You mentioned "Can't wait till I mod it =)." I have brand new 06 RL and besides maybe adding some tint to the windows cannot think of anything else I would change about it.... This is ofcourse after I get it back from the body shop from my accident... What mods are you planning? BTW awesome pics...
Thanks,
Ted

calichris517, yeah i highly doubt it to man.
tedbell - i wanted to do the mugen spoiler, volk racing 19" te-37's with hopefully 275 width tires if they fit, a-spec bodykit or mugen and some coil overs - tein or mugen. Althought I like the a-spec suspension upgrade for the price.

I've heard that the Tein coilovers will be made available to the US public via their distributors shortly. But you can still buy them overseas or import them of course.
I'll be back in jp next year for the auto salon and this time I'll be equipped with a xmas list of goodies for the RL and LS!

Thanks BKW. Are you planning on some coil overs also ?. I had le28n on my last car - www.visionaryracing.com/diff3.jpg and loved those. I am also still wondering if gold te-37's will look out of place myself on the RL. Might photoshop something b4 I buy to see if I like it.
I went to TAS this year and it was crazy, you will definetely have a great time in Japan. I so want to go back!

I've defintely seen your car around, nice wrx!
Gold Te's are sexy as hell, but since this is the wife's car, dunno if I'd go that blingy. I've already convinced the wife that she needs to modify the suspension, and we're just waiting for something of quality to hit the market.
Don't want to turn this into a wheel discussion, but here are a couple of forged, but non-multipiece wheels I'd definitely consider:
And about TAS.. I've gone every year since 1999, always had an awesome time!

UW, yep I saw those too. However they are off my list. H&R from my experience is more stiff than most brands, so back to tein, mugen or a-spec. I'm so confused.

Enigamous, thanks. No these were taken in Queens.
Thanks Bob... no not a pro, but maybe close
. Still have so much to learn about photography, but it is one of my hobbies.

enigmaos - actually I think I'm going to post a roll call thread in general so that we can see how many RL members we have so that we can do a photoshoot.

Great pics, Touge. I guess the first series were shot near Astoria or Roosevelt Island. The second (solo) pic looks like it could be from Flushing Meadows.
I spent $450 and got myself a Canon digital camera this past Christmas. I only used it once during the day. Admiring your masterpiece, I got to use it for night shots, at least once.

Did a quick mod today, installed new rear license plate led's. This way the rear end of the lights also have a hid look to them. Wasn't as an easy mod as I thought though. I love our tail lights, so nice.

uw rl - they are a 5 led wide light bulb. I got them from superbrightleds.com . For some reason in the pic they look way brighter than they do in real life.

Nah they are halogen 4300k bulbs, the stock hid's are so bright that I didn't bother putting in hid's on the fog's.
Mugen wing is on there site. I ordered it from Japan today. It's expensive, but does come pre-painted and I will be the 1st one outside of Japan to have it I believe . Should be here very soon and then I'll post up some more pics of it =)
