Ron Jon we know your products are top of the line but pleeease lower the price on that grill so more 4g TL owners can make their car have that!
It's so good it looks factory!

Yeah RonJon is always so pricey 
I'm dying to get some Servos, but at $800 for the whole car? A little steep...

this thread didn't start out as a discussion of the RonJon 4G TL grills. not saying it's not worth discussing (plenty of threads in the 4G TL Forum), but has no relevance here.

Do you plan on modifying anything?

And yes ... Jacobpockros found my CL on Ebay ... even sent me a PM to let me know about it. I see the current bid is a whopping $860 (gone up from $1.00 as of late yesterday).

Thinking of adding the body kit to it next spring. Debating what to do about the grill, and really like the way RonJon's DTIII's look on the 4G TL. Have to research how much (if any) impact to the SH-AWD architecture if I lower it a bit, and not sold on the Takeda Retain Short Ram Intake yet. Not going to jump into anything until it's quality proven.

And I dunno, I've just heard plenty of people getting TSWs and the like for less than $600 or so.... hopefully nobody thinks I'm more of a noob than usual...

Whats up with RDX owners?

You can do it, as VTEC.net did it to their project RDX, but the handling does not improve until you reprogram the module.

I'm guessing makes of quality suspension are finding ways to deal with that. I'd leave it up to them

Actually it does. With the SH-AWD system basically every computer system in the car talks to each other to go around a curve. Lowering it can cause the computer to over/under compensate for torque transfer to the outside wheel.

about how it will accelerate the outside wheel in turns, but then it be more VSA and not the actual awd system, do to you pushing the limits,and just one more thing we will be locked out of
(can't seem to find them reprograming the module)

What a great car you picked...that's the EXACT way I'd order it although that kind of monthly expense is not in my forseeable near future.
When you decide to move onto the next car, being that you take great care of your cars...keep me in mind for selling it. I would be interested, for sure.

x2, plus the general population believes cars are disposal, and they get rid of them before 100k miles. Its stupid, really.
, but i also know the maintence history on it since 7k miles with oil changes every 3k

too funny. Yesterday, there were 6 bids, current showing at $830. Today, 4 addit bids, showing current bid at $1,825. The Auto trader listing is $167 dollars under the asking price as shown on the auction page. The mileage ... newly shown as 221,282 ... still doesn't accurately reflect the 280 miles he claims he/his mechanic have driven it (and I have the odometer disclosure statement to prove it). I don't see the guy getting anything near his reserve - whatever that is - and I really don't understand re-listing it at $167 less on Auto Trader than the auction purchase price. Plus ... $426 processing fee? I only paid $100 for my new one, but I've recently learned that VA has gone ballistic with their processing fees. Also funny that he hasn't really looked closely at the car ... no mention at all of the aftermarket underpinnings.
Maybe this is his first attempt at fleabay and/or used car sales?

You should just go on ebay and bid on it and win it back for like $2,000. That way, you have your CL back and gain $4,000 (assuming they bought it from you for around 6,000 or more.)
Then you go back to the same dealer and trade it in to them again for another + or - $6,000.
Repeat this process over and over until you reach $10,000,000. Then you will probably be good to go.

Maybe I missed it, but how much did they pay you for it?

6mt swapped..smart
You know there is a reserve that is obviously higher than 2k right? But regardless someone is getting a steal if it goes for around 5k. That thing is clean for the mileage. I'd toss a bid if I had the money handy. Wouldn't have even got rid of it for the pennies they gave you for it. Not worth it. Probably just gonna get crashed by some ungrateful kid now.
