Post your RDX with or without Modification list

I'm new to the forum and finally snapped some pictures with my cell phone. I would like to see other members post their RDX and see what modifications you have installed if any. If not simply post the most sexiest picture of your RDX.

2007 RDX
Mods:
Front under body spoiler
20% Tints.

Pending:
Mud flaps
Rear diffuser
and maybe side steps.

Nothing really modified, but I wanted to post. Still using evaluation software as well. Using Blendmount for Valentine radar, this is the only addition.

Btw, if you have a v1, try pointing the actual unit to the rdx's navigation screen and watch the v1 sensors pick it up as laser. Not good, by I assume it's ok since mounting the unit up top is out of direct sight. Just a thought.

I just bought that V1 mount. My last set of suction cups are on their last legs--don't think they will make another Dallas summer.

My RDX:
2007 Carbon Bronze/Parchment
LEDs: map lights, rear plate lights, dome light, courtesy lights
USA Spec iPod adapter (PA15-ACUxl)
Hard wired V1

I think they are all a bit brighter except for the dome light. The dome light is a festoon style bulb. I have a 9 LED light in there, but since they all face down, they don't use the reflector in the fixture.

I like the brighter white light. Incandescent light seems out of place in a 21st century car.

Also, I forgot that I also switched out the rear cargo light for an LED.

bighatch - I have heard the rear drivers side tire tap twice, both times over speed bumps. Could've been avoided if I took them slower and I'm also hauling a 70+lbs hound in the very back. My tires are pushed out to the fenders (28mm more than the stock 18+mich's), so I'm cognizant of it now, but I checked the wheel well and nothing noticeable at all. I think if I roll the fender edges up&in I'll be ok.

Weather was nice today, so I was able to install the front spoiler ($290 @ dealership w/Azine discount) and also installed HID cov kits for the fogs (8KK, $65 from hidny.com).

Are the intake and downpipe custom?

15mm spacers should work well w/your 19's+low profile tires. rubbing shouldn't be any concern, IMO. I got mine from icihibausa.com.

I see the reflash is on you 'next' list. Just want to make sure you know it's $295 now...

I think the roof needs some ''dressing" IMO. The roof rack is dual pupose, nice aesthics + great utility!!

ucsmfu, when you say downpipe, what exactly are you referring to? The section that comes immediately off of the turbo that houses the (1st) primary cat, or the section that is after that which houses the (2nd) secondary cat - which is the one that Mike was referring to?

I know your asking Sublime1, but I installed mine with a friend and Johnny Walker it was easy! just be careful with the bumper pins.
