Not sure if dig the cf weave or not, but you definitely get a thumbs up for going mugen!

Can you please get a side profile shot? I was hoping that this spoiler would look like the back yard special on the ap1, but judging from the initial pics, I guess not.

hey Touge, what kind of settings do you have on your camera that made up the night shots. Usually they are "orange-ish" and dark even after some exposure. But I can never figure out how to take night shots. Enlighten me, please. Thanks!

Thanks special e. dition =)

UW RL, I use full manual controls with custom aperature (usually f4.0 - 7.1) and over 1 second exposure times for the night shots. Also a tripod is a must at night.

Installed a Apexi RSM tonight in the center console. It also has a feature to defeat the cars speed limiter. Taking the console apart is not fun on this car, but those ktc tools helped

Yep it adds about 20hp. I used my Apexi RSM to do a power output test. The extra power is quite noticeable!.

The sound is also amazing, makes the car sound like a G35 Coupe when you floor it. Pm'd you guys some more info.

Got the pulley on today guys, wow this has to be the best mod yet that I've done!. Low end torque and power are up dramatically. The power can be felt all across the rev range. It really makes the RL feel like it had a v-8. Pm me if you want one. Thanks.

Sorry no installed pic as this is one mod I had a shop do, but here is one of it before installation -

Pm'd you Roy. It's hard to dyno this car due to the sh-awd, but I do plan to do some more dyno runs with the apexi rsm.

Oh it's not the lack of awd dyno's, it's the issue with sh-awd. On subaru's awd system there is a fixed 50/50 split. On the RL there is no way to lock it. Temple of v-tec when they tested the rdx on the dyno had to disconnect the driveshaft. Which is not worth doing imho. Pm'd you on the intake.
