Thanks,

That looks great! So much better than the stock front end. Looks like I will be looking for one now also. Just have to decide on A-Spec or which one and there is also that whole money issue. Great add on though!

Are those headlight washers?? Looks good but the lip's color looks a bit off. Might be the picture. Is that a factory spoiler on your car?

The Canucks get headlight washers. Also, fresh paint versus old paint can look different.

OP, looks great! for better pics.

Canuck RLs also get heated & cooled seats too but no satellite radio nor the shark fins.

Rub it in. Although I don't like the shark fin. At least you can buy the dummy fin and 3M tape it. Cooled seats aren't getting fixed with tape anytime soon.

Okay I'm going to install three shark fins to confuse the masses, just kidding. The cooled seats work very well during those very few hot & humid days up here in Canada. How's the truck & stuff working out?

I vote for Evo fins.






The truck is working out good. Aside from 16 mpg at best, handling like a truck, and a turning radius an RL with a trailer could beat, it's all good.

That RL is nice. I just ordered my OEM lip kit from Acura so I'm awaiting that for my Lakeshore silver RL.

thanks for all the comments.

I would not give up my cool seats, they are awesome. as for the spoiler, its an ebay M3 trunk spoiler for an RL, which I wrapped in carbon fiber, looks awesome.

The rims are 19*9 Fast wheels, good price, good built, and made in Canada. I like it, kinda like the Volks TE37 at a fraction of the cost.
