Thanks for showing me how to post pics. Will have to start my own thread. Lowered on H&Rs, tinted and rebadged. Wheels have been ordered.

Now you just gotta work on rotating your pics

Looks very clean though, don't see beige RLs too often

Some quick parking garage pics..

Still needs to have the height dialed in & the rear quarters rolled. Rubbing wasn't all that bad this morning..

Looks sick! I've always wanted to see these on an RL. Where did you find extended studs? I tried finding some a few months ago and had no luck

Rides a lot better than I thought it would. Serious rubbage in the rear without being rolled but that should be solved tomorrow and then MOAR low..

As for the studs, they were a BITCH to find. Ended up messaging JDMCRX & he got me batch through a friend of his from the motherland (Japan). Initially made for a Tundra, same specs..

Definitely looks good. What are you going to do for center caps?

I have the BMW caps but not throwing on a BMW logo. Contemplating painting the wheels black but the silver really pops

Please don't. You'll loose a lot of the depth and the concave that shows now.

Stay silver, make vinyl stickers to cover the BMW logo that have the Acura logo

Are the center caps a different size than Acura's?

I'm also surprised to hear the studs are for a Tundra. I didn't realize hey made a 5 lug wheel. Unless I'm not understanding what an extended stud is...

He means the studs are just longer... doesn't matter the bolt pattern. It would matter the thread size though...

Thread size/pitch, knurl diameter, overall length.. It was mind numbing looking through various catalogs looking for matching numbers. Oh and the set came with 24 studs.

As for the caps, I'll have to try them out tonight

Some more pics, freshly washed but only had enough tire shine for one wheel...











Have a new painted hood trim waiting to go on. Have to cut the old one out since the bolts are all stripped..

10mm spacer. Could probably get away with a 7mm but don't feel like spending more money to find out

There's a Tundra number that makes sense.

Your RL looks great!

The only things I would change if the car was in my hands is the rear license plate frame and I would bring back the chrome on Acura emblem on the front grille.

Probably the first ever A-spec RL I've seen that exists in Ontario...

How are you driving around the GTA without a front plate....

Cops just fiend for those without a front plate

Very carefully


Actually got sniped a few weeks ago for no front plate $110 .. Cop was pretty cool though, said to get it "fixed" and it'll get thrown out at the First Attendance Meeting.


It's actually funny that the RL gets overlooked by cops (**Knocks on wood**), maybe cuz its quiet . I passed a cop radaring on the 401 the other day doing 130ish km/h and he didn't even flinch.

Your car, your choice. I thought MSW opened the opinion flood gates, so I was just following along.

Your car looks good. Some choices I would've done differently, but it's not mine. So, you shouldn't care.
