Too dim. Also a lot of high end cars use led to add elegance and class to the interior. The pictures show the lights to be a lot brighter than they actually are. I have a baby in the back and I was a little worried it would be to bright if she was sleeping but they’re perfect.
What did you do to your Honda Passport today?

I finally Plasti Dip’d my Passport emblems!
So thrilled with the result. Did it myself, less than 1/4 can of the Plasti Dip from Home Depot, 5 coats total. Many, many broken toothpicks!
Even had to do my license plate frames!

Hey Wayne!
It was a combination of videos, reading, etc...
Super easy.
Prep:
With damp cloth wipe down all the emblems, use a damp qtip to get in the little nooks.
Paint tape around the emblems leaving about 1-2” between the tape and emblem.
All I had was a bunch of printer paper, but it worked. Masked the whole area as photographed.
Depending on where you live, it’s suggested the Plasti Dip can is a bit warmer. I just set mine on the asphalt by my garage.
Paint:
Before each coat - Shake the can for about a minute and spray some test shots.
#1) Spray the emblem for about 50% coverage.
Wait 30 minutes.
#2) Spray more coverage
Wait 30 minutes
#3 - #5) Sprays even more coverage, get at the angles to get on the sides of the emblems.
Wait 30 minutes.
At the 30 minute mark, start removing all the tape and paper. Then peel the plasti dip off really slowly, especially close to the emblems.
I had to get into the nooks with toothpicks to get the paint out.
And then I read wait 24 hours for it to cure from water, car wash, etc...it’s definitely tacky feeling still. Will check it tomorrow and see.
The awesome part about this is if you F-it up, it just peels off. I tested the inside of my door to double check before starting!?
And another member here, (Mezzfin), had a modern steel he did and that’s what sold me. I had to see my color. ?

Awesome, thank you for the reply, I will definitely try this when I get a chance.

Here's what I just installed today. Very easy to pop in and out. Used a thin blade screwdriver to carefully pry off the covers.

I had them in my CRV and now the passport, and live in So Cal., no rain or snow for months! But love how they keep all the dirt and pebbles contained for a quick clean up!

Habit, I guess. With the salt and crud from winter, here in VA and previously in Wisconsin and Minnesota, I clean them up and put them away for next winter. Otherwise, they look grungy. I do the same with the OEM carpet mats in the winter. Clean them up and put them away until spring.
That may change when we move back to FL next spring for my final few years in the Army and retire!
Cheers!

Yeah - that's true.
So many things we are spoiled with living here. But then pay the price in cost of living and taxes!

Got these cool little cubby and nook inserts today!
I think it was more fun trying to figure out which cubby they go in and discovering more hiding spots!
And got two window tints fixed after whatever object was thrown or flew in my car and made two huge gashes on Saturday.

New to this whole SUV obsession thing. Installed weather tech all weather liners in front and back, Honda cargo mat (the only one that I could find that folds), trunk organizer and backseat organizer for when we drive down to OBX next week. Tried looking for a way to collect trash (my kid eats all the time!) and couldn’t find anything that I liked. Settled for a simple hook that attaches to the back of the passenger side headrest and a simple plastic bag with handles. Not cute but does the trick. Hook actually isn’t big enough. Our seats are thick! Anyone have any other hook ideas?

I just snagged Pilot Elite machined wheels from my local dealer, mounting them right now . Pewter wheels might be going for sale soon.

Welcome aboard this SUV obsession thing and to the forum! Search in amazon for: car garbage cans or bins.
Carbage is a regular trash bin that clips on to your floormat to stay in place.
They also have the ones that attach to the headrest in different sizes from other brands.
And also special cupholder bins, with push in lids.
It all depends on your preference and your needs.
