Don't you know the guys who jumped on that particular bandwagon are kicking themselves right now? Hope they kept their stock wheels to go back to.

You have a good point when you take the whole picture into consideration like that. I appreciate the perspective.

We're all guilty of losing the the trees for the forest. I do agree that, considering the wheel's not really made out of wood, it should be a little less.

GREAT! Now that you agree.....can you get me a good deal on a Taupe / Wood steering wheel?

Rob144 has me waffling about one for one since he got his.

Now it is a perfect candidate for Laugh at Rice , though it does need a bulbous, primer-colored nose now, too.

Sorry the link didn't work. Here's my RL with the new wing. Haven't had a chance to paint it yet. Thinking of maybe leaving it that color. Any thoughts? Be honest


Well...it should improve the front/rear weight balance.

It's not about weight bias ... it's all about style.

Talking

Does that spoiler come in woodgrain? How close of a match to the OEM wood?

Can it be used as an ironing board?

Glad everyone likes it. Your comments have inspired me so much I think I'm going to add fake hood pins, a fake scoop on the hood, and some chrome spinner wheels as my next mod. It's gonna be pimped out man

Ok, it's pretty clear, most posters think adding wood trim is the same as adding a fuzzy purple wheel cover.

I admit one of my main likes about the RL is the stock interior, much nicer than most anything I've seen except some Mercedes. Much better than all BMW and Infiniti, Lexus can be pretty good but the RL has a techier center stack that I like, but I think the console and shifter area could be improved some. The stock? shift boot on the Jappy RL is hot looking!
