New CR-V, what should I get for it?

Hi friends - I drove a 2010 Honda Insight off the lot new in 2010 (and nearly into the ground with 210,926 miles!) then just a few days ago traded up to a 2021 CR-V EX w/ AWD.

I got a lot of value out of the Honda Insight forums as I diagnosed various things over the years so I am excited to be here in the CR-V forum, looking forward to learning a lot here.

My big question: What have you bought for your CR-V? How do you like it?

I'm thinking of mats, fob covers, seat covers, cargo liners, racks, phone mounts, organizers, etc. I added a few things to my Insight over time (seat covers, steering wheel cover, phone mount, hitch receiver, studded-snow tires, etc) and I figure it makes more sense to make some of these upgrades now so I can enjoy them longer and/or protect my new purchase. I plan to drive this thing for at least another 210,926 miles and am wondering what folks have bought (that they like!) to help them enjoy or protect their car the way I'm trying to.

I have already added:

Honda roof rails since I'll use the roof for cargo eventually and so they'd be included in my 3/36,000
High-wall Honda mats since they seemed nicer than WeatherTech
DrawTite 2" hitch receiver for my bike rack

Thanks!

Welcome and congrats on your new ride!

So far all I have added to mine is OEM SS tailpipe extensions, cargo net and these inserts that fit into all the little cubbies in the car. They fit like a glove too.

Welcome to the forum JMTco, and welcome to your new shiny CRV.

A dog.. Every CRV needs a dog, with cool shades and a bandana around the neck... riding in the back seat as you chauffeur them around.

Seriously though.. sky is the limit, but personally I only ever add a cargo mat, sheepskin seat covers, and anti-spill floor mats front/rear. Though for my current 2017... I did buy a Photodon screen protector for the Head Unit. Not to protect is from scratches, but because the Head Unit comes from the factory with a matte finish on the touch screen, and I want a smooth oleophobic touch screen.

My touring came with roof rails, so I added the crossbars, which I installed myself. I also bought the OEM all weather floor mats, both front and back. I am thinking about getting the protector for seat backs when you have them down for carrying cargo.

I learned here that the OEM all-weather mats are supposed to be extra cost.
My dealer gave me the carpet mats and the all-weather ones with the car. I assumed that was standard.
They seem to work well, especially this past winter.
