My dad bought an RL

My dad just got his 2005 RL (White). So far he got the windows tinted and we ordered some winter mats.

I need to know where I can order that Mugen lip spoiler for him? (Maybe Touge would know)

Once he has the Mugen lip spoiler.. do you think the A-Spec kit would look good with it?

We were going to order the A-spec kit from Tim at hondaacuraworld.

Also for wheels we've been having some difficulties... a local shop here in town recommended Riverside Trafficstar RTS's.... but my dad thinks theyre a bit too pricey.

Are Maya RT5 (same design) any cheaper from the US?? where is a good place to order those from??

Sorry for all the questions.

VisonaryRacing.com has all the stuff for the RL, it is touge's website. I think the Mugen kit would look much better than the A-Spec, the fog Lights in the Mugen are better looking and it does not make the front end so blunt towards the bottom. Also look at the one Qatar had, I forgot the name of it but is starts with an A. As for rims, make sure that they can clear the brembos, and have the 5 x 120 bolt pattern.

Clearing the calipers is key! If you search, some have had issues with this, including RonJon's first prototype, and first production run

Congrats on your dad's RL.

The sole advantage to the A-Spec body kit is that it is considerably less expensive than either the Mugen or Amuse body kits. If your dad can spend the money and really wants a body kit, either of these two looks better.

The TL's A-Spec body kit looks much better.

I've got a concern, or maybe not a concern regarding the apec kit, but i was thinking about getting the factory aspec for my Black 05RL. I was thinking about just doing the front underbody kit for now, and pending on how it looks, i may just keep it that way. Has any of you seen just the front underbody installed and how do you think it would look? It's all about the front anyway as far as the stance from the front. What do you guys think?

Thanks for the link supergreen, that's great.
I'll get some pictures of my TL and the pops' RL when we get back from vacation in January. Going to SoCal for a couple weeks right away.
