the front is awesome, the back is blah, the exhaust is definitely a no no. Also the stock brakes look too small for this setup.

Either way, glad to see people with fresh body kits on the other side of the pond.

Seen this already...It's okay, but I dont like how the luxury was taken away from it... But it is nice see the RL taken down different paths.

What r u saying brah, that front end is a Killah. Like 037, I'm not feeling the rear, it needs the A-spec kit in the back minus those mufflers.

Props to the owner for being different.

It's a big lumbering luxury car, you can throw thousands at it and it will never perform as it looks. It must therefore be defined as a poser. The graffitti stickers on the rear window is nice touch too.

the more and more i look at the pictures, the rl rear is pitched pretty high and the front is pitched pretty low.

the front reminds of a mercedes amg front or something like that. it looks too aggressive for me. and wtf is up with the rear spolier painted black. it throws everything off, or maybe its all the stickers. front is debadged but rear is not? kinda have two different looks going on from front and reear

only thing killer about this vehicle is the wheels and drop.

on the 4th pic, the roof looks like a matt black or different color black then the rest of the other parts on the car that is painted black.

^ This.

What a stupid car. The front bumper is interesting. Almost everything else is wrong except for the tint and clear corners.

For those looking for inspiration, look at Touge, look at Zelaya, look at eyi (MugenRL) even. Those are three different guys who have taken a classy car and kept it classy.

Go read Touge's thread. Check out the progress Zelaya made. Take a dive into the history of eyi/MugenRL. Hell, even ambiguous626 had a better looking car than this one.

Dude put on stupid tires that can't cover his wheels, sunk them into the wells, bolted a front spoiler on with no back spoiler, stuck the tips out past the bumper, puzzlingly painted his spoiler black, and slapped on some $0.25 stickers to the back window. That car looks stupid IMHO.

Touge did it right, Zelaya, eyi, and even ambiguous626 kept it classy. Blazing's car is more inspiration than that.

Don't give me that age BS.

I agree that touge, zelaya, eyi, and ambiguous626 kept their RL looking good along with class. I also agree that the wheel and exhaust could use some work...but besides those imho, i would take this car over any of the cars mentioned above AND MINE!!

OK - I'll play your age game: Now that older RL's have become cheap enough for the Civic buying crowd, us old geezers are becoming distraught at the thoughts of our classy cars being reduced to rice cruisers by people not old enough to be able to articulate a sentence.

Why? Because of a goddy front lip and some cut springs?

It's an honest question as I'm sincerely confused. I see nothing special besides those two things.

I'm younger than you, and no, it isn't the "new thing" and it isnt "clean" at all. Anything with JDM plates gets fanboys to droll nowadays..

Its tacky, and not put together cleanly at all. For fucks sake, its not even trendy! Just halfway done and ugly. BTW, the wheels fit like shit.

Its a riced out luxury sedan. Damn shame.

If he wouldnt have plasti-dipped his roof and spoiler, finished the kit, pulled the exhaust back under the car, and took care of his hellasunk wheels, it MAY look good.

i really like the open grill concept on the bottom.. maybe less jagged and aggressive, make the scoops smaller and the mouth opening a little smaller it would flow better.

Welcome to the world wide Interwebz. Where everyone has an opinion and stating it doesn't make them a "hater".




Who let 253RL out of the 3G TL section?

It is original Honda Legend grill to my mind, that big H missing from the center of it, and those chrome`s painted black.
