I agree - I was planning to do paint correction than a ceramic coating, still looking for a good detail shop to take care of it in my area. Car does have some imperfections and very light scuffs etc. so paint correction is a must + ceramic coating
Thank you for adding pictures of the mudguards, and the spoiler as well - I think I am sold on spoiler now ...
The paint is not perfect, but no chips in the hood. I do not drive a lot (working remote 100%) so PPF I would agree, unlikely needed.
My RLX didn't have splash guards at the time of purchase with 7200 miles on her. I had a few rock strikes on the side doors down to the gray primer. I hoping adding splash guards to my RLX at time of purchase will help with that down the road.
Back in June I traded in my 2016 RLX SH-AWD w Advance for a 2018 RLX Sport Hybrid with Advance!

Hoping to be a new Sport Hybrid owner soon, but man is it tough to find an ebony interior'd Brilliant Red Metallic! Mrgold35, how did you do it?! 😉
It was 100% dumb luck. That is an extremely hard color combo to find. I was looking for a Fathom Blue Pearl RLX at first; but, my 19 MDX is also the same color combo (another extremely hard color to find).
I've decided to remain with Acura and jumped back in the fold with another 2020 RLX Hybrid... There's nothing out there that can beat this car for the price and package. Waiting to take delivery today. Than return my current lease. Gonna be hard to say goodbye to "Frosty". Black on Black this time... pictures to come

I got lucky. 1 owner, low mileage, flood, low water line. no damage at all. all it need was an EVAP cannister around $300. all error codes disappeared. Good as new. Perfect gift for my folks (it reminded them of my previous 2016 RLX SH)

Big congrats for such a gem of a find! $8400 for that beautiful car is a superb deal. Love that Seascost interior with black steering wheel. Now if Acura offer that in the 2020 RLX-SH with black headliner, I'd be all over it.

Welcome to the Acura SUV/CUV family! Very hard to go back to a sedan after driving a SUV/CUV for a while. It would have been a very hard decision for me between keeping my 18 RLX Sport Hybrid and if the 3rd gen RDX had a Sport Hybrid version.

Fixed it. Didn't see that it was supposed to be before tax.
@1186KA9 Nice car! Sorry about your dad, though. Was the RL in the photo his as well? Also, what do you mean "just turned single digits"?
Meant double digits. Was tired as hell when I posted that. Also, the RL was his as well. He bought it new back in Feb of 2004. He really liked the 04' and thought to try the same thing again in 2014 when the 04' was nearing 180,000. He wanted the SH, but I talked him out of it due to potential reliability as well as the rarity of the car. Even 10 year old me knew that it wasn't gonna sell too well. He loved the RLX when he was around and drove occasionally like a teenager despite being right around the big 6-0. Did a similar thing with the 04', but never to the extent that he did with the RLX. I don't know how most of the OG suspension has lasted this long.
