Why does this RLX look like it has a body kit?

Found this on Edmunds. Call me crazy but does it look like this RLX has side skirts and a front lip on it? What ever the case, it looks good.

^^^^I agree - the lighting and the "worm's eye view" camera angle give a different look to the RLX. A lot of newer cars have more "skirting" than in the past as part of the never-ending desire for better aerodynamics and fuel economy.

Yeah, I figured as much. Maybe it is wishful thinking. I'm a big fan of OEM kits if they are tastfully done which I think Acura usually does. It allows personalization of the car without going to the aftermarket. I wish they did do a kit for the RLX. I know its a luxury car but I would love to "sport" it up. The RLX is a silent assasin. I loved the one for the 05-08 RL. That kit totally transformed the car. IMHO.
