cold air intake suggestions?
what do you guys suggest for a cold air intake with not too much money to spend? also do you guys know where there is a lip kit or body kit for the rdx too?

What year, who makes it?
I don't think there is a real cold air intake made for an RDX.
I have seen some underhood intakes with a plastic block off panel to help lessen hot air ingestion.
When I read cold air intake, to me it means -
- intake air from an area other than under the hood, where hot air tends collect.
Think summer/city driving, stop and go, red light, sprint to the next red light...real cold air please.

not an SUV ...a Big Hatch
none out there...if thats what you want, you'd be best to make a duct that can introduce cooler air to that area of the bay. Some of the front end of the stock plumbing may still route in "outside" air.

Hatch,
Been there, did do that.
We have an '11 and the d/s fog light grill (modified) is my inlet.
This is the first rev, I have plans to refine it...
Inside the now modded fog grill I mounted a flanged shroud that tapers to a flex, that connects to the inlet on the oe air box.
I also removed the inlet resonator from the oe air box.
You can hear the turbo slightly now.
It is a true cold air intake.
But it has a much less smooth path for the air and a more restrictive filter than a CP-E.
