They are like a fake intercoolers, cross drilled brake covers and Type-R stickers....just for show until I can finish the wiring (hopefully this weekend!)

Royal grey? check.
Silver roof? check.
Silver u-shaped bonet stripe? check.

I'm soooo happy i ordered when i did- a few more weeks, and all of the above would have been discontinued... yay!

Well, Its been a little while since I posted here. We've had Wyatt almost a year and I hit 30k miles yesterday. Last Saturday we decided to make our RG/RG a little more unique.

As always, Eric Frye with Artistic Signs & Graphics does an amazing job with design and installation.

In the daylight:


With the flash, notice the bling?



Yes, it is Camo with reflective orange stripes. It looks amazing, even from me. Eric did an fantastic job!!

I think the car looked better before without the lamps.

the lamps appear too large and float too high above the bumper.

KTsMOM- WOW! those are some of the best looking stripes i've seen- the reflective orange really gives the whole look an incredible kick. dramtically different from every other RG out there... very well done!

fishbulb- nice lamps. they are a bit big, and they do float a bit high, but i still like the overall look they produce... very retro.

Royal Gray and 7 interior is my first choice. Actually, I like the Pepper White too but I like the RG/7 more.

I took her to the park today:

Royal Grey was my first choice for sure...my second was Dark Silver, then Pure Silver ... But I loved the RG and the Silver roof combo especially with the u stripe, when I saw that was an option I fell in looooveeee...

Picked up my Royal Grey a couple of weeks ago. Was unsure about the color in the beginning but it's really growing on me. Had the Chile Red MC40 before.
In for body kit painting this week, but here it is as delivered..
