Ill make a how to tint your H emblem video if y’all would like one! Not too difficult. Also no effect on ACC noticed. Let me know 😊

[@alexanderriservato588]

Please do

[@UnknownAlioso]

Do you have a link?

In 2023, this is the best looking car out there right now imo. Its a very beautiful design. Honda hit a grand slam with this 2023 design. Lots of people comment on how good it looks and its the very first thing that they say about this vehicle.

[@DrHondaCRV]

Thank you! I agree. Great design

[@rafars2246]

Finally upgraded my horn to dual horn and definitely was the best upgrade ever. I used the PIAA Automotive Superior Bass Horn, love it.

[@dabossatx5]

Looks awesome! This was the first thing I did when I got the car. I have the white sport touring which I love with the black look but seeing your gray makes me regret not getting this color. That gray and black looks super clean!

[@DrHondaCRV]

Thank you! I often think about white. I think a fully black accented white trim would look cool like a sormtrooper

[@artsempai]

Bro this is awesome 👏 I have a meteoroid grey crv, and it looks amazing in stock, but yours is on the next level

[@DrHondaCRV]

Thank you so much!

[@Dannyup]

Link to the tailgate spoiler?

[@loqnsz718]

Yes please

[@joegowac4617]

Finally got mine today! Meteorite grey. Scheduled my chrome delete, window tints, and ceramic coating in June!

[@DrHondaCRV]

Nice!! Congratulations 🎊

[@tb8517]

This is the best paint color IMO. Your midnight edition is next level. 🎉

[@DrHondaCRV]

Thank you!!

[@xelawash]

Mannnn your CRV is 🔥🔥🔥

[@DrHondaCRV]

Thank youu!

[@actionvj]

Car looks SWEET!! Does the hyper dip & vinyl require any special treatment when washing? I imagine you’re hand washing your car. I wouldn’t mind see a video of your process. What you spray on & where. What you leave, what you let air dry etc. Thanks!

[@DrHondaCRV]

Great Idea. Ill make a Wash video! Definitely hand wash. The only prep for the dip and vinyl was wiping with rubbing alcohol to clean. You dont want water 24 hrs prior to hyperdip

[@StarManProduction]

Looks really good! Just need to black out the Amber side reflector to complete it!

[@awcw]

How did you get the front ports off?

[@NiwradarwiN23]

Part number of the hood deflector?

[@danny_0cean.onfire776]

Loving the look! Thoughts on hyper dipping the chrome H emblems on the rims? And if so can you make a video?! I think they can pop off the rim entirely but not sure.

[@zofo_5735]

Looks awesome ! Where did you get your air hood deflector ✅ looks better with every mod 👍

[@DrHondaCRV]

Thank You! you can get them from your dealer or the online dealer links I listed in the description

[@itsBRUNObruh]

Any chance you could show us how the install went for hood deflector? My CR-V is on the way and I appreciate all the upgrade videos you've been sharing. :D

[@DrHondaCRV]

Thank you! That one actually was installed by the dealer. But the link in my bio for college honda. Has pdf instructions for installation that the dealer gets. You can follow that!

[@davidhasson1349]

Looks like you need the body side moldings....you'll be glad you got them!

[@DrHondaCRV]

Do they look cool? I want a body kit. Haha

[@davidhasson1349]

tried to post picture - didnt work.

[@DrHondaCRV]

@@davidhasson1349 i googled it. Theyre grey huh? I need to keep the dark esthetic xD

[@user-kc6hu1kh2t]

Video how to install the hood deflector please.

[@DrHondaCRV]

I had the dealership do it

[@Kmkmkmkm0010]

Honda designers need to see and learn from your car!

[@DrHondaCRV]

Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏 I got more changes coming.

[@seikern43]

Nice job, keep doing videos!

[@DrHondaCRV]

Thank you! 🎉 will do

[@Kevin-mk6jo]

This car is cheaper now, than when he bought it lol 😂. Told you, should have waited lol

[@DrHondaCRV]

Ok. So pay 1000 every month for rentals for 12 months? So much cheaper….

[@Kevin-mk6jo]

​@@DrHondaCRVor bought a beater that gets you to and from and wait..... till November. 😂. But you do u...

[@DrHondaCRV]

@@Kevin-mk6jo i need the road safety. Especially after why my last car is gone. I value my life. Money doesn’t matter to me as much. 🙃

[@jasonwilliams6005]

Looking great!

[@DrHondaCRV]

Thank you!!

[@_2na]

Do you have any tips for installing the extended spoiler? Mine has a gap between it and the tail light I can't figure out.

[@DrHondaCRV]

I had the dealer do it. Above my pay grade lol

[@apurvapatel932]

Bro looks awesome. Any idea on if I can replace 7 inch screen with 9 inch?

[@DrHondaCRV]

Thanks! I'td be alot of work, i think maybe the dealer would have to change that out.

[@sage0ne619]

Well done. Looks great. I want to do this with a red model. How much of this can you get done if you special order from Honda? Roof rails, window covers, spoiler, and a few emblems blacked out Honda will install. I wonder if they can do the chrome as well...

[@DrHondaCRV]

They charge absurd installation fees... They wanted $200 to install my floor mats. aka toss them on the car floor.. If you have some time you could probably save $1000 .. make a weekend hobby. If cash is no object. they can do all you listed. then you can tint windwos and chrome delete at most auto tint shops.

[@Kxngcjs]

How’d you do the side vinyl thing that goes around the windows but towards the back it’s a weird shape I’m trying to do the same thing but I’m not sure how I’d go about it

[@DrHondaCRV]

Its a little harder. But doable. You need the 2x5 sheet in my description. Place it over the whole window. Then cut. Gotta press down and find the edges. I did a rough cut. Then percise one

[@JeffTuneK]

🔥🔥🔥

[@UnknownAlioso]

Really love the look. May I ask how hard it was removing and re-attaching the emblems? Is it a pain to remove that window trim? How durable is the HyperDip? Lastly what color model is that?

[@DrHondaCRV]

I didnt remove anything. Hyperdip! Check my other videos. Pretty easy to do. Excess peels of perfectly around the edges. Color is Metorite metallic grey

[@DrHondaCRV]

Window trim 3M vinyl

[@UnknownAlioso]

@@DrHondaCRV is this how you did the rings around those ports on the lower front fascia? Did you need to take those off or left on?

[@DrHondaCRV]

@@UnknownAlioso left them on. Hyperdip. Watch my hyperdip video

[@apovio]

What were your reasons for not using HyperDip on the window chrome and instead used the vinyl tape?

[@DrHondaCRV]

Probably would work just as well! I just found it to be easier for me to use sheet vinyl. I mainly used hyperdip because the logos are too intricate for a sheet vinly. But the window trim is basically a rectangle. So it was way faster to sheet vinyl it. 10 min compared to 3 -4 hrs of waiting for multiple coats of hyperdip to set.

[@rvrn77]

Would definitely love to know how you did the front emblem. Have you noticed any issue with the radar that’s behind it now that it’s darker? Love the way it looks! I just had my front grill and emblem replaced as I had bumped into a pole and cracked them both unfortunately. Would have for sure been cheaper if I had your skills.

[@DrHondaCRV]

Oh no! How unfortunate. So far no issues with radar. But will keep testing before I drop the link for tint and a how to video!

[@Rz-tt9zu]

Did you do vinyl or plastidip? I want to plastidip both front and back but I’m afraid it will mess up the radar.

[@DrHondaCRV]

@@Rz-tt9zu neither. I did a sheet of tint. Found a cutout on ebay. Ill link in next video

[@Rz-tt9zu]

@@DrHondaCRV alright thanks man

[@rafars2246]

Looks great but I just added more chrome with the license plate frame 🤣

[@DrHondaCRV]

Noooo hahaha. I got a black silicone plate holder.

[@DrHondaCRV]

I need black plates now

[@rafars2246]

@@DrHondaCRV I am breaking my head when it comes to be prepared for a tire emergency. So much time wasting thinking in what to do best for capability/practicality/space taking. For now I ordered PITTSBURGH PRO 1/2 in. Drive Extendable Ratchet, which is cheap and awesome since it takes no much space and can convert to a breaker bar to remove lug nuts and also tight them. Basically with the 12" inch rachet you would hold the wheel when it is in the air and make it as tight as possible. Then lower the tire to the ground and give it a quarter extra turn with the extended breaker bar. That will give you a pretty accurate 80, 85 pounds or so for the lug nuts, until you have access to a torque wrench. I also got this DAKCOS 19mm Impact Lug Nut Socket, 1/2 inch Drive, With Protective Sleeves,CR-MO which is a protective socket so the wheel doesn't get damaged. Every time I used regular sockets I ended up scratching the wheels, no matter how careful I was. Then I also got the ABN 3 Ton Electric Hydraulic Jack - Automatic Emergency Lift for All Cars, Vans, Trucks, SUVs, which is the best for an emergency, size wise for this car. I might get something else, no idea. I wish I could talk to a Honda engineer to see if occupying the empty space near the battery is possible without affecting the battery performance. Once I'm done I'll share here.

[@Godsons.]

Would you add rain guards?

[@DrHondaCRV]

Probably soon!

[@alexanderriservato588]

Where did you get the sport spoiler from? Also, was it easy to install?

[@DrHondaCRV]

Hardin honda. I had them do it.

[@alexanderriservato588]

@@DrHondaCRV Price range? If you don’t kind me asking

[@rafars2246]

No idea why youtube doesn't let me share, but if you search for Honda Dual Snail Horn Upgrade, you will find the Y dual horn connector in the first result. For those who plan to replace the single Honda horn.

[@filipanese_gui]

Not 100% midnight …the chrome around the exhaust tips and the tail lights

[@DrHondaCRV]

I like the contrast of the red/ black. Not sure its legal to tint the brake lights in my state. Ill see if it’s possible to black out the exhaust

[@jimmyzwheelz]

Now you need to black out your exhaust finishers.

[@DrHondaCRV]

Yup’! Forgot those. Will do it tomorrow probably. I will add some black stripes down the hood possibly as well

[@tb8517]

I just installed an OEM looking dash cam, fitcamx. I’m sure you’d like it for your clean build.

I got a 70mai ! But thank you 🙏

Best CRV thread on youtube! letsgoooo

[@garynair5143]

Unless there's anything more substantial than window dressing , then its a pass, especially when anything labelled "edition" subjects buyers to high markups.
