but i'm getting them repalced just to be on the safe side.
