Some updates:

1. LED Interior Lighting in foot wells and under seats.
2. Swapped out all interior, license plate, and reverse lights bulbs for Phillips LED Bulbs.

Had the LED’s done at a local shop that specializes in this. The LEDs are connected to the battery. First tried going through fuse box but had issues with Bluetooth app that controls it. The beak delete was 3M wrap.

A belated Christmas gift to myself: Added the roof rails & crossbars in black to match the matte black Acura beak & trim.

Thanks. Funny thing is, I myself was actually looking for a set of 20’s and accidentally stumbled upon these.

Nice looking ride!! BTW did you have issues installing your Tuxmats? After I saw this post on the FB group and really loved the look of these mats. So i bought them for our new to us 2017 Advance. I just got the mats in and they fit good, but the Driver's side mat seem to block part of the hood release, and doesn't stay flush with the center console trim so there is a little gap between the mat and the console. Just wondering. if you had these troubles too? .

Initially I had the same issue as well. After a bit readjusting the dead pedal area, is fine now.

If you’ve followed the #DeleteTheBeak hashtag on IG, you’ve seen a number of TLX’s with a grill swap to the current design. Got one done for the RDX 2GEN, I believe it’s his first one. While he wasn’t able to do the swap to include the current grill insert design, I choose the insert to be of a hexagonal mesh pattern that resembles the mesh pattern on the faux air vents. Will ship today and install soon.

New custom front splitter and center lip. Props to S_Factor_Fabrication for their work on this piece. I was their first customer for the 2nd Gen model and had to do measurements and drawings for this project. The results were spot on. All together, $345 for the below pictured.
