Sweet! What a change from 2-3 weeks ago.

We can never get them at that price in our town.

Do post more pictures when you have a chance.

yah over the course of approx 5 weeks? i've added the following:

-front underbody spoiler
-rear diffuser
-roof rack
-running boards
-LED lighting for interior and license plates
-19" OEM chrome-look wheels
-Nokya hyperyellow 2500k foglight bulbs


definitely going to give it a rest for the rest of the year considering these 19s are coming off within a few weeks so i can slap on my winter rims.

i was thinking that instead of going with LEDs on the exterior lights, why not buy a lens-color matched incandescant bulb? i.e. front orange corner -replace the white bulb with orange. all rear red ..change out the white bulb with lens-matching red. stick to incandescent..it should give a slightly nicer effect. anyways...next 'el cheapo' project for me.

Talking about el-cheapo mods, what do you think about these led strips on the rear marker light and the tailgate brake light?

Beautiful! The chrome goes well with the door handles and your color.
If I hadn't owned my last white car for 17years, I would have bought a white RDX.

Only thing about the 19s is that there isn't much rim protection from the tires so curbage paranoia strikes me every time I parallel park.

Looks really good.
Where did you purchase the wheel/tire package?

Dang I wish they still made the Eibach springs, it makes the car look that much better than it already does, but nice car

*sigh*...i put the winters on today so this is the last pic before the new year. with temps averaging around 4 - 7 degrees celsius here in Vancouver, the summers were not riding that great so didnt want to risk anything.

and yes, i love the chrome on white.. this isnt' your everyday chrome, it's ebony chrome which gives it a darker look. had the 18" aspec ebony chrome on my TL and so thought I would get the 19s for the RDX.




Old 3G with ebony chrome a-specs (still miss it!!!)

Quick question, what size tires are you running on the 19's?

Do these wheels fit on the 10-12? Everywhere I look they only say they fit 07-09, even though it's the same bolt pattern. And what makes me wonder is that I have never seen any on a 10-12.
