What did you do to your Honda Passport today?

Installed an aftermarket roof basket. See my build thread in the Build forum.

$1,495 and they are also doing the mirrors and would have included the rear bumper, if I had not already bought that through Honda...!

Got it done, looks great, I'd show you a picture, but since it's clear you wouldn't be able to see it...!

Bought a set of splash guards. Dealer's part department had said they would price match if I brought a printed copy to them since they need to submit it to admin. College Hills Honda sells them online for $72 (retail $115). My dealer even had them in stock. Very nice high quality molded splash guards. Waiting for a break in the weather to install.

Had the dealer install the ATF cooler so I can tow 5k and the rear tailgate welcome lights today (and yesterday too ?) just wish I could tell I spent bunch of money but I can’t when I look at the PP ???///anyone have any experience with the tailgate tent or similar (part of the reason for the tailgate lights)?

Window/windshield tint (20 over 20 around the back, 30 front, and 80 windshield), tail light smoke, as well as debadged and ceramic coating the paint. I guess I'm a storm trooper now.

Looks great! Where did you get the Smoked Taillights?

Updated the navigation from 2018.10 to 2019.01. Took less than 20 minutes once plugged into the system. Tomorrow going to get a quote for the XPEL protection film. Roof cross bars and rear bumper protector arrive on Monday from H&A .

Installed sunvisor stickers to cover the warning labels. Those labels never bothered me before, but with the Passport's all black interior they really stand out. I got them from Sunvisorsolutions.com. For $4.00 you can order a sample of all the colors and fabrics. They offer four colors of black. I chose #1575 "Perfect Black". Very close match to the color and texture of the sunvisor. I order the full sheet and cut to size, espcially since I wanted to cover the two warning stickers on the driver side visor with a one-piece black sticker.

Same place that did the tint, etc. They're the factory lights. They just pulled them off and smoked them with a couple shades of a product they use. Not sure what it is exactly. Second car I've had them do. I believe the process is basically sand, smoke, smoke again then polish if I remember correctly.

Edit: And thank you!

How much do you need to do both Visors?

Looks great. Big difference. Did you like the match? How close. What made you decide that black over other two?

cchambers · Nov 22, 2023

My brother had purchased the sample sheet a couple of years ago for his Ridgeline. I used it and compared the shades of black and thought the "Perfect Black" was the best match for color and texture. Not perfect but very very close. Using a full sheet, you can custom cut for both visors and still have some left over. It would also be good as a liner for the sliding tray in the center console, which I plan to use the extra for.
Even though it's a VERY close match, it is obvious that this is a "sticker" over the original warning labels as there is a nominal amount of thickness to the "sticker".

alexander55 · Nov 23, 2023

Thanks for the quick reply. Looks better than that ugly yellow sticker. Appreciate the information. I will be ordering it tomorrow.

One other question. Does it cut cleanly and is it easy to cut?

I first tried cutting it with good scissors, but because of the adhesive backing I found it better to cut with a sharp box-cutter razor knife, (or any sharp razor blade type cutter). Of course lay it on a piece of cardboard or something to protect the surface you're cutting on. Using the razor blade produced a clean cut. Again, note that I made one large piece to cover both warning stickers on the driver sunvisor, rather than making two separate pieces.

Put the license plates and new frames on today (plate transfer from previous vehicle). I thought I'd go with black license plate frames since my Passport is Crystal Black Pearl, but decided to go with chrome frames for a bit of contrast. Splash guards install later this week, stay tuned!

Out of curiosity....Why did you not try to remove the sticker using the Blow Dryer method?

I tried that method a few years ago on another car and it didn't work very well. I watched the video and once he removed the sticker he pointed out the discoloration on the visor and if you look closely you can also see a difference of texture in some areas where the sticker was. It might work great for some but I didn't want to chance messing up the visor. Note also he mentioned he just bought that visor at the dealer and it's never been installed in a car. I wonder why he had to buy a new visor? Messed up the original trying out the sticker removal process?

For areas where it is warm enough already - I'd think if you left your car in the sun with the windows rolled up long enough you could also peel the stickers off? It might need to be done over a few hours to allow it to reheat.

I added a cargo tray and the all weather mats and the trunk cover. We have quite a bit of car break-in's around where I live, so I'd rather keep my personals hidden.
