Question about basic aesthetic modifications?

[Mattmt79]

Hi Everybody! :wave:

Just purchased a CL9 MY2006 Manual (Graphite Pearl). Only done 64,000 Kms! Never loved a car this much! But will love her even more if I can make her look like THIS:

Anyhoo, my general question is: How do I make her look like that (except for the colour and badging)?

Specific questions:

1. What kind of lip kit is that? - Euro R? Modulo? (no idea!)
2. What kind of rims are those and what size? (they look like 19s to me)

3. What are some good springs/shocks combination to take her down to new depths?

4. I was thinking of tossing up between Tein S versus Eibach Pro Kit springs - Which springs do you think are better in terms of ride and not screwing up my standard shocks too soon? (I'm not too worried about how low and cant afford new shocks or coilovers).

5. The cars only done 64000Kms on standard shocks so I presume they should still last for a while on lowered springs right?

BTW - this is my first post so please be gentle!

1. Which picture are you talking about?
2. Which picture are you talking about?
3. large debates around, have a quick search. I favour konis but everyone's different
4. not sure. there are cheap coilovers available though

Damn! I'm still struggling to recognize the difference between pre and post facelift models.

So that's the modulo kit? Very nice! Have you got any more pics? Side and rear angles?

And btw - Did you paint your grill? That looks awesome!

do the research... you'll see it soon enough...

mines the modulo kit...

dont have the side skirts...

grill has been painted... didnt like the chrome...

[Mattmt79]

Ah I see! Those are the standard side skirts but you've got the modulo front and rear? How much can I expect to pay for modulo front and rear lip? and Where from? (Honda dealer?)

Cos thats the look that I want for mine! (Don't worry! Imitation is the best form of flattery!)

And have you lowered your car at all?

[-[NoS]-]

price range from dealers.... 600-700 each lip...

not lowered... cant get into my house if i lower it... sad truth... :(
