I think Acura is missing out on some sells by not offering a black-out kit for all trim levels with every model other than the Aspec versions. Your RLX has very sinister look that I like!

Any details on the mods you did?

Thank you sirs. As far as mods, let's see.. vinyl wrapped the grille, front and rear bumper trim, and rear tail light/rear garnish trim.. the window trim is plasti dipped which i have to do over, plasti dipped the rocker panel trim.. added fog lights, got a good deal on the Megan coilovers- i was a lil worried about them compared to BC's since i've had BC's on an accord and my 14 RLX, but surprisingly they're pretty good! Only drawback is that BC's have more dampening adjustments- 30 compared to 15 but i'm satisfied for now. Time will tell how well these hold up. Added the modulo deck lid spoiler, slotted dimpled rotors, 22x9 front 22x10 rear Avant Garde m520r wheels. Painted front and rear calipers, added the caliper covers to the rear to match the front. Inside- front/rear RGB led lights, still leaning towards the Grom unit but i haven't pulled the trigger yet. Debating if i should have the interior wood trim pieces painted or wrapped, still looking for the perfect color that won't fight the ebony interior. I would love to do forged carbon but it's a mess to deal with- did it myself in my x6 because i didn't wanna wait months to have it professionally done. NEVER AGAIN lol

I ordered vinyl wrap for the interior trim pieces for my graystone interior. This has been “in process” since March of 2021. I’m still waiting for it to come. I ordered a darker wood vinyl wrap to go over the gray bowling ball trim. I wish they had kept the prior dark wood look before the refresh. I liked the contrast between it and the light gray interior.

If you are referring to the wheels, they are the "carbon flash" finish

quick question, when you swap the rear brake out for the bigger front caliper, do you have to do anything about the e-brake?

I didn't swap the rears, I just modified a set of front caliper covers to fit the rears

What size tires are you using? Also, what is the offset on your rims.... I am looking to get the same on mine just in 20inch and worried about fit. I'm amazed you have 22inch on this car.

255 30 22 in the front, +35. 265 30 22 in the rear, +40. You will be fine with 20s, just depends on what width you choose

getting ready to pull the trigger on a square setup with 20x9.5” with 265/35/20 … you think that will rub on stock suspension ?
+40 offset

I think you will be fine on stock suspension, may have a bit of wheel gap if you're ok with that
that 265 on the front is kinda questionable on a 9.5.. I know there are a few members here running 20s, might wanna check their setups
