Looking good! Nice tint. 20%?

 

A41Billy, I'm sorry but I have no clue. It's the tint I got from Palm Harbor Honda, so it's their standard.


Thanks for the compliment.

 

It looks like 20. Thats what I have also. Nice and dark.

 

Like the red. Needs blacked out grill. I hate the chrome mustache look. The LX grill is inexpensive and make a big difference on install.

 

Boy, I like it just the way it is. The "Chrome Mustache" matches the Alloy Wheels. I also love the tint. They won't let us go that dark in Tennessee.

I need to look up Dunedin, it looks just like St. Petersburg, where my Dad grew up.

 

Vanguard, the photo was in fact taken in Pass-a-Grille which is essentially St. Pete's Beach. We were on a field trip today. Good eye!

I like the grille, but I also like the accessory sport grille I've seen - "Milano", perhaps? I'm the definition of "not handy" and feel like I can save the couple hundred bucks.

I spent a bunch of time in St. Petersburg, back in the early 90's, just taking pictures of places I thought my Dad would remember. There is an abundance of wonderful architecture. For years his Mom worked as a nurse for the old V.A. Hospital, before purchasing a seasonal Bed and Breakfast, near downtown.

I can't imagine people renting a room in the winter and sharing a bathroom, with a bunch of strangers. They did however, and the same people would come back year after year. Most of those places have now shut down or been renovated into Apartments (or torn down and replaced with a large hotel). The income put my Dad through Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon).

Thanks for the trip down memory lane....

 

I love how it looks without the license plate in the front. So clean.

 

Here is a link to the installation instructions. At first brush, it seems a bit overwhelming, but really it is not. At one point is does say "With the help of an assistant, release one retaining tab on each side".

Perhaps you could purchase the item yourself to save some money and talk the local dealer into installing it for you, for a reduced labor fee. Just throw yourself at his mercy, claiming you thought you could do it, but realized later that it was above your pay grade.

Here is a link for the purchase, the cheapest I could find (196.ish, plus shipping).

Wow! Your car looks like you drove it straight from the showroom to the beach. The tint really makes it stand out. I agree with Vanguard--the chrome accent looks great and really sets off the look--just the right amount.

 

See what happens when you have the Mud Flaps installed? And people say they don't help...

 

Thanks all! I do baby the car to keep it looking good, plus it sits under a carport. I wash it and vacuum it monthly, plus I do a quick detailing after each drive. It does only have 600 miles on it though, since we live in a very walkable town and we're retired.

The mud flaps were part of what one poster called the 'proctology package', but I'm glad to have gotten them, along with the wheel locks and the cargo tray.

 

Wow...man I love that color and the tint. Awesome!

 

I had not noticed the wheel locks before you mentioned them. I suppose this is what a wheel thief would see, when walking by and deciding if your car is a good target or not.

Based on that, I am putting ours on next week when my daughter is home for the weekend (along with the side moldings that, as I recall, you said "looked worse than the dents they are designed to prevent").

I will post pictures when I'm done and see if you're right.....unless of course you are right, in which case we don't want any photographic evidence on hand (just to be sure, I may tape them on using masking tape first).

 

awesome shots man!!

 

Vanguard, you DO have a good memory!

 

I remembered your comment because it was hilarious. Very "dry" and "Witty".

 

NI-I-I-I-ICE!

The color and the tints really make it stand out.
