New 2011 RDX Owner

I've been debating on moving up from a 2005 TL A-Spec to the RDX and finally jumped in. I picked her up on Sunday. 2011 SH-AWD w/ Tech and only 14 miles. So far I love the car and how it handles. I can't wait until I break her in and really test her out. I order the roof rack railings so I hopefully have those on by next week to take my kayak out.

Unfortunately though, someone put a scratch on her while I was at work. Hopefully it can be buffed out.

the silver trim around the fogs doesn't look bad. it's just stick out like a sore thumb with every other color.

yes, please on the Supra.

I would black out all the trim except the shield. I wonder if the light housings are the same dimension as '07-'08? If you want black-out you could just order 2011 housing.

I agree on that silly trim detailing , that's one reason we went with silver as well.

Honestly don't know. I'm thinking it was just some careless passenger of someone.

That Supra looks really familiar. Did you build it or did you buy it?

Congrats. I also just purchased a 2011 RDX Tech 2WD for my wife. We're expecting our first child at the end of May this year and she's been driving around in a little Kia Spectra for the last four years. You could call it an "upgrade" haha.

Nice MKIV too. I was a Supra guy for many, many, many years. This is the first time in my life that I don't own one and it sucks. We'll see what happens once our daughter is here, lol.
