New 2008 PMM Acura RDX Owner

This is my third Acura I've owned. I've owned 2003 Acura RSX Type-S and 2006 Acura TSX w/navi.

I picked up my 2008 PMM Acura RDX 5DR Tech on November 16th, 2014. The When I first got it, it came with chrome rims which I am not a huge fan of. The good thing about it is that it came with the Front lower lip kit.

So over the past weeks, I got myself some new things for the car to my liking. Picked up 2010-2012 RDX rims, OEM roof rack, rear diffuser kit, LED interior bulbs, and WeatherTech trunk tray. I love how the car drives and handle, nice comfortable daily driven car. I am glad to say that I am a proud happy owner.

Here's some pictures of the car when I first got it from the dealer and after how it currently looks. Also some pictures of my RSX and TSX I had.

I have an 06 TSX and 08 RDX also and they are perfect commuter cars. The front lip really makes the RDX I think. Adding just Hondata for $300+shipping actually makes the RDX easier to drive and a slight 1 - 1 1/2 bump in mpgs. It is one mod that can pay for itself over time.

I also did the Curt Class III hidden hitch for about $125/Amazon with my rear diffuser installed with no problems (use the hitch for my bike rack, no wire harness installed). Only takes 5-10 mins to install with a second person and it is really hidden other than the receiver sticking out. The OEM hitch can't be used with the OEM rear diffuser and it is only 1 1/4 inch instead of 2" like the Curt.

The fit is great! They had three different colors which were black, tan, and grey. Black is king because it does not show any dirty stains. Also very useful for my dog back there too.

Wow, looks really nice. From what I can see, your interior looks great too. I much prefer those '10-12 wheels to the chromed ones, good call on that. Not a fan of chrome wheels, although I must say, the RDX is one of the better looking cars with chrome wheels... I find it revolting on cheap GM cars!
