Choose from the way the owner wants the entry to read

Choose Stainless Steel

Use the silver Stainless route when the Acura logo, top bars and side edge described on the listing are the intended visual treatment.

Choose Matte PRO

Use the Matte route when a painted upper plate, body-colour edge and illuminated top lettering suit the cabin.

Keep fitment separate

Finish does not choose the vehicle. Confirm RDX III, the year wording, threshold shape and FRONT or FRONT+REAR set on the exact page.

Before paying, compare the selected finish’s product photos with the prepared threshold and keep the wiring instructions attached to that same listing. Browse Acura Matte PRO listings or browse Acura door sills if the exact application still needs checking.
