I like your wheels, what are they? and how did you blacked out the pieces, paint?
I have thought about doing the same with both my cars, but I am always reluctant to the idea because of heat build up. Having said that, I think that your RDX looks pretty nice.

if you get a good adhesive heat build up wont be that bad.. i forget which company it is I think its 3M they make a stick on that also has a clear to it so you can actually polish it too (not wax) it can last up to 7 years as well (given diff weather conditions)

Diffuser....I just saw a white Edge with the glass roof and it looked nice, like your car....I realized that it would not look as nice in mine since I have rails; which begs the question, can you have a roof rack if you have that panorama glass roof sunroof?

IDK about panorama glass roof with roof racks... but blacked out roof with roof rails has to look SICK.

Did you actually perform/did the roof mod? or did you pay someone?

I paid someone to do it 325.00 (roof, Grill, and front spoiler) but price is normally higher! some places charge up to 350 just the roof.

Everyone (almost) seems to be liking what you have done with your car...I can't wait to see more photos...I think would be better without the mudflaps, much cleaner and simpler look, but we'll see...

I wouldn't lower my RDX (my lowering itch has far gone away since my last car) but I really like the way yours looks. Kind of tunerish, but since you don't have some obnoxious body kit it looks really good. I think everything looks very clean!

U are right about the mud flaps I have mix feeling about them. But I already paid and installed them so might as well rock them lol. Just waiting to black out headlights and I will post pictures...

The Honda community also seems to like what I did to it. I just hope this motivates others into modding their RDX so companies could see and support us with accessories
.
Thank you all for the positive comments. This is what make people like me take the risk and try new things. In the end its risky but worth it.

It's lowered on PhotoShop. If I don't find the springs to lower it, I might end up buying CRV coilovers but still need to do more research on the spring rate.
Was told I could use TL springs etc..
Anyway for that I need to research and need $$$ LOL

Sounds good! If you lower it and it looks like the picture, make sure you get a spacer for the front wheel so it'll be flush like the rear wheel. The rear wheel in that picture looks perfect if you can get it like that in real life!

I like your black grill.
Is it black mat or glossy?
