it looks good at some angles and odd at others...

Image

I do like the rear trunk spoiler too...

Image

On white though, it looks a little funky...

Sorry, I'm going to rain on your parade.

Finding the Kouki front was a nice deal. Get every thing else you need to put the front end together, get it painted and quit looking at stuff you don't need. That car needs better wheels before aero, badges and crazy exhaust systems. And it needs maintenance before wheels.

But as far as the aero goes, I don't like the Mode Parfume because of the 'GM-like' license plate recess. And I'm not feeling the exhaust and badges.

Did some research... The EVOLUTION AERO is $1,300+ for the lip kit minus the spoiler.
Image

The Garage answer front lip is $605
Image

The Mod Parfume front bumper alone is $1,100+ without fog lights...
Image

And the rear trunk spoiler alone is $430+...

The badges are ok, but the exhaust is NOT something I'd buy, but I posted it since I never expected to see a side exit exhaust on an RL, as for the maintenance... I plan to finish that up this weekend.

These aero parts are not a necessity either, but there is no harm in shopping and seeing what i like and what others like as well. As for the grill and such, these are needed in order to finish the conversion and if I can trade parts off my old Civic for them, then that works for me.

I like the Evolution lip kit better than the full bumper replacement.

Love the garage answer also

Like I've told you before, the RL/Legend is not cheap to mod lol. I sent you the link for the trunk spoiler that will save you $415 haha but if it were me, I would put aside the money and do the mode parfume bumper. It's just plain secks. I don't know if it's the angle of the pic but I don't like the garage answer at all.

That is the 1 thing I will probably NEVER get is a roof spoiler
