RL Newbie... well sort of...

Hi guys! First time poster. Picking up my new (to me) 05 RL in Lakeshore Silver. Proudly this is my third Acura, but haven't owned one in a while. My last few cars were all easily mod-able and I was wondering what's the first mod that RL owners usually start with?

I can see this forum is very much like the G35 forum I was a member of, the answer to all questions lies in the Search button! LOL

I guess the interior is considered standard. It's a dark gray, I haven't done much research on the car yet, busy having it checked out by my mechanics.

I did get a new set of wheels out of the dealer at least, Continentals instead of the Pilots, but hey it's better then me shelling out of pocket for them. Plus the DWS' seem to have pretty good ratings

One question I did have (and I can already tell the flaming will come for not searching, but I did do a quick search and really didn't see info on specifics) is that on my G35 I had the Invisicord and a custom mount for my Escort 8500 which mounted to my mirror. I see some people in here have the cord but does anyone know where on the mirror it connects to and what spaces to connect? I am picking the car up tomorrow and I'd like the Escort in there right off the lot.

Continental DWS is one of the best all season tires out there, if that's what the dealer gave you, you've covered the good tires.

As far as the Escort, you can buy a cheap wiring kit on ebay and route it to your fuse box.
