Good old-fashioned bright silver paint looks better on the car than the Tech, A-Spec, or Advance wheels.

If I had a (no extra cost) choice, I would choose the Tech wheels for my Advance. Anyone with a Tech in Arizona what to switch?

I have the same color combo and had my windows tinted. It does make the vehicle look mean.

Did you paint your brake calipers? I've been wanting to have mine done in red as well.

2019 Acura RDX Technology Package

Believe it or not, this is a drone shot of my RDX (I'm an aerial photographer). So far, I've had a good experience with Goodson Acura in Dallas. I previously owned cars purchased from Sewell and from Park Place, so that's saying something.

After ceramic coating

I washed the car on Friday and applied ceramic coating on Saturday. It's super shiny and hopefully it continues like this. Tomorrow we are expecting a lot of rain so i will test the hydrophobic properties. 🤞

Not great, but definitely not bad. I guess it doesn't matter anymore as it looks like they recently changed from Acura to something else (I think it's Jeep now?). Now we gotta drive all the way to MV/Tustin for service...

Stock at the moment - feels like a fishbowl up front. I'll be adding whatever the legal limit is next month.

so clean. I forget which thread - did you ever figure out changing auto headlight sensitivity with those tints? Also where'd you get them done?

@oz13ms nah..the dealership (for which i give them about 10% credibility) told me its not possible to adjust - which is fine I can accept that not super happy that OC Acura is gone now but oh well, they were terrible for anything post-service.

Got them done at Classic Window Tinting in Orange... I have taken every car i have ever owned here.... Service and qualtiy is second to none. ClassicWindowTinting
