What do you guys think ?. 220 miles on it so far and I've loved everyone!. Can't wait till I mod it =).

 

wow... great pictures.. the city backdrop is awesome! I'm guessing thats somewhere in Manhatten?

 

Yep it's near manhatten.

 

Nice pics! Are you from LIC?

 

Nice car. Great pics! Can you come and photograph my car

 

Nice photography... usually I don't comment (i mean, an RL is an RL, I know what it looks like I've owned two of 'em.... ) but damn, that's some good camera work.

 

Treblig, sure drive to new york city hehe

jftjr, thanks

 

Wow! I am speechless!!!! THAT SPEEDO IS SOOOO NICE! I just ventured over from the 2nd gen tl section for the first time... was suprised by the lack of posts in the photo forum here.. back to the point, CAR LOOKS GREAT!

 

Thanks, the gauges also are lit up during the day.

 

Looking at the Speedo is just inspirational! lol i wonder if it would fit in a 02 tls? tho I doubt it

 

You mentioned "Can't wait till I mod it =)." I have brand new 06 RL and besides maybe adding some tint to the windows cannot think of anything else I would change about it.... This is ofcourse after I get it back from the body shop from my accident... What mods are you planning? BTW awesome pics...
Thanks,
Ted

 

calichris517, yeah i highly doubt it to man.

tedbell - i wanted to do the mugen spoiler, volk racing 19" te-37's with hopefully 275 width tires if they fit, a-spec bodykit or mugen and some coil overs - tein or mugen. Althought I like the a-spec suspension upgrade for the price.

 

added one more -

 

Great taste! I'd probably do the same, minus the TE's. Had em on my S2000, which looked great, but not sure how they'd look on the RL. I'd rather do a multipiece, non-chrome wheel ala HRE or Work.

I've heard that the Tein coilovers will be made available to the US public via their distributors shortly. But you can still buy them overseas or import them of course.

I'll be back in jp next year for the auto salon and this time I'll be equipped with a xmas list of goodies for the RL and LS!

 

Thanks BKW. Are you planning on some coil overs also ?. I had le28n on my last car - www.visionaryracing.com/diff3.jpg and loved those. I am also still wondering if gold te-37's will look out of place myself on the RL. Might photoshop something b4 I buy to see if I like it.

I went to TAS this year and it was crazy, you will definetely have a great time in Japan. I so want to go back!

 

I've defintely seen your car around, nice wrx!

Gold Te's are sexy as hell, but since this is the wife's car, dunno if I'd go that blingy. I've already convinced the wife that she needs to modify the suspension, and we're just waiting for something of quality to hit the market.

Don't want to turn this into a wheel discussion, but here are a couple of forged, but non-multipiece wheels I'd definitely consider:





And about TAS.. I've gone every year since 1999, always had an awesome time!

 

bkw, sent you a pm =).

 

one with the new tint -

 

Nice car.Nice pics

 

Did you known that H&R does have coilovers for the RL? choices..choices...

 

UW, yep I saw those too. However they are off my list. H&R from my experience is more stiff than most brands, so back to tein, mugen or a-spec. I'm so confused.

 

beautfiul pics! should be pro.

by the way, the first set was taken in Newport with NYC background?

 

Sorry I missed this one. Must do tint soon.

You MUST be a professional photographer, or a serious hobbyist. You manage the complex lighting in those locations so well. I worship your expertise...

 

Enigamous, thanks. No these were taken in Queens.

Thanks Bob... no not a pro, but maybe close . Still have so much to learn about photography, but it is one of my hobbies.

 

when is the next acura meet in NY?

 

What Camera do you have? Awesome pictures.

 

enigmaos - actually I think I'm going to post a roll call thread in general so that we can see how many RL members we have so that we can do a photoshoot.

pimpin_tl - canon g6

 

Great pics, Touge. I guess the first series were shot near Astoria or Roosevelt Island. The second (solo) pic looks like it could be from Flushing Meadows.

I spent $450 and got myself a Canon digital camera this past Christmas. I only used it once during the day. Admiring your masterpiece, I got to use it for night shots, at least once.

 

Thanks Kenny. Yep 1st set were near Astoria. The 2nd solo pic with the tint is at the new atlas shopping mall.

 

I love the interior of the RL. I would have loved to get one but mom wouldn't budge. The guages are so nice in the pic and even nicer in person.

 

Did a quick mod today, installed new rear license plate led's. This way the rear end of the lights also have a hid look to them. Wasn't as an easy mod as I thought though. I love our tail lights, so nice.

 

can you let us know which LED bulbs you used. Thanks.

 

uw rl - they are a 5 led wide light bulb. I got them from superbrightleds.com . For some reason in the pic they look way brighter than they do in real life.

 

What do all the bulbs on the side view mirror do? I've test driven an RL...but never looked @ it in THAT much detail...this looks interesting though.

Awesome car btw!

 

They're turn signals (amber)... and they're REALLY BRIGHT. They light up street signs quite some ways away...

 

Changed the foglight bulbs out today, now they match the hid's color, next mod is perhaps the mugen rear wing...

 

Even hotter than before...haha. Are those halogen fogs or HID fogs? Do you have a picture of the Mugen rear wing for the RL?

 

Nah they are halogen 4300k bulbs, the stock hid's are so bright that I didn't bother putting in hid's on the fog's.

Mugen wing is on there site. I ordered it from Japan today. It's expensive, but does come pre-painted and I will be the 1st one outside of Japan to have it I believe . Should be here very soon and then I'll post up some more pics of it =)

 

Could you send/publish the how much and from whom data on the Mugen wing. I want one too....will they do stock colors for USA cars?

TIA.

JB

 

Hi JB, pm'd you some info on the mugen wing. Thanks.
