Satisfy your itch with a medicated cream, not an MDX.

Anyone want my rotor covers? They're Slash! JDM rotor covers from Yokohama. They're currently powdered nismo red but they're annodized red underneath. $175 takes the set of 4. They won't fit on my new rotors I'm pretty sure.

They're $200 new assuming you can find them and I paid more to have them powdered:

Looking at running 2 piece slotted DBA rotors in the front and 1 piece rears. Really crazy deal from R/Tuning (R/T Tuning?)
With most of your stopping power on the front, you can definitely have good braking with the 2-piece fronts and single piece rears. You would save some weight off the rears with the 2-piece rotors all around. My recommendation would be to get slotted only rotors, not drilled and slotted or drilled alone. They have a tendancy to crack under hard use when they are drilled. Either way they look cool!

I think the MDX would make a nice winter driver, but not a good replacement for the sports cars. At least have one sports car in the stable.

This. It makes more sense to have one DD and one fun car, if you still want to have a fun car. The MDX is definitely nice though. It's the SUV I would get if I was going to get one.

Don't underestimate the difference a good set of winter tires can make either. You might have clearance issues if there is a lot of snow accumulation, but if it's just like 2-3" you will probably be ok.

Well guys. 2014 is here and were already working on some new thangs. The Z is moving to a 4" single exhaust with a dual 3" split at the rear. It will look similar to a dual center Porsche style exhaust.

The next is an aggressive rear diffuser. Im tired of seeing aggressive diffusers on other cars like evos and sti's and the Z not having anything. So tonight I made a quick mock up. Has plenty of revisions to come but just to get a general idea across here are some pics.

I'll buy a Jeep over the MDX, Jeep is more rugged than that thin a$$ Honda MDX although it looks much better and nicer than the Jeep.
