Please note: the Rust-Oleum Plasti-dip stuff DOES NOT hold up well.... I repainted mine with some actual paint this week.
Had to remove my stickers because they started to peel as well 😪
I'm actually upset about that.
I had to replace my wiper motor because I destroyed the post trying to pull the blade arm off (it never did come off), and got one from cheaperhondaparts. It works well, but it's worth noting that it didn't come with a nut for the arm, and the threads didn't match those on the original part.
While I'm here: has anyone figured out a good way to smoke out their tail lights??
Also: any suggestions for good looking aftermarket headlights? My passenger side is taking on water and I can't fix it... At almost $300 each, for OEM, I might as well find something I like the look of...
I wrapped mine. I was going to plast-dip mine at first but tried the wrap out. It’s a pain to work with but came out ok. I’m going to just order a black LX one instead. When my stimulus shows up maybe by Christmas.......

I used Plastidip to coat the two red pillars of plastic that neither light nor reflect, has held up perfectly for a couple years now, looks great on my black LX...If they actually had a function, I'd've left them alone, but to me, they stick out like a sore useless thumb

I used Plastidip on my CRV's grill and all the chrome parts, it's been on almost a year and it hasn't budged, still looks perfect, through the winter salt, etc. Those useless pillar "reflectors" they call them, I replaced with the LED lights, and I'm completely happy with them, at least they are now functional.

Yeah, I considered the LED aftermarket lights, I'd be fine with the pillars if they served a purpose, even if they were just reflectors, LEDs would be great, but am kinda saving for new tires , if these tires ever wear out - original owner put Coopers on it right before he traded it in, they don't want to wear out...heh
Replaced my OEM battery with a 51R thanks to tips on this site. Particulars:
Factory battery lasted 3.5 years. Not a daily driver. SoCal location.
Purchased Interstate 51R from Costco. $78 after exchange, not including local taxes.
All radio settings remained intact. No other programming necessary.
Battery fit fine in stock tray. Mine is a “made in Japan” so had the longer tray.
Time to swap was about 30 minutes. It took longer to go to/return from Costco.

Slapped some "new to me" wheels on. Ordering BC coilovers soon to finish the look.
I see a Massachusetts plate also a few Comments back. I'm in Arlington MA!
I am thinking od blacking out my handles and some grill parts. Tell me, did you paint them? Prime them? If so, what paint? Can you please describe the process?
I was thinking of vinyl wrap. Do you think this would work?

How is the denting on the roof, if any?
I read (I think it was here) not to put racks on my car because they'll dent it.

We've got at least 3 of us here. I'm in Lowell, and there's a gray fit with pillar lights from MA, too.
Did you have any problems with clearances, particularly with that heatsink to the right of the battery?
I did the same, the day after I took my 16' EX home, no clearance issues, and it starts twice as fast over the OEM 151R that was still in it and still starting strong.
