While Christmas shopping over the weekend, parked my white RTL awd next to a Sport here in Bakersfleld CA.

Smart purchase; everyone knows that a white RL gets better gas mileage than black ones.
I keep waiting for this to happen. I suspect it may be a while though. I've only seen 4 in the wild and none ever in a parking lot.
Did the G1 guys ever come up with a special handshake or gang hand signal that we should be doing when we see another G2?

Please no. Someone suggested this a few months back and it was overwhelmingly ridiculed. :smile:

HAHA! I'd imagine...:laugh:
After all, it is not a Jeep or a Corvette... never seen another one other than at a dealer.

Funny I think I've seen both of yours driving around now... For a while I thought I was the only one in B-town...
My wife says there are two other Gen2 RL white ones in town that she has seen driving around. And also a blue one. What color is your RL Toneguy007?

As in my info listed it's Forest mist metallic... I've seen the blue one. I think there's a steel metallic also... That one I believe was bought at Metro Honda as was mine ( as the local dealer seemed to have trouble getting any let alone the RTL-E that I wanted back in August).

I'm in the northwest also... I'd like to checkout the leveling done on yours in person. Maybe take some pics of the standard vs leveling mod.
I live in Orlando, and since ordering my G2, I have only spotted one in the wild. Mine will be modern steel metallic; the one I spotted was lunar silver metallic. At least we will be able to tell them apart :)
I purchased mine early Sept from Rocket town Honda at Lompoc. They gave me a much better deal than here in Bakersfield. RL Toneguy007 we can meet up this Sunday afternoon and you can see the Truxxx leveling kit in person.

Spent the afternoon a week and a half ago with archiemagtibay having lunch in Bakersfield CA... checked out his leveling kit and compared vehicles. here are some pics... you can see the height difference from a standard RL and the front leveled version.

That is way more dramatic then I would have thought it to be and I've had mine in both configurations. Nice shots. I hope you guys had fun in what looks to be much nicer weather. ;)
A neighbor of mine and good friend actually compared the stance of a stock 2017 to this old POS. I knew I had to do something immediately!

He also had the larger aftermarket tires which contributed also to the lift.

Yes good weather that day... we don't have snow in the valley here but its a wet cold... fog and such... chills to the bone when it's 40F or below outside. My RL was iced over when I went to leave a gig last weekend at 2am (34F)...
