Hello all! First post here but I have owned many Hondas. The CRV is my wife's and I drive an 03 Element. So my question is do the oem CRV Touring muffler tips fit the Ex? I checked and the mufflers do have different part numbers so I'm thinking it won't work. I don't think the Touring ones...

Weird question maybe, but I really want to keep the black interior of my EX-L looking clean and new and I'm curious whether there are any specific tools or wipes that are highly recommended? With my last vehicle I'd use a leather wipe for some surfaces but then it would make glossier surfaces...

Hi there. We just purchased our 1st CRV - a white 2016 model and we are thrilled with it. Since we have never owned a CRV before, we were curious if other owners have any tips that helped them to optimize their experience or helped them extend the life of their CRV. There didn't seem to be much...

Hi all, 2006 CR-V. Just curious if anyone knows reliable car painters in Orange County (Cerritos, Fullerton, Garden Grove triangle area, if possible!)? I bought my CR-V at 25K miles and it was already scratched up and had yellowed headlights, and a wore-down drivers seat. Not sure why that...

Hi guys, Just checking out this forum, as I've sent my CR-V in for Airbag Recall & Electrical review. This is my first "serious" vehicle. Bought it around 2010 as Certified from Dealer with 25K miles on it, but only drive around 10 miles per day/average, because work is so close to me...

Just replaced the serpentine belt in the 2009 CR-V today. The old belt looked worn, but the car was still running well. The OEM belt can be purchased on Amazon for around $20. Bando is Honda's OEM manufacturer for belts, so I would go with Bando over an off-brand like Gates or Dayco. Here is...
