Ideas

Ideas anyone have I just bought my first Acura 2020 a spec rdx. Are there any modifications I should consider doing right off the hop. I've tried to find body kits but not much luck. Advice would be greatly appreciated

Aside from getting those rims swapped, the only thing I've really seen for mods here is giving your car the A-Spec look with black trim. There are some mechanical mods that others have done - things like giving it a Hondata tune, custom downpipe, exhaust, intercooler... not a lot of options out there that I know of specifically for RDX, but done right apparently you could get the RDX another 70 horses, as Acura did with their SEMA model. Also, don't forget red caliper covers give you 10 hp, a Type R badge will get you an extra 5, and that pissing Calvin sticker will give you another 5 on top of that.

For body mods Acura does offer a body kit of sorts that you can install. They have a front and rear lower spoiler addition as well as rear roof spoiler extensions. For some reason the Acura sites say they don't fit the A-Spec but we did a full A-Spec conversion on our Tech package RDX and were able to add the spoilers with no issues.

Highly recommend Hondata/KTuner. I am biased towards Hondata, because that is what I use on my cars.
I would also highly recommend light-weight aftermarket wheels with 45 or less offset, depending on your taste. The wider track will reduce lean, and the lighter weight will improve responsiveness in both turning and acceleration.

+1 on lighter wheels. The tire and wheel assembly for the A-Spec comes in around 67lbs and you can shave 10lbs off that easily. I shaved 15lbs off on each corner and the car was so much more responsive and the ride got better.
