Final Shoot of the CL9 for the Year

[pinacup7]

Car looks sick. Not feeling the door handles in chrome tho. I wonder how long that trans is gonna last. They don't hold up well in stock form

[JDMTyler3326]

Wow i think it is SICK. How much power does it make

[CHR!S]

1. needs larger wheels that arent green
2. needs to get rid of the takata harnesses, i just cant stand those things
3. needs to be manual

other than that its sick

[Spocknasty]

Looking great as always! Get some carbon fiber to hide that battery ASAP!!

Don't listen to Chris about the wheels, they are awesome. I could go for some green under the hood to match the scheme!

[DBryden]

Looks amazing man! Have you ever taken it to a track to see what it runs?

What are you talking about. I am on two different large TSX forums daily and there are no reports of AT tranny problems. Its not the same AT tranny that is plagued with problem in the 2nd gen TL and CL.

1. I agree the stance might look a little better in every angle if they were 18s however I love the look of the 17s as well and I am not waiting for a set of 18in wheels in Takata green. The color I love, many hate it, but I love it.

2. Why can't you stand them, cause everyone has them. Name another JDM harness I could use. Greddy Harnesses in my opinion look tacky as **** using the standard seat belt buckle that looks like it came from an early 90s domestic car. The car is built with ooodles of JDM parts it just flows better with them sorry.

3. Yeah had I known that one day the car would be more than a set of wheels, lowered, lip kit, stereo, and no longer be a daily driver then sure I would have gotten a MT or even if it was still a DD I would have. However at the time 5 years ago I had no one in my family that had an MT car nor any of my friends had an MT car so I had no way to learn or know what I was missing. So yeah I regret it at the time but hind sight is always 20/20.

And that automatically makes a nice car? Bleh.

I don't car who made the wheels, there lime green, who puts lime green wheels on a nice classy (at one point) car.

Not to mention the fitment on them is awful.

Class. Get some.

i dont like takatas because theyre $350-400 for a harness that are green, that dont match anything else besides the wheels on your car. you can get harnesses that are of equal quality, that you're not spending the extra money for just for it to be 'JDM'. but whatever its your car, you do what you want to it

Someone here has purple wheels, and everyone seems to like it...

OP, I like your car. Definitely unique and, while not my cup of tea, I think it works very well together

I think 18's would look better though :D

You guys need to understand that this is a show car. Judges look for the expensive and rare parts for points. Its harder to obtain a rare part than to just slap any Pep Boys mod that the local amigo can have on his ride.... Some people like it, but some don't, but in my opinion, the takata green accents make the car stand out even more.......

so your saying you have never seen someone build a car with a theme in mind. everything other than the supercharger is JDM on the entire car. I say they flow with the car but your entitled to your opinion.

[garrettej8]

car looks amazing and for some reason those green wheels work pretty well. you should do a manual trans swap :green:
