it's a hotrod trick.
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

 

Can't decide between yellow or arctic white Nokyas. I have yellow fogs aswell.

 

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.

 

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

 

oooh shiny

 

Nice work icu2tsx! How long did this whole correction/protection process take you? I take way too long claying/polishing/applying wax... just wanted to see how long it takes others.

Great job once again.

 

Thanks guys.

Took me about 14 hrs total, broken up in 7 days lol I have a new born baby so was not able to knock it out in one day.

 

Lol I had a very limited window when I did mine last year as well. It took about 5 days or so hahah

Thanks!

 

Found a nice set of ES2s for $350... Click on the description and find out its 17"

disregard my orange then, if your wheels are already bronze

sorry, next time i'll read before jumping in the deep end

 

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 have rays aluminium lugs.
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.

since I had already removed one lock, i read the "key code on the lock" and ordered a key that fit the locks.

OoOoOoO i like blue!

 

i have the muteki with the locks. about $70 for the set.

I have blue and they are perfect. buy a good product and it will last.

and I have the key codes for all mine written down in a folder in house.

of course anything can be defeated.....im only hoping to slow down the junkie or the punk......pro can do what they want.


oh no....crabby like blue too

BTW these wheels can be yours for a price LOL its one of the last mods need sold/ will throw in the lugs/

 

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.

 

^yeah same, I use stockies for winter. Not sure how the mutekis oxidized... maybe while they weren't even on the car?

 

Thanks rob for the tip.

I'm gonna go write down the key codes when i get home.

 

well i lied again....LOL i used the sticker for my first silver set.....then just added the code for the blue on me

 

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

 

if you like silver I had and sold a set they called something like silver pearl....not sure exactly but the outer face had a silver matte type finish. the sides were kind of shiny so you made nice reflections. they were nice.
then i went blue......and you know what happens after you go blue/

 

Once you go blue...

 

The blue'r the lugnuts the sweeter the rice?

or something.

 

I see what you did there...
