Thx again folks. Speaking of mods (and ok, you guys are right - I'm going to order the suspension stuff soon), here's what the RL looks like in white, from a gent at the Acurazine forum "Touge". Have mods will travel, on lots of cars, not just ours The perfect car for a wife of this Porsche owner as the Acura is supposed to be so reliable, they don't need much money for service after the sale which equates to more money for mods for my car from the saved maintenance expense


Women love this lovely feminine door

More HP than my 993

Cool mirrors


Cool rear lights


Mods



They even do pedals, just like us

Paint it red?

Women love this interior, even has the paddle shifters

Die cast models, just like we do

I've never even seen or heard of one of these - "New Blitz R-Vit I-Color Installed"

Disneyworld

Things I don't even understand - AEM Cold Air Intake


If you're in the mkt for an RL for YOUR wife after seeing this, check out more of Touge's great pics on http://rl.acurazine.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1

Regards,
Steve R

Steve,

Not bad... I'm sure it was a hard decision. I was thinking about it the other day and I couldn't think of any new car that I'd want to own. Well maybe a new gt3 but that's it. Hope she enjoys it.

I've got a 1998 RL and have had no issues since I bought it used with 34,000 miles in 2002. Great car, but the new ones are even better with more power and AWD.

Enjoy!

Very nice car and you got a good deal.
The RL has never really caught on the way Acura had hoped so the prices are very attractive Wonderful machine with all the toys, enjoy.
