MDX aesthetics - Click HERE for Original Thread

One of the downside with the MDX when I was considering buying one (I ultimately did) was the exterior aesthetics. I thought it looked too much like an undergrown Odyssey and less like an SUV.

Can I poll people to see what they thing about the X's externior aesthetics?

Also, thinking about aesthetic upgrades, what do people think about:
1. spoiler (not rear air deflector)? Cool or cheesy?
2. gold emblem and grill trim? yes or no?
3. Has anyone notice any whisling or other sounds after adding a spoiler?

1. Definitely cheese
2. Ghetto (no)
3. See 1.
As for the looks, it IS an Odyssey, but a really nice one.

Obviously, looks are subjective, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, ad nauseam, but since you asked for it...

1, I think the spoiler adds a little flair to an otherwise understated rear.

2. I agree with SccobyT on this one - definitely NO. The only color I would even consider adding gold trim to is the burnished bronze; it seems to bring out the unique color.

3. There are numerous threads on this one. I plan to get one and couldn't care less if it whistles or not, that's what CD players are for. :D

For an SUV, the MDX appears more streamlined and classy. If that's not your cup of tea, then there's tons of true off-roaders out there with more boxy exteriors. Unless Acura does a major redesign, I don't think the X will escape its Odyssey origins. But then again I own an Odyssey, and it was the similar features that made me turn to the X in the first place.

I have an air deflector on mine. I like it cause its functional and looks kinda cool.

I saw an X yesterday with gold emblems. Nearly puked. Not really, I just laughed.

Shouldn't make noise.

How about Body Side Moulding? They look cool (the new wide ones look way better than my thin ones) and are functional. DO NOT get a front bug deflector like I did.
