Depending on weather Tuesday I start blacking out the chrome.

Will you also be able to black out the two front chrome grills with that material?

It is a film that goes over the chrome and makes it look black.

Ah, additive, not subtractive. Got it.

You mean the front fangs? Yes. I am going to start with the window trim since this will be a learning process.

Yes. Fangs is a good description.

Why didn't anyone warn me about the auto high beams? It is a really cool feature bit of you don't know it exists it kind of freaks you out when you are driving down your street and the high beams keep coming on between street lights.

I guess I need to get in there with my laptop and go over any other features I didn't know she had.

I'm surprised they were set to ON for autoheadlights. I had to deliberately go in and set mine, and at least in the gen5s it is probably the least intuitive of feature settings. I wonder if they improved this for the gen6.

I turn mine off...I'm never really in a place where I would want high beams (exclusively urban or freeway driving).

 

[Jo.Woodburn]

Not sure if I am a fan or not. I don't really use high beams where I live.

Excellent color! Congratulations!

I love the color, but I might be a little biased

 

[dundundata]

Though not my favorite I did like the red on the one I test drove. I have the high-beam thing on another vehicle, it's useful but I could see it being annoying to some.

Congrats! In another thread I think you mentioned having the deal install the hitch. Did they do that or are you having it done later?

I kind of wonder what the deal is with Canada. The ones produced in Ohio go from built to dealer in 2 weeks. Mine has been in transit since before Christmas.

Yay! Mine was still in Canada waiting for delivery but dealer gave me same model and color that was not picked up when it arrived Friday night.

So glad you got yours as well! They are so much fun to drive.

After a lifetime of blah colored cars, I traded my blue CRV in on a red 2017 CR-V a few months ago. I love, love, love ❤ the color so much that I get a little thrill every time I see it. Red is worth the wait! 🚗 🚘

I searched for a red one for several months, partly because my husband’s vision is so poor that he has trouble finding the car in parking lots when I’m waiting for him. Now we have a little running joke about how whenever we park somewhere it seems to attract other red cars. We often find it next to or surrounded by 2 or 3 more red cars.

Here’s my baby wearing a thick coat of ice.

I had a 2017 CRv exl same color. Enjoy! Got my new ride too.

Yesterday I had to go to the hardware store and put the screws in the backseat on the floor. When I got home and turned the car off it alerted me to check the backseat. I thought wait what, oh, screws. Still as someone who drives my older granddaughter a lot I think this is a really cool feature.

I thought the same thing you did, then I realized it's not that the car senses there's screws or whatever in the backseat, but that you opened the back door!

Still it seems a clever, and easy, way to just poke you a bit when you open the back door. I don't usually forget I put children in the backseat but I sure leave my laptop in there a lot. Saves me running around the house before realizing it is in the car in the garage.
