U R the only poster that types above the post instead of below it. It's like the post you are quoting is answering what you type instead of nthe opposite.
I digress...
You should do blk vinyl roof. Will match good with the ting and other black areas on the car. Nice car otherwise. The grill over the fog lights are odd though.
.
Cheers...

Thank you for letting me know. I've never pay any attention. I did had the idea to paint the roof black but I change my mind.

It's little whiter than the original paint of the car. It's very hard to match a 5 year old car with pearl white color. My only hope is to detail the entire car to fix the issue. My body shop mentioned to give it couple weeks before the fresh paint to blend a little. Crossing my fingers.

Black vynil roof gloss black on your car will look so good against the dark tint. I'm doing the same thing my next mod. There is a thread about white TL's with black roof which will give you an idea of what im describing.

This is the first time I ventured away from the 2nd Gen CL section of this forum as I have been pondering the thought of an RL for a dialy driver (I live in upstate NY) and after looking at your pics it has turned the "thought" into an answer! Beautiful car man! Not to thread jack but do you have any negative thoughts about the car? Im looking at 05-06.

No problem at all. If you're thinking on buying a RL look for 06 to 08 model.
Thank you
I paid $2980 shipped without painting and installation
No I didn't order online. I ordered mine from Kingmotorsports
It takes about 45 days. KM place orders once a month.

Looks like the shipping company definitely payed attention to the "Fragile" sticker. LOL
Love the look of the car. I think the rims would look better without a lip though due to the lip making them look a little smaller than they really are.

Actually it was shipped through Fedex but yes I was lucky the boxes was not bang up. I'm thinking on doing a trip to NYC sometime in summer or maybe if you come to Maryland we can do a photoshoot.
Just installed the exhaust couple minutes ago with my nephew. It was a PITA installing it on the floor specially the original bolts was not coming out. The sound of the exhaust is perfect and not comparing to those cheap exhaust on the market. I think 5zigen built this exhaust the right way. I'm surprised my wife like the way it sounds. She is not into cars. Once coilover are install I'm doing another photoshoot and try to do a sound video.

Please do show pictures. I'm thinking on keeping same height 1.5 front and 1.4 for rear because of my Mugen kit I don't want to scrape it. In my office I've to get the car on reverse in order not to touch the front lip on the pavement. I wish I can go a little lower but I don't want to take that chance.

I like the black fog light grill more than the silver ones you see on other Mugen kits. Nice job!

Thank you. I know. I like it how it looks now. I hope I won't get pull over for not having amber light on my corners. In the worse case I'll just install one and call it a day.
Thank you. I did though on leaving it with chrome look but it was not matching with lower grill so now it has the stealth look.
Here's one I took with the exhaust on. Sorry for crappy pic.

One word..."Flawless"
I think if you smoke out the mirror signal and the rear signal it would add a touch. But thats just me.
On the side note I apologized for the mishap for the headlamp. I hope it doesnt causes anything on the output. So I apologized for the shipping via UPS.
