Hey guys,
Just picked up my 04 Touring w/Nav last night, black on black and love it. I've got my eyes on some accessories/factory stuff and was wondering if anyone had better suggestions than what I'm thinking.

Xenon Headlights - H11 4300k kit from xenondepot.com for $224

Chrome Nerf Bars - eBay generic brand for like $160-180 shipped

Remote start for factory alarm - Crimestopper RS-1300 unit for $40-80

New remote fob - eBay maybe???

Updated nav disk - eBay if I can find it or maybe direct from Alpine


Cant think of anything else I'm dying to get for it and even all these can wait a little, I'm sure I'll be enjoying the newness of this car for a while. Well hopefully I'll be seeing you guys around this forum a lot more and thanks for the help!

Definitely do the HIDs. I think this car should have came with them.

+1 on the hid's (low beam)

i have them with 6k and they look great, they don't look too flashy or blue but like the ones in land rover (white with a little touch of blue)

make sure you mount the ballasts in a stable place too

Where did you mounts yours?

007Acura

when you open up the hood there are some empty holes so i attached them there because it's out of the way and not too close to the engine where it would accumulate extra heat. i have had them in for about 5 months and they have been working and holding up great. heres some pics

007Acura

also how do you like your rear led license plate LED's, where did you get them?

FiftyFive

Hm, thats kinda like where mine are but mine are a little higher. i should probably think about relocating them this weekend. Thanks for the pics.

Anyone have a pic of the HID headlights after it's been completed?

007Acura

Nice! Thanks. The MDX should have def had factory xenons..

Get the wood wheel and wood shift knob. Full size spare is highly recommended, too.

Hi, I just joined the list and just bought a 2004 MDX black/black with Nav and 39,000 miles. My MDX came with side fender flares that give it a more muscular look. I would recommend those. It also came with factory nerf bars...those are a must, especially with the black on black....make the crome details pop. Also the rear spoiler is nice. My car also came with a Acura front bumper guard...not too sure I like it too much, but it does add to the chunky look. I also have the wood wheel and shift knob and it really give the interior a classy look....again especially with balck interior as it helped break up the black in a subtle way.

Congrats both of you on your new NBP MDXs ...my suggestion is to add a rear spoiler and new wheels (look great on black)...here's mine as an example:

I am considering getting the rear spoiler in the near future along with the side steps.

how do I insert a picture of my MDX? I clicked insert image but it wants a url address....can I just copy a pic from my computer?

FiftyFive

You will actually have to host your image online first. I use www.imageshack.us

Once you have uploaded the image, imageshack will give you a URL to where it is stored, that i what you put in that box when it asks for a url address.

Here is a photo of my newly accuired 2004 MDX with trimings

I'll try again....do you guys see a photo? I don't.

Its still a link, you have to actually copy the link location of each pic, usually best done by hosting it on a pic hosting site, ie imageshack.us. I can see the pics in the link though. Looks Good!

Type34

Here you go NCGB...

NCGB

Thanks Type34....how did you do that?

I think I read that I may not be able to post pics as a newbee?

Nice find! Congrats!
