move the sensor to trick it into thinking it's receiving cooler air.
however; i just think that the 2nd RDX received some tricks of its own to achieve what you're seeing.
after all, it is a newer iteration of the v6.
and we all know that improvements come with each iteration
Itz JDM y0!
Can't decide between yellow or arctic white Nokyas. I have yellow fogs aswell.
Everyday I'm rofling
Arctic white Nokyas are garbage. They aren't white and your brights will also now suck. I even had the higher voltage ones.
Get the yellow.
Get the yellow.

Saw that a few of you had recommended the Collinite #845 wax here a few post back. At the same time I was gathering things to detail my car, so I order a bottle and tried it my self.
Paid $18.00 free shipping (ebay seller).
like all others had mention, it goes on very thin. I applied it with a Black Hex-logic finishing Chemical Guys pad.
I am pleased with the results, will see how long it last.
For those interested, this was what I worked with:
Meguiar's clay bar
meguiar's Mirror glaze #9 swirl remover 2.0- (Hex-logic yellow and orange CG pad)
Meguiar's Ultimate polish- (Hex-logic Blue CG pad)
Collinite #845- (hex-logic Black CG pad)
Using the porter Cable 7424xp DA

Chrome.
Colored lugs start to look like shit after a couple on/off cycles.
Plus, if you've still got chrome window trim and junk the lugs don't look out of place being shiny silver.
But mostly because they start to look janky once the wrench start to chew them up, no matter how careful you are using it.
So chrome.
Or whatever.
What do I know?

To those who have these types of "tuner" lugs, are you not worried at all that someone will steal your wheels? These seem like it would make it incredibly easy for someone to quickly get them off.

I lost the key.
OMG it was so hard to take off the lock, without damaging wheels.
under the cover of darkness and lots of time, it can be stolen without hurting the wheels too much, but I was hammering away and it was pretty loud.
then on the next lock, i deformed the aluminium lock.
![Shrug](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/shrug.gif)
since I had already removed one lock, i read the "key code on the lock" and ordered a key that fit the locks.

I'm running Work RS lug nuts. They're so light! Kinda wish I went with Rays but I guess I had a Work theme going on so I said why not.
I had Muteki SR35 black before. Rust started to form on a few of them after having taken the wheels on/off maybe 3-4 times. Was not impressed. With that being said however, I did not baby those lugs like I do with my Work ones. I try my best not to scratch these ones

no worries. in CO no such thing as rust. ask my 46 YO el camino.
also, i am old school and use anti seize on my wheel studs. i have since I was 16 YO. that also removes the chances of any rust.
last point my snows are on my stockers using oem lugs so my blue ones dont see the winter.

xtcnrice - your blue lugs match your calipers so it looks great. I think if I put blue lugs on my car and nothing else was blue, it would look kind of weird.. lol.
Rob - Same with you... I recall you had matching blue bits and pieces so it flowed with your theme.. looked good.
I'm leaning towards the ones I posted above or just plain black. Not really a fan of chrome
