on the parking sensors, I could use a set discretely placed. I'll reserve judgement until I see the emblem on.

The LED's on the logo look great. I've got Amp'd Emblems on front and back of my Type S. It's definitely a classy look.

Nice updates jbond. Is it really an oem RDX caliper cover? And does it just snap on? Also, rims came in I assume? BTW, you gotta show some love to the oem 18s man! Those poor rims.

How did you get the Acura logo on the brakes? Or is it some sort of a snap in cover? Looks good. Also love the adams rotors had same color set up on my jetta and it looked great.

Very nice set up. Did you notice any more noise from the drilled/slotted brake discs?

jbond, moar low bro! LOL but pics don't do the rims justice. Particularly low light pics. It needs sunlight to truly appreciate the finish. BTW, I see some concave in them and nice pics!

Wheels look good. I hope they are safe.

I just don't like the black spoiler. Black trunk piece looks good with the tail but spoiler is too eye catching for me.

Your lights look interesting. What did you do to the reflector area? I originally just removed my amber piece but then tinted it and put it back in. It looks like yours is a combination of the two.
