Pics of RDX's Please Post
Hey Guys,
Looking to trade in my TL-S for an RDX. I wanted to see some that have some tint on them and different rims and whatever exterior modifications as well?
Thanks,

I know you are asking for pics but I do not currently have any pics. I can tell you however that I have a black 2010 RDX with 15% tint all around and a sun strip across the windshield down to the AS1 line on the windshield.
I have an appointment to get the grey fog light trim painted later this month and to have my tail lights tinted as well with some tinted clear. I will also be removing my badges off the back accept for the Acura logo.

You will miss the (go-cart) low center of gravity feel of the TL. 
trust me, the wife never lets me drive the TL and I miss the way a sedan drives. If you do decide to sell/trade it, hold out for top dollar as it is hard to find a good TL-S.

). You can feel the limitation of FWD when putting power on the road without sh-awd on a curve. You only feel this control when the RDX’s sh-awd is engaged under engine power.When you don’t have the RDX under power on a tight curve, the RDX feels like a +2 ton top heavy SUV ready to slide out from under you. I have to slow down by 5-10 mph on a curve with no power compared to the TSX.
My theory is a RDX would keep up with a TL-S up a mountain with switchback road; but, the TL would smoke the RDX down the mountain because of the TL’s lower center of gravity and less weight.

I've noticed when I drive my RDX (Hondata, Eibach springs, conti DWS) and TSX (Progress RSB, a-spec suspension, conti DWS) on the same curve; the RDX feels more controlled, flat, and stable and I can drive a 360 degree 35 mph on ramp at 60 mph compared to 55 mph max in the TSX. My next door neighbor has a 07 TL and he could not keep up with me on the same curve in my TSX (he caught me in 10 seconds on the straights).

trust me on this. Our TL is 4G SH-AWD HPT. It cannot be beat by the best set-up RDX. Wife even commented yesterday when she drove the RDX how much tighter the TL was in the handling dept.
If your TL-s can't spank an RDX something is wrong.

The RDX does a very good job of putting power on road when it gets curvy because of the sh-awd. I have no doubt a 09-12 sh-awd TL will smack the crap out of a RDX in any situation (except off road). FWD has been Honda/Acura Achilles heel for decades and sh-awd has silence the critics (just have to do something about the bucktooth smile now).
Besides, I said keep up with a 07-08 TL-S up an mountain not spank.

There is no 4G TL-S (although Acura left a blank piece of plastic at the bottom of the wheel where the type S badge would go).
It will be interesting to see what vehicle Acura chooses to release as a hybrid. RDX??? Hmm, just as much fun to drive with better mpgs...I'd buy it.

Gungho: nicest looking RDX ive seen in a while. That is really CLEAN. Those rims look fantastic.
What MR Gold was talking about: Id pick the RDX just about over every car Acura has out now. Its steering is THE BEST in the lineup. As long as its under power, the SHAWD keeps the RDX on par and will surprise you. Drive it in S mode with traction control off and you will have alot of fun. Have a 2010 TL and the GF has a 2010 TSX. Id pick the RDX over either. its steering combined with stiff suspension and awd inspire confidence even for a truck. Maybe its because Acura changed its steering on everything but the RDX (because its so old anyways) but their electronic assisted steering in new models absolutely blows and i believe this is why I think the RDX is much more fun and pure to drive, along with the turbo of course, the low end tq makes a difference. My GF loves it and for a small girl, she tells me that even she feels like she has more control over the RDX than the TSX.
Comparing the RDX to the NEW TL SHAWD is obviously a different story, the grip on that thing is excellent and the RDX cant touch it.
Big Hatch - JESUS PUT SOME TINT ON THAT THING WILL YA!!!!!!

I just traded my 08 TL-S for an 08 RDX, thank god for the turbo because before it kicks in this thing feels like a tired civic.
As soon as the AWD TL-S comes out I am trading back, last winter in New England was brutal
