Here was my photochop that helped persuade him.


I am thinking of doing it to my LSM since I have rock chips I want to fix.

DonVito

That is sick. I think ima go with that look. Diff rims tho, an paint roof black

Don't paint the roof black. It doesn't work with the RL.

Here's why; the back window is not flush with the edges of the back of the roof. There is a curve that doesn't look right:

If you do want black, DON'T PAINT IT. Get a vinyl wrap. Vinyl is always reversible, paint is not.

When the RL was early in its current generation, say circa 2004-2007 there was a certain contingent of the community that spent a lot of effort to dismiss the RL as an 'old man's car', 'irrelevant since we have the TL', and of course the infamous 'looks like an Accord'.

I find it amusing to see that similar contingent of the community now uses adjectives like 'dope' and 'sick' where the RL is the constant and the opinion has changed (along with the price of admission)?

I hope you realize my rhetoric was satirical and in reference to the influence of the 3G TL forums.

Not happenin'. Youthful pacifist here.


C'mon. "Zelaya done it. Looks dope." I was dead serious, but it was painful to hit submit.

DonVito

Right now it's all stock. I just got it not too long ago. But I'll post some pix soon. Hopefully I can work photoshop and show you guys what I had in mind

DonVito

How much are those^

Bigger question: do they fit an RL?

Be prepare to pay more than 4K for this set plus tires. Nice wheels tho.

oo7spy

He's not selling the wheels, but the design on the wheels. If you want these HREs but don't want to drop $4k, get the Nurburgrings for $1.1k.

hre wheels are hottest! drools.
