Shonuff, what a crappy piece of...j/k Seriously :eek: WOW :eek: me like! Your RX looks awesome!!! I'm FOR SURE going for the Maniks now, and what about those wheels? What's the story on those, spacers needed? I think I am going to copy you I mean dammit!! I keep deciding to keep my factory wheels b/c I am happy with them and people keep posting kick a** wheels - 18's look great on the RX.

Now, you will have to post more pics

check the tail light thread for the back. got a lot more stuff coming lex........mirror covers and tailgate handle cover (chrome from japan =) )

building a cold air box for the intake. aluminum and plexiglass.

going back to the shop for a new alarm with remote start and pager. also hopefully we'll be finishing the 10.4" lcd install in the dash. first one didn't work out like i wanted. hopefully i will be ready for the texas heatwave show this year. fiberglassing the subs in the rear.............i got a serious bug to work on the rx finally.


i wanted to dual out the exhaust so bad....but that damn black box is in the way on the drivers side. i can't tell in that german pick if it was there or not.

the rims are edge logics 18x7.5 spacers on the rear. fronts rub at full turn. 255/55/18 pirelli scorpion zero's.

"and what about those wheels? What's the story on those, spacers needed? I think I am going to copy you I mean dammit!!

I thought about that when I first saw the pic, and from what I can see I think they did remove the black box. I really can't figure out exactly what it's for

looks like anti lock brakes or maybe fuel.....not sure....there are a couple of hard lines running to it.

found the maniks at the tint shop i went to 379$ installed......best i could find on the net was 357$ plus shipping and then i would have had to install them..........too much work hahaha

149$ great deal.......they did all 10 windows (strip on windshield). top of the line llumar tint. and they even had to remove the old tint off of the front windows. but i brought them my car, wifes car, moms car, nd a friend. i did a group buy by myself hahahahaha

looks like it would be a lot of work to move the lines and whatever is underneath the plastic box............i'll hack and cut, but i'm scared of that thing for some reason lol. i'm going with a dual tip stainlesss exhaust.

That is the only think I could think of. The box protected the wires and lines that ran around the back.

Where is that tint shop - not a bad deal for the Maniks...installed. As for the price for all 10 windows, I'd like to get that deal

If you can find a nice looking dual tip exhaust (like the MDX's) it look cool. I want that if not the RMM one. My problem would be fitting it with the trailer hitch. I don't know if I can squeeze a dual tip one on. I'm following in your steps Shonuff

thanks for the good words guys.

the eyelid thing is dead......i posted it on another thread. nopi kept telling me they were on the way, week after week after week. i called them the other day and they finally told me to forget aboit it. they have been on back order for a while and erebuni has been giving them problems for a while. so unless you know where to find some other ones???? i want to order a set cause i know my guy can take a mold and make them for cheaper. any ideas?

i'll post a pick of my dual tip exhaust when it gets here.

nick: come on down to sunny corpus christi.........i can get you the same deal hahaha. the general manger is pretty cool. gonna give me the ventshades for 55$ dunno if i want them though.
