Thanks guys.
slowwevo - I love the ce28n, had them on my last car. Personally though with a big wide car like the RL I think the car needs a wheel with some more beefy looking spokes so I had to pass on the ce's.
We've ordered another set of wheels for the RL last week . ETA from Japan is sometime in late May / June.

My coilovers from Japan finally arrived. These are the 1st set outside of Japan . My early impression is the fit and finish is top notch. I'll post up my impressions on how they handle and ride once I get them installed.

Thanks guys. Just a update on the project. The full mugen bodykit has been installed (took us awhile since I had to get the instructions translated from Japanese to English).
I believe this is the 1st RL/Legend outside of Japan to sport this kit. Fit and finish is top notch.
Some changes we did to the kit were 1. front lip chrome inserts were painted to flat black 2. rear diffuser (which is removable btw and functional) was painted phantom grey.
Teaser pic for now, until I clean up the car -

Well, at least I don't have to use the 
on you. Can't wait for the other pics to come!
Does it look stuck-on from close-up? That's been one of my objections to using any of the body kits available for the RL.

Thanks for the feedback guys. The kit comes pre-painted from mugen. One of mr honda's son's runs mugen so you can think of them as amg is to mercedes.
Imho it flows alot better than the other kits available for the RL. Very clean in design. Shipping on this kit ran me about $1200 via air and took about 7 days once it left Japan.

Ok here a much nicer pic. This location is actually pretty interesting because it has been featured many times in the media. Audi USA recently used it to promote the new A5 and it was a spot used in Gran Turismo 4 in the photomode. We had some connections to pull it off, but normally it's very challenging and slightly dangerous if your caught as the fine is about ~6k. Hope you guys enjoy. I'll post up some other angles later

Thanks guys. Coilovers are next on the to do list. Ideally I wanted to install them at the same time I get the wheels in, but the shipment from Japan has been delayed about 3 weeks so I will have the wheels end of June.

Hi John, that would be a great idea, which I would love. However I'm not sure how many RL's we can get out, but I'm willing to try. Last sept I setup a tristate RL meet and only 2 RL's showed, but it was still lots of fun!.
