Thanks, they were actually pretty simple to open up. After removing the screws from the back of the housing that holds the lens on, I just heated up around the lens and pulled apart. It was easier then I was expecting so that was good. Just take your time!
Thanks dude

The only photo I have is this crappy iphone shot. I still need to change out the bulb to a LED for a more white and brighter look. Once Christmas is over and family leaves town I plan on finishing everything.

All I have to say is, "Swwweeet!". The very changes that I had wondered about...are on your ride. I can see how awesome those changes look. There is just no other vehicle out there for me...besides my ZDX. I upgraded from a black base ZDX to a silver TECH. After looking at your pics....I definitely want to go back to the color black!!!!! Soooo awesome looking!!!!! Post more pics when you can.

Happy New Year Everyone! I have had some mixed emotions about my wheels lately and have been looking for another set in 20". Im honestly getting tired of the lack of power with them. The ride doesnt bother me at all its just a power thing. For one the 22" are taller and heavier then stock. I told myself if I go to a 20" it will have to be lighter then the stock 19" wheel and tire combo. I have been searching high and low for a wheel that I think will do the job. Im going with a 20x10 Advan RS-D Matte Black. I did a quick photoshop to see what it looks like. Tommy Likey

Man I LOVE your ZDX. This wil definitey help sway my wife into letting my buy this car. I love everything you did with it, but i was am on the fence with this mod. I am a fan of blacking chrome out of cars, but i think the chrome window trim here really helps to defines the curves of the zdx. Still gorgeous car. I used to give your car a 13 out of 10, now its a 12.87, lol.
update:okay after i saw what you did to your 22's, its back up to 15/10, lol. I also think the Vossens look much better. What happened to the black BBS'?

I did a full day yesterday detailing the car back to new. No more damn swirls for now. Clay bar + Polish + Wax = Happy! And today I painted the front silver bumper pieces to black. Which I thought at first I liked but it was bugging me so I went black. It looks a lot better I think.

Mugen, your ride is absolutely fantastic looking! It's actually what convinced me that the ZDX was the right car for me. In your last post you said "today I painted the front silver bumper pieces to black" - which pieces are you talking about? Do you have pics?

That looks great! Did you take them off to paint them? Do you have a resource for working on your car, like a repair manual or something that describes how to take it apart? What kind of paint do you use? Thanks in advance for the help - I have a feeing these won't be my only questions...

She's pretty. I picked up a 2010 ZDX yesterday. Black on black. My first Honda/Acura product. Only mods right now is the clear bra but you have been kind enough to provide awesome ideas that my kids' college funds are not appreciative of. Please continue to keep us posted on your progress. You definitely have a ton of passion and knowledge.

Here is a image of the trim around the fog lights painted black that I was talking about.

I admire the time and effort you have put in to get where you are. All of the changes are not for me but you have had some great ideas and all of them are well executed and gives us all some things to think about and try. There is no doubt your ZDX is a one of a kind and looks very tough in its current setup.

gotta say, the avatar pic of your zdx with the chrome trim around the windows and the high 3q shot is damn near perfect. also I think the bbs or bbs style split 7 spoke rims would make your zdx perfect in 20 inch size. I know you like it the way it is and it is your car but damn those black bbs style rims are hot on 'sporty' suvs such as the zdx. no chrome or brightwork on them at all because its distracting from the overall look. you cant go wrong regardless it seems as youre so talented in the 'design' area. good work

Sign up to a image hosting site like photobucket or something. That what I use. Then paste the code from the image in the body of your message.

Thanks terdonal, I know the black is not everyones taste but Im really loving the look.
It funny you say that, I have been trying to find a custom tag that would go well with this car. I have tried DarthVadar but I cant find anything available If you guys get creative and think of a darthvadr in 7 leters let me know

So you've gotten on the DMV website and entered both of those and they are already being used?
