I think the stockers are fine.
It's a Ridgeline, I'd just keep it stock.

I think the ZDX wheels would look great.

However, I will say that the 2013 Ridgeline is an improvement. Have you thought about just trading up for something new, rather than throwing money at 2006?

Personally, I think the Ridgeline is a pretty neat looking truck. I also like the fact that it has utility without being too harsh.
Im not really feeling the X5 replicas. The Ridgeline has a chunky look to it and the replicas look too thin/curvy for the truck, IMO.
Im not sure these wheels will fit, but have you looked at the 2G TL Type-S wheels? Something tells me they don't fit the Ridgeline/Pilot and I know they are only 17s, but some people have painted the inside triangles in between the spokes and it looks good. The wheel is sporty and bold/thick at the same time which would suit the Ridgeline good, IMO. Plus the painted area would give you some of the contrast you are looking for.
It might be a good look if your going to go with a bigger tire, as the wheel would give a bit more flavor while still allowing for some good beefy rubber.
Other than wheels, I'd get some side steps for sure to finish the side off. Gives it a more complete look. Maybe plasti dip the Ridgeline emblem and the H emblems. I'd remove the 4WD badge.
I know you said you use the sunroof a lot so you may hate/love a sunroof wind deflector. Maybe some visors for the side windows.
Lastly, I'd black out the headlight housing for some contrast and put in some HID headlights and fogs.

Let's clear this up, I never asked for anyone's opinion on my Ridgeline nor did I ask for anyone's opinion on Ridgelines in general. I asked for mod ideas for my Ridgeline (not "Do you like Ridgeline's?"). So it's a waste of space for anyone to give negative opinions about the car because once again, I asked for mod ideas. Anyways, I already got a couple good ideas from this thread so it can be closed.

He bolds so he can see which ones are his posts vs responses, IIRC.
I have to admit, you're going to get opinions no matter what, but MAS has a point, he really didn't ask whether or not anyone liked the truck.
Anyway, not that serious, pretty good thread to have open for others on this HONDA BASED FORUM that may want to give or take ideas for this truck.
Hey, it IS the only truck Honda made for us so far!

to me the ridgeline is an oddball looking truck so other than wheels i cant see anything drastically improving it. as far as wheels go you can do much better than RJ wheels. just my opinion though.

I was half-wrong about this one. The Ridgeline uses an MDX unibody built on seven steel crossmembers to create a hybrid unibody/box-frame platform. Similar in concept to the Land Rover LR4/Range Rover Sport although those have a more robust frame. As typical with Honda marketing, you have to comb the internet to get this info.

a man that admits he stands corrected, that's what I'm talking about! ![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Personally, not really being a "truck" guy...I have to say that driving my father in law's Ridgeline is always a pleasure...huge inside, drives like an accord, can go pick up things form home depot etc...I love it. If I had to get a truck, it'd be high on my list.
MAS, Mr. Marco just likes trolling, don't mind him. He does it in every thread.
Hard to beat a nice 5 spoke,

^ Those black wheels look nice!
Oh and OP... doesn't matter what you asked for... you posted on a public forum... so you're going to get opinions on everything. You could post a pic of your truck asking if people like the tint you put on... and people will reply saying the pic is out of focus or the background is ugly. Nature of the beast.... so just roll with it.
BTW, I'm sure you've done this... but if you google 'Honda Ridgeline', you can get some ideas on what you can do to your truck. Few nice images floating around there...
