Lowering the RL isn't as easy as with the TL. TL owners have tons of coilover kits, shocks and lowering springs to choose from. RL owners have the ASpec suspension kit, H&R sport springs and $2k Teins to choose from. If you want to donate a $2,000 set of Tein coilovers to me I will be more than happy to put them on my car.

Sick!

 

I'm picking up my RL from the body shop tomorrow. More pics to come after I get a new camera for Xmas. One thing always leads to another and now I need to figure out what I am going to do about the exhaust. Most likely just Jpipe and new tips.
Installed Tein comfort sport, Mugen kit/spoiler/visors, wood steering wheel/knob, Navi, Osram bulbs, HID fog lights.

 

 

You, my friend..... are a total close minded idiot!

 

Hello all! I'm a new member. I'd like to introduce you all to the love of my life PeaRL

 

Looks promising, but you need to fix the white balance in your pictures.

 

New member here, and this is my 2010 RL. Only mods I've done so far is 35% window tints on front and rear, LED interior lights and I just plasti dipped my stock rims.

Future mods include blacked out grill, LED DRLs, LED fog lights, JDM Honda Legend headlights (don't think they're worth $800 but they look sick!) and blue LED strip interior foot well lights.

 

Welcome. RL looks good. I plasti dipped my stock rims also but they didn't look as good as yours. Did you do it yourself or professional?

 

I did it myself, I watched a bunch a videos on youtube from dipyourcar. I did have issues with one of my rims near the center cap because I went a little heavy on the spray...it got a little blotchy ended up with a textured finish, but it's barely noticeable. It's still bothers me every time I look at it, so I'lll probably peel off that rim and redo it at some point. Overall I spent $20 and about 3 hours (1hr for cleaning rims), and I'm pretty happy with the results. Already got a ton of compliments on it.

BTW your car is looking pretty mean too! You got post some more pics with less whiteout, pics are not doing your car justice!

 

Anyone recall what the setup on this was? Wheel size/ tire and suspension setup?

 

Per his build thread, it's base shocks/struts on H&R springs

He doesn't give specific info on the wheels other than they are 20's

 

Thanks,
Do you know what brand shocks/struts you get from the dealership if you buy there? Are they indeed the KYBs or something else?

 

No I'm not sure.

 

They are definitely not KYB. Those are the only aftermarket brand we have seen here.

What setup are you running for bags and management? So many Mugen kits in here lol

 

Wake this shit up since it's always dead in any RL forum.

The last picture shows my concern the best. Overall I like the concept, but isn’t the twin stripes on the hood about 2x too wide to match the painted portion of the grill surround?

 

I actually was following the outer contour of the hood if you look closer. I personally like the step into the grill, but I guess it’s up to preference!
