Default Just Another Legend.

Another Legend checking in with Koni Red/H&R sport suspension combination. It's been awhile since I have logged on to AL.org but I lurk in the dark corners from time to time. The Legend finally looks worthy to share! Keep in mind I'm no photographer but you get the idea . Questions, comments and criticism welcomed. I am very busy so if I don't respond promptly be patient, I'll get back in here.

TSW


Sunset


TSX Fogs





RL Seats


For Kicks




Soon to be in-dash instead of flip-up

I like it. I've managed to get RL seats done in the back of a Legend but I couldn't get the front seats to work:dunno: Care to share. BTW those TSW are sick, they really make the sedans stick out. Fogs are a nice touch as well.

That's some nice work especially with the rears. I couldn't have done it since the rear wheel rub I experienced once drove me to the point of execution! I'm liking the RL seats and those fogs as well!

I never entertained RL seats for the Goblin! they would be much easier to find...

thanks for the idea.

Thanks guys. I liked how the TSX fogs fill the factory insert better than an OEM fog setup, which is why I opted for a retro. Sorry to hear about the wheel rub Legendary, it can get frightening for sure. The setup is 18x8 +40 front and 18x9.5 +40 rear. I had to get the fenders rolled all around plus a slight pull in the rear to fit the wheels. Without the roll the smell of rubber definitely filled the cockpit. Even with the 04 TL wheels on 235/45/17 it was rubbing without a roll. Now to the RL seats. They really do make the car look much better especially if you have torn leathers. They are a great alternative to upholestry if you can find a set for a good deal. I lucked out and came across a junker RL, taking the full carpet and seats to put in the Legend. Unfortunately I don't have any secrets to the RL front seats and wiring them in a Legend. I banged my head for weeks trying to wire them up and finally gave up because though the Legend is a great vehicle it is just too outdated in terms of wiring compared to new cars. Without a tremendous amount of work it won't happen so I basically swapped rails and called it a day. They are a tight squeeze (wider seats versus the Legend) but with very minimal work and some creativity they fit great and look awesome. The rear seats fit fine and all bolts line up but I had to bend the two "hooks" on the top of the seat a bit.
