Thanks a lot BT Really excited to get the wheels on!

Because im waiting to put the wheels on to see which version I like better. When I do decide the front and rear will be the same.

Thanks bro

Sure thing, I plan on doing a photoshoot later next week and will let everyone know what has been effected from moving up to the 22's!

Nice looking car! I especially like the paint job on the grill... Great job, Can't wait to see the pics of the new wheels!

Happy 4th!

mugen_kid

Thanks!

Thanks, hope your enjoying your new ride as much as me

mugen_kid

Well I have been driving on my new wheels for the last couple days and wanted to post my comments. As far as the look I love it, needs a minor drop but is fine for now. The ride is just a bit more stiffer but still remains the glass like feel over bumps. Taking off from a dead stop is where you feel the wheels the most, but still feels good! The weight of the factory wheels and tires came in at 62 Pounds and my new 22" set is 72 pounds so not much of a difference. I honestly thought they would be too big, heavy, and really change the drivability of the vehicle but I was wrong. It feels great!

Here are some photos. Sorry my car is so dirty, I have washed it the last two days but the dust storm the hit Phoenix a couple days ago is still leaving dust everywhere!

So beautiful!

You've definitely taken it to the next level! Your Z looks stunning and not to blacked out.

I do agree with you on the drop... 1-1.5" lower on the car would make it just right.

terdonal

Looks good and I am impressed that the ride didn't change much. Most certainly not your standard looking ZDX.

mugen_kid

Thank you!

Man I wish someone made a kit, but then again im worried about the IDS system and dont want to destroy it over time being lowered. Im guessing a 1" drop would be ideal. thanks for the kind words.

Thanks, Im also impressed with the ride comfort. I have noticed my MPG has gone down a little bit. Time will tell

jordexj

Wow, beautiful ride... and I like the fact that the mods were done in good taste... you didn't turn the vehicle into a super Rice Rocket, which I was afraid was going to happen...

BeachTyme

Agreed or over-blinged it with massively large chrome dipped rims. I hate it when peeps do that.

Mugen has put his ride on a whole new level.

Now I gotta catch up with his Z!!

mugen_kid

Thanks for the feedback. I dont believe in rice enless im eating it Take care

Man your Z looks awesome too! We are all lucky to own such an unique car. It sure is nice to never see these on the road. Makes me not miss my NSX as much.

When I get back from my vacation I would like to get a custom exhaust made from a local company and plan on buying a 2012 Acura TL front lip kit and do some custom work to get it to fit.

won't lie... i'm a hater right now. you did such a pin-point, ACCURAte job on that ZDX. needs nothing more, except maybe some HID fogs, and a slight drop

i envy you. i wanted the ZDX, but backed out of the deal last minute... to be honest, i didnt like the leather dash trim

mugen_kid

Thanks a lot BLACKURA_NY! Im actually driving a loaner TL today and really like the way the car just takes off. I still have never driven a AWD TL. The ZDX is just a cruiser and im cool with that. Cant believe you dont like the Leather dash, that's one of my favorite interior pieces!

mugen_kid,

Your ZDX is just simply stunning...

Good,bad,ugly

Super nice - I also have black advance. I like your new look. I'll probably stick with stock wheels but will debadge.

mugen_kid

Thank you very much!

I just checked out your thread, congrats and welcome! Thanks for the feedback!

Looks even better than I could have imagined. You should send those pics to the people at Vossen. Acura needs some representation on thier website.

mugen_kid

Thanks a lot! Funny you say that, I have some of my Photography on their website of cars we do at our shop. We have a great relationship with Vossen and the guys there are great people to work with, true ENTHUSIAST! I will be doing a better photoshoot this weekend just for this reason.

Good,bad,ugly

The completed pictures look great as a package!

I am totally ignorant about the blacking out thing but I would like to do.

So I take it to a body shop and tell them what I want and they will match the colors?

Awesome job!

mugen_kid

Thanks, I ended up taking the front grille off at my house to save cost at the body shop. The front bumper needs to be removed but is very easy and simple. When you take the grille to your preferred body shop they will need your VIN# and Paint code to get the best match possible. The rear I just removed all the emblems and had the body shop paint the Acura logo the same time they did the grille. As far as the red reflectors go I just pulled them out and painted them at the house. You just need to loosen the exhaust tips in the bumper to pull the reflectors out.

Great-thanks!

Your ZDX and the Vossen wheels looks flawless. Perfect! too bad they don't made any lowering spring yet.

mugen_kid

Thanks bro I really want a to lower this thing. I might buy some H&R springs from a few Honda/Acura vehicles to see how close they are to the ZDX suspension. Its worth a shot!

Sweet! Actually I wanted the ZDX before pulling the trigger on the TL but the dealership said what I wanted is back order because of Japan. So no choice because my lease was up on my RL that month. But ya, if I had the ZDX, I would get the factory kit. I did a search a while ago on Eibach or H&R but it came out nothing for that car. I think because of that magnetic suspension or could be wrong. But your car is sweet!

mugen_kid

I took advantage of some time today and washed the car, grabbed the camera, and hit the road! Sorry for all the photos it's a hobby of mine Plus it's really hard trying to capture good photos of this car, it just has so many wild lines.

I will admit something first... I do not like SUVs. Let's just leave it at that. I don't like the X6 or similar vehicles - though, the ZDX defies classification. Having spent a lot of time driving an MDX on several occasions, the ZDX is definitely a much different vehicle, but even then I was never a huge fan. I'm not trying to derail the thread or even bashing, just giving some background. That said....

Your ZDX looks amazing. Your choice in wheels is great, as well as blacking out the grille and reflectors while leaving the other parts as is for an accent, even down to the running boards (to show my ignorance of the ZDX, I don't even know if those are factory). Had it not been you, I might not have clicked on this thread - I was a fan of your NSX - but since it was, I knew there was something special in store.

The recent pictures really show off the lines. Incredible job. If I had a ZDX, your car would probably be one of my inspirations.

mugen_kid

Well I can be honest and agree with you on the first statement. I have never owned or really cared for SUV's much. I have either owned 2 door sports cars or Coupes. I have really been wanting a some type of Luxury/Sport vehicle the last couple years and now that my life is changing I needed something cool but practical(Im single and no kids so yes this is practical for me) The ZDX really is different in a lot of ways. Thanks for the kind words, it really means a lot!

mugen_kid

Not trying to whore my car, just took almost 1000 photos today. Trying to sort thru them all.

terdonal

Very nice pics. Looks like you found a great wide open location to get some good angles on your ZDX. Nice work on the pics and your ZDX looks great.

Thank you kind sir!

Haha I wanted a TL for so long, never thought I would be driving a ZDX if you asked me a year ago lol

aysertypes

Beautiful car

HDNBenjamin

Your ZDX looks amazing! I love what you did to it!

DJ Iceman

Yup, even I'll admit (since I didn't like the wheels at first) that the total package came out looking sharp. The wheels look better from afar than they do close-up--there's just something about them in the near pictures that is annoyingly BMW-ish to me.

Do you have the accessory spoiler on there? It looks big to me, but it's hard if not impossible to tell on a black ZDX if it's the factory or add-on spoiler.

mugen_kid

Thanks!

Thank you Benjamin

I agree, black is hard to notice the spoiler. I do have the accessory spoiler. Thanks for you feedback on the wheels, I know you were never a fan but I knew once they were on the car people would think different. I still plan on getting a 20" set in the future, I really like the look of the 20" on your ride.

B.G.

Mannnn, the car looks stunning!! Saw the pics on the Vossen website! I really love what you have done so far. As everyone has already mentioned, a subtle drop and it would be GAME OVER

types1fan

Thats a hot ZDX, thats my next ride but in white. Enjoy her you have a beutiful ride. One thing , Why did you not go stagered that would of set it off.

nickceci51

simply amazing
