#500 of 531 hitch package and running boards by valone1966 Apr 28, 2008 (2:37 pm)
Has anyone installed these items by themselves? The running boards do not look too difficult to install, but the hitch package seems to be a bear. Any help would be appreciated.
#501 of 531 Bike Rack by trickydick Jun 11, 2008 (8:29 am)
I just bought a 2008 MDX without a roofrack or a trailer hitch. I take my kids' bikes with us to the shore (2 hour drive) just 2-3 times a year so I am looking for a bike rack I can use to transport their bikes. I don't want to break the bank adding a roof rack or trailer hitch. I'd prefer a strap rack, but the major manufacturers (Thule and Yakima) don't seem to recommend a partcular strap rack for this car. Any suggestions about a make/model that I can use safely and with little risk of losing my bikes off the back?

Replying to: trickydick (Jun 11, 2008 8:29 am) Hello, I would surely recommend getting a good 2" hitch even if its not from Acura directly. You have already invested a fair amount and using any other rack type will only damage your tail gate and or bumper. I have seen too many of those dents from the strap-racks and the hitch can come in handy for other purposes later on perhaps. Amazon has lots of decent 2,3,4, and even 5 bike racks that are hitch mounted. Replies to this message: trickydick (Jun 11, 2008 12:46 pm)

Replying to: youdrive (Jun 11, 2008 12:36 pm) Other than Acura, who do I buy a hitch from? What do they cost? I leased my Acura (3 years) so it doesn't seem to make much sense spending upwards of $500 on a hitch and bike rack.

Installed this weekend, took about 3 hours on my 2008 MDX. Saved $350 that the dealer wanted to have them installed, they would not lower the price. A few steps in the installation are tricky. They look great. Replies to this message: kaabob (Jul 07, 2008 9:59 pm)

Replying to: spark763 (Jun 17, 2008 6:47 am) I'm also thinking of installing them myself. How did you complete step 8) Secure all the bolts and nuts you installed. Torque the flange bolts to 27 N·m (20 lb-ft.). How did you know how much torque (quantitatively) to secure the bolt?
#506 of 531 Fender Well Garnish '07-'09 by mdxrrrrr Nov 23, 2008 (8:03 pm)
Does anyone have some good pictures of the "Fender Well Garnish" Accessory installed on their MDX? Acura part # 08P21-STX-200. Are you happy with the look? Were they easy to install? What are they made of? Do you think it was worth the cost? Thanks in advance.

Replying to: mdxrrrrr (Nov 23, 2008 8:03 pm) Or does anyone know a website where there is some good "before and after" pix of an MDX with the Fender Well Garnishes (# 08P21-STX-200) installed? IMHO, the stock photo on Acura's website doesn't show them very well. Replies to this message: sanjaysdca (Nov 24, 2008 1:24 pm) mdxrrrrr (Nov 24, 2008 2:52 pm)
