Just bought an 05 RL

hey guys I'm new to the forum and I'm the proud owner of a 2005 carbon grey peal with taupe interior for about 2 months now. I couldn't be happier with the Rl and I've already done a few mods including RV6 long tube J pipe, Ralco lightweight crank pulley, H&R springs, garage door lip and some random LED interior lights. Let me know what you guys think.

Welcome! Congrats on the pick up.

Do you have a link to the lip? I don't think we have seen that here before.

Thanks everybody! I am really considering the RV6 PCD's very soon...I love the power this RL has but I'm itching for a little more and I'm hoping I'll see some nice gains with the PCD's

Id take that garage door lip off. Looks cleaner without.

Still gorgeous regardless!

nice look. I had the garage door lip on as well, it will come off on it's own after one winter season.
Did you get real gain with the RV6 long tube J pipe?

To be honest I really didn't notice any real gains, it seems a little "lighter on it's feet" but I think it's just me. I am hoping I'll notice something with the PCD's...has anyone else installed the PCD's and noticed any gains?

And thank you all for the compliments on the car and garage, I love them both!
