Hi All,

Just got my "V" about a week and a half ago.....it came stock with Wheel Locks.

I got some accessories from H & A Accessories....

added on

1) Side Door Moldings (easy to install)
2) Front Mud Gaurds (very easy to install)
3) All weather mats

Will plan to tint front windows during/after spring time - tint will be lighter than the factory tint

This is my first automatic-tranny, first AWD and first SUV vehicle -- last auto was a 2003 Honda Accord LX 5 spd manual:)

Congratulations on your purchase and great photos. I had toyed with the side moulding but I have a hell of time getting a postage stamp on square with the envelope and was afraid I would install it crooked. Knowing my luck I would trip and apply it to the windows. Is there any forgiveness when you apply it? That is can you move it around or does it stick to the first spot that it touches?

LOL...I had a helper install with me. I really think there would be NO forgiveness if the initial contact of the adhesive to the door was made....just being careful and taking our time in following the directions I think was the key to a good install.

Hopefully this side molding will help in preventing dings on the door:D

Nice V! :)

Can you take some pics with your V in the foreground of some of those famous San Francisco area landmarks and scenery? We would love to see some of that.

Remember that we have members all over the world. Show off your location and V!

Chivas1,

These photos look fantastic! I visited SF couple of years ago near Giradelli's Chocolate Factory. I really enjoyed the Pier too. We took some great photos of Golden Gate Bridge from different places. Your CR-V looks fantastic! I am glad I got the Whistler Silver too.
