that last pic is a nice shot. You change the tire? Looks smaller than a 45 in that last pic.

Nice!

I like the first shot best.

I think your right though, I think your cars lower than 1.5"

still looks good though.

told you snow shots would suck.

Where the hell is that? We didn't have a flake of snow here.

Let me know when we'll be shooting the car, I'll get my car cleaned and I think I got an RDX with 19" Legends coming through too.

I know snow sux but this is the best I could do not to make ppl wait too much longer. I've gotten a few compliments already and a few silent race offers, lol

I got time for a photoshoot tomorrow. Pick the carwash and location and I'm there.

Tomorrow is my only real day off, gotta go to church and chill out with the familly. I'll call you if I got any time, otherwise anytime during the week or next weekend. Feel free to take a few shots if you get some time.

quick question, the pinstripe on the rims.....is it just a dark red or does it match the color of your RL?

let me see if I can get you a photo of the red line. It was not color matched to the car...but it's so far deep I think it only has to be close

Hot! ron did a great job with this rim and 18's look mean with your drop. i agree that the redline only has to be close in color. it accents nicely. .....are you selling your oem rims?

put on some harrows and lets see those!! the wheels you have now look nice, although not sure i'm a fan of the pinstripe.... it's subtle...but I'd prefer a more conservative looking wheel on a car as classy as an RL.... overall though, very nice.

no plans on selling stock rims, might use them as "winter" wheels.

the rims actually came out more aggressive than I thought, I was going for a conservative look.

As far as harrows, 18's looked too small and 20's too expensive.

I guess I'm going for a sporty/lux look now.

yeah the reds close enough to the color of the car. Red pinstripes usually denote race/sport. Blens in well with the rim design and your car.

BlazinGT is on H&R's too right? Cause he looks like he has more wheel gap.

yeah that would be the correct size. you loose like 1/2 inch in height between bald tires and new tires, so that might be part of the reason. Plus not all tires are shaped the same even though they are the same size.


Does the 09+ weigh more?


regardless both cars look good. wish I had some RL's to roll with my way.

I think the 09 did pick up a few pounds. I've got the fully loaded CMBS so it don't get any fatter than that.

I like the wing. It looks good and compliments the car. Did you make holes in the trunk for the clips?

Whats that black thing over your plate?

yes, 4 holes had to be drilled in the back.

Black thing over the rear plate is the sensor for the laser jammer.
