My '05 RL
I bought my car last month but I just finally got around getting the windows tinted with 35% Solar Gard (non-metallic) and putting 4 coats of Zaino on.

Enjoy!

Naw, not lowered. I may do ASpec someday, but we'll see. I want to do the iPod adapter and the wood steering wheel before anything else.

Updated pics on the aspec suspension! I wanted to wait because the car is filthy but we are on day 2 of a week long rainstorm. Here is my freshly lowered but dirty car!






I'd like to do the body kit in the next year or so...

Might as well have waited anyway to show us since it takes 500 miles for springs to setle to max drop... You always take pix of car clean. We can wait. It takes away from what youn want us to see instead. .

That's what I did. 500 miles and a week of waiting. Plus on a white car dirt's not nearly as noticeable.

What a coincidence, I've eaten a lot of pizza in Discovery Bay.

is it the angle you are parked.... or does the front sit higher than the rear?? I think it's the way the car sits... i've seen other aspecs that look that way...

H&R sits flatter...albeit even lower..

BTW... it looks good. I think it needs the rear spoiler!! the rear spoiler REALLY makes the car look great!

It does look that way. Frankly, it's been bothering me a little. I'm hoping that it will settle a bit more in the coming weeks. I considered the H&Rs but I didn't want to risk any more of the ride quality without having driven an RL on H&Rs before.

I agree with you on the spolier, but I'll just do the full aspec body kit when I get another bug up my ass. Tax return... ?
