2 weeks in and have thoroughly enjoyed every mile and minute. Added lighted running boards, body side molding, ceramic tints for fronts, cargo cover, Honda rubber mats, cargo liner, door edge and handle film, Passport door sill protectors, center console organizer and rubber coasters from Amazon (highly recommended) and who knows what’s next...

 

[jamielee]

What type of center console organizer and how are you using the rubbers coasters?

 

[jamielee]

Here’s the coasters in the center cup holders and the organizer from Amazon for $12.99. You’ll have to trim the coasters but the rubber is easy to cut and really serves its purpose well.

Those are cool. Do they light up when you unlock the doors with the fob?

Exactly. They turn on when you unlock and Off when you lock. I’m really glad I went for it. Approaching the car in the parking lot tonight was enlightening!

Do these help with the water bottle vibration? I have that with my hydroflask coffee bottle in my CRV and tried everything but this to stop it. That's another thing - do these cup holders hold the 32 oz hydroflask? I have mine right now in a chalk bag carabiner'd' to my sliding cup holder...super ghetto style!

Definitely helps w vibration. Got them for my hydro flask but not sure of the size. In my ridgeline, I lined the inside w felt (not too cool) but these rubber coasters solve it.

Money Pit update: Project Blackout. Really happy with how it turned out. Gloss Black

 

[jamielee]

Ohhh. I need this in my life for my last remaining badge .. the H. What means did you use?

It was done with Plasti Dip Gloss

 

[jamielee]

So true, money pit city and I don’t even want to know what I have spent so far (ignorance is bliss but bad on budgets ?) / I just had the rear tailgate welcome lights installed at the dealer (will not try to tackle electrical things) for camping light help to get around the beep opening the tailgate and like them a lot - need to figure out how to take a pic like above that shows them on with out being washed out ?

I was thinking about the tailgate lights but decided just the running board w lights. Anxious to see a pic of the back lights!

 

[jamielee]

Both from Amazon. Just look up Honda accessories.

 

[jamielee]

is it possible to black out the front?

Didn’t want to try that since sensors are in there. Don’t want to mess up cruise control function.

 

[jamielee]

Looks great! I've been really thinking about this but I'm not sure I have the patience needed for Plasti Dip, especially "gently" removing the excess around the letters.

.

Exactly my sentiments. That’s why I left it up to professionals that do it everyday. About $100 and no mess and perfect application w one year guarantee.

 

[jamielee]

Here goes/I’m in the garage and best I can do as there is a large table saw and dust capturer behind me so I can’t back up but it is something at least for the tailgate welcome lights. ?

Thank you. That looks really good. It looks like a good match/addition to the lighted running boards.

Money Pit Update - A Touch Of Red. Had the calipers painted w ceramic red. Really happy with just a touch of red.

 

[jamielee]

Thank you stevenD. I thought I’d take a chance and glad I did!

 

[jamielee]

Can someone link the rubber coaster inserts please?

Thx.
.

When you receive, they will be too big to fit. If you trim to the “score line” it will be too small. It should be almost halfway and you’ll have a good fit. Hope my experience helps you!

 

[jamielee]

Looks great!

Does painting the calipers have any effect on braking performance?

Also as requested by another member - the cost for the same

No effect on performance at all. It takes getting in and out of the car a little longer as I have to stop and stare?. The cost was only $150!

 

[jamielee]

How much did they charge to paint the calipers?

Best $150 I spent on the Passport?
