Looking good. The drop is too aggressive for me with that wheel. I'd raise it a half finger gap or so but thats just my tastes. I like what you've done with the car, especially the wheels.
I think I'm going to go ahead and rewire my fogs the only way I know how which is what you did. I personally don't feel like trying to figure out how to get the fog light switch to power them on independent of the headlights.
Only problem is that when you lock or unlock the car, the fogs will keep cutting on and off like the corner lights do. Oh well, maybe I'll figure something else out. I dont feel like doing an independent switch either

The fog lights are on an independent switch, just interrupt the power supply and give it your own.

Damn. I suppose you rolled the fenders a bit? I'm amazed you don't rub on the inside of the front wheels.

You're really good at making friends aren't you? There is no camber kit for the RL.

RL looks good.

On a side note, the CR-V is dope. I actually pondered those Lexani wheels for my car when I was wheel hunting. They are very similar to the Vossen VVSCV1 but offer a lot more color options.
