Zelaya done it. Looks pretty dope. https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...=814265&page=4



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.

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.

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

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.
