** Updated photos **
Hi Guys, after many attempts without success, I finally decided to do a photoshoot with some minor changes I've done to the RL. Here's my humble RL By no means, I'm not a professional photographer but eager to learn more every day.

Damn that's gorgeous! I love it!The only thing I would recommend is lowering it just a little more. Don't slam that shit but just close the wheel gap a little more

Thank You.
Thank You
Thanks you for your sincere comments.
I actually I lower it about 1/4 less what I had before with my H&R springs but unfortunately if I lower it more I will be scrapping the front spoiler every time coming out of the parking lot at work plus my wife drives it sometimes. She already hates driving it.
Thanks, I bought it from a vendor here by the name of Supercomputers. This kit was made for the TL 3rd generation. The gas and brake pedals fits perfect.

Thank you Raymond for your comments. I was a little skeptical for crossing private property at the industrial place. I had a lot of ideas of style but when I got there my mind was blank plus my daughter and wife was no help. Overall I think I did okay coming from amateur photographer.

Nice first pic! You're like a dog waiting at the window for his owner to come home trying to hold back his excitement. (No offense intended)
Is it interior trim? The boxes look a little small for the passenger side though...

No offend at all. Your're cool guy. I was actually looking at the ladies passing by and suddenly I saw the fedex truck coming in. I got the interior trim last Friday and waiting for the last 4 pieces to come so NO trim on this boxes......

I know better than to trust you on how long something will take to mod. :wink: Who wants to put bets on how long they stay red?

Haha, I'll lay off. I'm not doggin your new setup; I just know you had the stockies painted. Your ride is probably the sickest RL here so don't give too much thought to my jealous comments.

I really like your rear end (NO HOMO!), but seriously the exhaust tips you have with the rear lip piece is just spot on... well done.
Nice to see some of your new parts are arriving your car looks sharp as it is but the steps your taking are surely not overdone in anyway. I should have painted my car white.

Trying to catch to you Tyler...
I haven't install it yet. I will need to remove the front and rear dust shield cover completely to install the new rotors. I don't know if I will need to get 5mm wheel spacers. Crossing my fingers!!!! Hope not.
The new calipers are 1 inch wider than stock ones and I only have 3/8 inch more on clearance.
Rotora sells the complete kit for $5,090.00 plus shipping

$5k... OUCH!
your car looks gorgeous though! I've put VERY few mods on my RL.. but I modded the CRAP out of a former car.. spend at least $10k+ on it.... in retrospect I wish I hand't spent so much..but at the time, it was a lot of fun and I loved the car....
if you have the money.. enjoy it.. go for it. you only live once....

wow that's way too much for something you will never use because your car is underpowered ? You need a supercharger now to make up for it lol
When all you needed was really good pads?? I guess just for looks then... have fun

When I bought the RL is was pretty much for my wife to drive but as I slowly started modding the RL unplanned for, now she rather drive my BMW. I could never predicted I've come this far. I could never stop saying that this forum is addicted and has place a HUGE hole in my pocket but I'm happy how the RL has come this far.Rotora BBK price tag is under statement and it was in my wish list but luckily they gave me partial sponsorship and it was a offer I couldn't leave behind.
Stay tuned for more photos to come once the brakes are fully install I'm doing another photoshoot. I'm also replacing the wood dash trim for the 2011 RL black wood. Just waiting for my last 4 pieces to come. Hope replacing this trims won't be a PITA.

If Acura ever had done an A-spec RL it would look like yours. What a tastefully done car bro. I must comment that I think the Red calipers are a great touch to all that white. That exhaust looks mean. I've always liked big dual tips vs. quad set-ups. What exhaust is it? Eventually you should include what car you have an all mods in your sig.
