I'm picking up a Nimbus Gray w/ Taupe Sport/RES in Portland next week with roof rails and mats/wheel locks on it. I just ordered the following:
Wood Wheel
Wood Shift Knob
Side Moldings
Bumper Moldings
Sport Running Boards
Front Garnish
Rear Garnish
Auto Day/Night Mirror
Cargo Net
Service Manual
... and a partridge in a pear tree!
I'll get to start installing these myself the last weekend of the month. Yay!
I was going to get the OEM hitch but the Valley Industries one is just as good at 1/9th the total cost with installation. And really, all I'll be using it for will be to haul bikes for the time being. |

Don't you just love the anticipation?
Enjoy your new X and all the fun that goes along with personalizing it. |

| Just curious. IMO the hardest one is the wood wheel. I was a little hesitate messing with the airbag, so it was done by the dealer. Are you installing the wheel yourself? |

Yes, I'm doing it myself. It's really as simple as follow the directions. The only tool I need is the wheel puller and that will only be around $10. Air bags don't go off by magic, they need an ignition signal.

Just got home last night from picking up the MDX in Portland. Everything is good. I installed the autodimming mirror/compass at about 11pm last night w/o any problems. Works like a charm. Almost everything else arrives on Monday. I think I'll start with the running boards and body side moldings and work from there.

| Did you get your MDX at Dick Hannahs or Tonkin? I just bought mine last week at Dicks. |

I got mine at Dicks. Good experience, but the one I got has a born on date of either 3/07 or 4/07 and it had 200 miles. I'm pretty annoyed about that. I did everything by phone from Seattle until I picked up the vehicle. I got a great price, but I suppose I should have been more specific. Ugh.
