Nice bro. I think i looked at your RL while i was there. I used to drive a white Legend that follows the same body lines as the RL.

Like the one I have on my STI. Haha.
It's the versus motorsports bumper,...not very common on the 3rd gen TL. I have seen pics of another white TL with the same bumper but other than that none others. Someone else on clubrsx also said it looks like the INGS bumper.

Yeah it really does, the design.
Especially the sides. If you look at ING's kits...most of them have a design like that.

Did they come with the side spoiler things?

I love this car, but the cf hood needs to come back. I dunno about the emblem, maybe if it was placed correctly it would look better. (its too low) Either way, this car is one of a kind for sure.

thanks guys.

the cf hood looks good from a distance, but when you're right at it the quality is atrocious! (horrible) ...so until i figure out what to do with the hood situation im just going to drive around with the oem one.

OMP prelude guy made a custom vent on his so maybe i'll do something along the lines of what he did.

If I was going this crazy on a TL, I would've tried swapping out the motor and drivetrain w/ the RL hah SHAWD ftw. Maybe even a custom wide-body?

And the Red H will always get on peoples nerves but thats ok! I love it and enjoy confusing people as some still to this day tell themselves it's a TSX they're looking at...i overheard someone saying "look at that tsx" while i was at nopi.
Eric man, I'm just glad you are having fun with hooking your car up! I'm a real fan of the aesthetics!

The "H", Meh, I can do without, and I loved the CF hood. I hope you can bring it back. But I do understand the need at times for a "change-up".

This is still one of my personal faves on AZ and will continue to be! After all, it's really only "semi-WDP"! Hahahaha! Keep having fun bro!

P.S. - What about this vent?:

You know what I may try to get down there. I will PM you for you number we can meet up if I make it down that way. Still have the RSX and it's great. The project is going a little slow because of lack of funds but still adding new parts seems like monthly.

Hell yeah i'll definitely be at VIR this weekend for sure. The weather will be mid 80s and sunny unlike last year (40s and cold drizzle) that shit was for the birds!

The Spoon cars will not be there though

Let me know if anyone wants to go. There is a thread in OFF TOPIC under meets.

i believe you've got those splitters from VIS motorsports. i tried not to buy anymore body kits from them, 'cause they use cheap materials.......my previous car i used to have, the paint started chipping off on front bumper badly. And Chris is an asshole with capital 'A'!

Bulletproof Automotive..phone sales..Amanda was her name.

I saw the product in a magazine and immediately knew it was something that might work. I looked it up on the internet and found the dimensions and made a lifesize model of it using computer paper and went to the rear of the TL and held it up to see how it would look...deemed it a doable thing and made the call to Bulletproof.

Weren't you looking to do a carbon fiber roof?
