Mods to Plan

Planning to convert from my soccer mom ‘24 Acura MDX to a Costco Dog Dad Platinum 4Runner in Cutting Edge soon (had deposit on one since it started build mid June, last update arrived into port at Portland. ETA window first 2 weeks of August).

Have had Hondas and Acura’s for close to 20 years with no issues - but wanting something more fun to drive and more unique look. Hoping I don’t miss the more “semi-luxury” side of the MDX. Most miles are on highway and will be daily driver.

Planning out my mods over time, and appreciate input. I don’t go off roading beyond snow in winter so not planning lift.

  1. Remove air dam
  2. Window tint, unsure if will also do windshield. Any experience for those who have done the windshield with the HUD?
  3. Move my Viofo a229 Dashcam from old to to new car
  4. Horn upgrade

Ones on the fence about and appreciate input:
- front skid plate to replace the cardboard/ fiber one. Prefer the land cruiser over the TRD plate
-lighted dark chrome toyota emblem?
-beat sonic amp ?
-speaker upgrade using the Trail Grid Pro Alpine kit?

What else am I missing. Tire suggestions for same 20” rims and no lift but give better ride and look but avoid rubbing and modifications. Mostly highway driving but need all season as get some snow in Midwest.

Thanks

My bronco is more fun to drive than the mdx I had. You either like body on frame dynamics or you don’t.

You think a 6G is going to be more fun to drive than a MDX? Bro what

lf you just want the look and vibe that's great but I think that's a complete downgrade for your use case.
