after much soul searching was able to locate an rdx to my specifications. I will post pictures of updates as my build goes through.. I have had my eibach springs collecting dust since eibach stopped making them so this will be one of the first things i do.. I also have lighter pulleys which i will be putting on.. after that things will be coming in slowly.. going in for the front windows to be tinted saturday and have ordered the Hoen bulbs for my highbeams and hid 6000k for my fogs, i will also start making carbon parts for the vehicle soon so be on the look out for those!!! =)

Mr Marco

I couldn't zoom-in on that one you sent me and that POS 3G BalckBerry I'm using only has a 2 X 1-3/4" screen!!!

You're ready for a good start! Looking forward to seeing it.

Mr Marco

1. Keep the stock wheels for snow tires.
2. Rip those "Kendal" Honda signs off the plates.
3. Trade headlamp assembly with Mr Marco.

bluecarbonfiber

installed power steering pulley last night. boy what a tight squeeze those pulleys are.. ill try and do the altenator friday so saturday all i need to do is the crank.. following weekend is springs install unless sunday i have some time to do it

user65

I'm not sure if it was my installer, but I noticed an oil leak after putting on the crank pulley. I'm debating whether to put it back on or not. Let us know how it goes.

Great color, Carbon Bronze Pearl? Looks great man, congrats. Look forward to the build.

Mr Marco

Wish I had asked for *ETS logo on top.

Highline is the best in town. Go with the 25%. And be sure to spend some time checking out the fish tank, it's pretty cool.

bluecarbonfiber

ill post if i notive a leak or not.. wouldnt think a seal is that weak there..

not carbon bronze its the carbon grey so its grey with alittle silver to it

better not to then its incognito =) i was thinking 25 or 27.. i read somewhere that the stock has alittle tint already to it so we will see what stock is and what it erik says will best match it.. ive noticed that the windows seem really flimsy?? unlike the tsx that seem solid in the vehicle not sure if thats a normal thing or not

Mr Marco

Mine was rattling again this morning...Gave up trying to deal with it. Hopefully you will not experience that issue. That's what I get for buying the first model year.

Bought the OEM reflective widsheild sunvisor at RTA on Monday. Completely blocks the huge front window. Now I can do lines of coke off a strippers bare chest while parked in front of the Police substation.

bluecarbonfiber

hopefully you put something down to protect the paint those reflecters like to rub on the clear coat.. BTW i was looking at the lines of the bumpers on a 07-09 rdx and the 10-12 version and they look like that could match up.. maybe when we are both bored out our mines we can hook up and see if my theory is true.. would be nice to put a 09 front bumper on the vehicle and add the front lip to it =)

bluecarbonfiber

hid for the fogs came in today.. 6k color! photos hopefully coming this weekend =)

rohit.

Nice pickup! What kind of carbon parts do you plan on making? A CF rear spoiler would be pretty sweet :wink:

bluecarbonfiber

engine bay stuff first.. after that maybe something for the front grill.. thought of a lip spoiler to add for the spoiler havent decided that far ahead

Mr Marco

Just thinking about those little lights in the huge bezel and wondering what it would look like if you did a custom insert with a larger lens...

bluecarbonfiber

i think it would look ugly.. just my opinion though

Mr Marco

Those bezels seem too big and the fog light too small IMHO on the 2010.

bluecarbonfiber

^ very true.. its the bezels that make it look funky

bluecarbonfiber

tint done to match

Mr Marco

Better!!!

Vividsi

looking good

hoen highbeams came in the mail.. pics coming soon... had to replace the battery today too.. went with a optima yellow top d34

Mr Marco

Thinking I'll also upgrade the HB's. The DRL's have reduced the effectiveness of my HB's by 15%.

bluecarbonfiber

the hoens are great.. higly recommended for the price.. i am hoping the pics help but i am sure it wont do it justice..

Mr Marco

Stealing a set from the M5 down the street...

Hey, new to AZ, but not new to forums or the turbo-4 world... Just bought my wife a 2010 RDX yesterday, and I'm looking to do tasteful upgrades... I'm also interested if the 07-09 bumpers will match up to the 2010. I'm loving the rear/side profile, but the front with the shield and foglight bezels are pretty polarizing. I really like the 07-09 look with the lip. Loving everything else about the RDX though.

Anyway, I'm gonna keep an eye on this thread... Interested in your future upgrades!

bluecarbonfiber

some more goodies came in the mail.. received my p2r thermal gasket and K&N typhoon intake! pics coming soon!

McCollins23

Do you have pics of the different lighting upgrades you have done? Wanting to get some different fogs/drl's for the GF's car.

You are gonna love the intake. I put one that I got from the BM on her car and it sounds good.

bluecarbonfiber

i do have pics of the hoens installed.. havent had a chance to do the HID fogs.. been uber busy trying to get my house ready to sell i think the only other thing ill do for the bulds is add the vled triton switchbacks for the parking/turnsignal light then ill be done with those.. i already pulled the fuse in the DRLs i think its a wast that they are constantly on.

bluecarbonfiber

hoen installed on driver side (your right) through out most these pictures

Mr Marco

Must sell a couple other toys on eBay and buy the HB bulbs...

bluecarbonfiber

^ 40 w/shipping.. just dont go to the bar for a week and youre there =)

or you could sell me the TMIC? =)

bluecarbonfiber

RDX officially lowered with eibach springs.. replaced the rear shocks with kyb as well. noticed the kyb is smother then before.. could be that its just a new shock too

ben_shafer

^^Looks good! What % tint did you get on the front to closely match the rear factory tints?

Mr Marco

Just bring me something with alcohol in it.

bluecarbonfiber

i am not sure what the exact % is i told the guy to make it match he said it looked like 24% ish but not sure if that is what he went with

bluecarbonfiber

was already planning on it =) you like Tekillya right?? =)
