Car looks great. i was curious about the JDM lights. do they just have the amber removed or do they have a clear reflector installed on them. Would it be possible to get a high res picture of the headlight its self

Thanks man. The rotors feels very good. Haven't hit my brakes hard since I got them bedded but trust me they stop. This rotors are huge and they compliment with the calipers. I did though on getting 380mm rotors for the front but kept them the same as the rears.

No it's more than just clear reflectors and here's the differents vvvv


From what I know the difference between the US and JDM are:
-JDM headlamp is slightly smoked
-US Headlamp is clear
-JDM Clear corner
-US Amber corner
-JDM cut off shield is reversed so the left side beam shoot further
-US beam on the right shoot further
-JDM headlamp - right side projector tilt more when you turn right
-US Heamplamp - right side projectot tilt less when you turn right

that actually sounds like the cutoff is going to be dangerous when driving on a right hand drive street with cutoffs meant for left hand.

That said, absolutely amazing looking car. I don't like the modded RL lights with the amber just removed...this is much, much cleaner. And I'm a huge fan of work wheels! Nicely done, sir.

Actual no problem at all. The headlamps has the us ballast and ignitor only as the Japan version comes without ballast, etc....My headlamps works same as the OEM one I had before

Thank you sir. Soon I will include interior photos as I did a slight change since the last time you saw with Supercomputers pedals.

damn!! hands down love this rl, i should have got the white rl but didn't like the interior at all, it was tan, is yours tan or the topa color(beige) i think its called. but yet love mine black on black.

man your car makes me want to have those bbk. would that size work with stock wheels? they look huge as mentioned before. how much if you dont mind me asking have you spent on that kit?

like the wheels but wish they were more staggered yet i know it isnt good for an awd staggered but would look awesome if they were.

yet still loving it.

Thanks for the compliment....... My interior is black which was very hard for me to find on this combo. In regards to my BBK, I will need 5mm wheel spacers for my OEM 17 inch wheels to fit. Rotora was nice to give me sponsorship so unfortunately I can't disclosure that information but I can refer you to my rep that can provide you with pricing if you're interested.

dang black interior, nice, yea i found one after i bought my rl, found one south va but it was an 05 and had 100k miles for $18k so i was like good i got mine. and mine only had one owner.

also dam so if you need 5mm spacers, the aspec wheels wont fit with that kit? also i would like to speak to your rep, and see what brake kit i can go with. i really want bbk but i have seen some prices and its more than i can afford and to get sponsored, that's amazing. wish i can get sponsored.

well that's real cool man white on black. love it now more.

hey question for your hid fogs, did you use a relay, on my previous tl i had an 06 so i did the accord mod and didn't need them because the high beams didn't shut them off. but with the rl and 07-08 tl i notice the high beams do shut off the fogs. would this affect if i don't use the relay?

oh and thanks 007spy, your a trooper on my grammar.

Rotora only makes one type of brake kit for the RL. 6 piston for front and 4 piston for rears, If you're really interested I can PM you his info. In regards to the hid kit for the fog, it's plug n play without no relay.

I was lucky to find the combo color for my car and to be second owner. The previous owners were old folks and they kept the car prestige condition. The leather was no broken yet and smell like new.

NO, I will remove my work wheels for the winter. I will be putting back my oem acura with 5mm spacers for my BBK clearance.

oo7spy, it was joking i dont take it offensively. And that was me. Happy, i am using periods. see there was like 3. lol.

and thanks for the info on no relay for the fogs zelaya. and i am interested in the brakes i want to see how much they will be. probably like $3-4k. hmmmmmm.... quick question on the spacers, do they have extended studs on them? because what i herd is if you put small spacers your putting more force/ weight on the stock studs.

I haven't order them but planning soon before the winter comes. They quoted me 2 weeks turn around. Call Motorsport Technology 775-351-1000. Here's the website

No problem. In regards to the spacer and bolts, yes it's recommended to get longer bolts which Motorsport Technology can maybe supply you with that. The brake kit will cost more than 4k. Once you're ready I can PM you Rotora information.

Thank you......The rear one comes on built in drum brakes to replace the OEM but overall front and back are 14 inch rotors. My office is located in Bethesda, MD
