I agree that the RDX is missing a more aggressive wing, but your car is looking great either way!!! Have you thought about using spacers to bring the wheels more flush with the fenders?

Looks great just the way it is, don't rice it.
A big wing will make it look like a Subaru.

Bought my car last week in the same color as yours. First of all thanks for the photos because I wanted to black out my roof as well. Your black top looks good and I'm going to vinyl wrap mine this weekend.
Did you paint yours or vinyl wrapped it? if you wrapped how large of a piece did you need? 5x5 ft?
Also my lip spoiler is coming in on thursday, our cars will be twins HAHA. -- You should add a rear diffuser.

My favorite all time RDX; job well done.
I use 25mm spacers and with the BC coilovers aggresively lowered. I had clearance issues and I HEAVILY rolled my fenders (front and rear).
I would say don't go over 10-15mm wheel spacers. This would be with stock wheel offset, so adjust accordingly to your wheel's offset.
BTW, no issues with vibrations. Just go with a good guality wheel spacers that is hub centric.

hey all... new to the forum and i was looking to get some things done with my 2008 RDX. i really like the way your ride looks. need some advice on a couple things. i have a vision in mind but just don't know where to start. would like to lower my RDX and wondering what kit you used. my one big complaint is that the wheels do not stay flush with the fenders. was contemplating getting 9.5" wheels/tires to "widen" the stance. any thoughts? also, can anyone recommend a shop in the central NJ area who can help with my vision? thanks

thanks ... biggest advise is not to rush and do your research to make sure you get what you really want. Mines is lowered on BC coilovers and the rims are 20's 10" back and 9" in the front. To have that flush look you may need spacers. But get the rims first as you may not need spacers depending on what rims you get. G/L on your vision and welcome to the forum.

^ Unless you live in:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia.
You are required by law to have 2 lic plates on the vehicle. Here in Oregon it's an automatic pull-over (you'll even get a ticket if it's parked on the street w/o a front plate). I can't believe CA would be any more lenient in this area.

I like the film over the headlights and taillights. Has anyone tried a diy on those, like on this eBay pic? I'd like a light smoked look on mine.
