We recently signed up for the 2002 MDX. This will be available to us in Jan. My question is what does the rear deflector help with? We have to buy this as it is added on by the dealer and we have no choice. I was just curious, is it cosmetic or??
Congrats Shelly, and welcome! I installed my own deflector, as have lots of others - it's a much cheaper way to go (you'll quickly find out that Tim at Hondacuraworld is the way to go for accessories). It is functional, keeps dust off the rear window - it also looks awfully cool! If it's a forced option, at least you can rest assured it's worthwhile.
As with all things, Tim Poliniak at Hondacuraworld is the go-to guy for accessories. His prices are unbeatable, and I second (third? fourth?) the motion that the rear deflector is easily installed at home.
I had Tim paint my deflector to match my Taffeta White 'X. You can see it here and some of the following posts.
Thanks for your input. I did go to Hondaacuraworld and see the prices that Tim is offring for the accessories, especially the mats. Seems like after reading some of the posts, these mats are superior to the ones that are available from acura.
Welcome to the club!!!!! I have the rear deflector. I got it because I like the way it looks. I can't believe that they don't give you an option to have it or not have it .
I had my dealer put on all my options, but like ghost says it's cheaper to buy them seperate and put them on yourself, but I have a 4 year warrenty with mine. So if anything goes wrong it's there problem. Hopefully not.
Anyway congratulations on ordering your MDX. You'll have to let us know when it comes in and what you thing!!!!!!
I want to clean up my engine and got some Gunk engine degreaser in a spray can. The back of it says not to use on asphalt - that means driveways, right? Where would you park your car to use this stuff then? I have a concrete floor garage but don't want the residue to dry and muck up the floor on...
I just purchased a nice after market running board set (Black Raptor Ovel shaped Tubes). The installation seems very straight forward and the hardware seems very sturdy. But when I put the first mounting bolt in the factory hole and starting to tighten it, it broke off. I thought maybe it was...
I was wondering if anyone had photos of how dealership installed side moldings look on a 2018-2019 MDX.
I have seen photos that indicate sometimes they are installed above or in the middle of the crevice in the door and some photos where they look installed under the crevice in the door.
I...
Okay so, the single little dim blue led lights in the footwells that comes on with the parking lights and the headlights. Too dim to say lemme get the number, we all know this. Well the aftermarket led light strips. Has anybody thought about clipping the wire behind the factory led and...
