Just joined the ranks of RDX ownership

I just bought a 2008 RDX tech a couple days ago. Awesome car. has 65K miles and picked it up with a 3 year ford warranty for 20K. Warranty covers everything form the turbo to the speakers. Any suggestions on mods i should install?

Just make sure you understand your warranty and don't invalidate it with your mods.

Welcome to the family!!

I would go for front spoiler; I think the 07-09 RDX looks a little sportier with the front spoiler. Then I would go for:
- tint,
- all weather floor mats,
- body side moldings,
- trailer hitch or roof rack if you need extra room to haul stuff (I have the roof rack and cargo box).

I’ve used Curry Acura for parts and all prices include shipping:

To enhance performance, I would go for the Hondata ECU reflash like it was mentioned above for $295+shipping:

Miscellaneous would be to upgrade the tires and rims if your are still running OEM. I also did a clear bra for front end, headlights, and side mirrors on my RDX (lots of sand in NM).

Welcome to the board. Check out the classifieds for some of those items that people mentioned above.
Enjoy the car, because the RDX is a great ride.
