Black is so awesome looking. How do you like cleaning it compared to your old silver Pilot, is it a LOT harder?

I like the grill as well.

Can you tell me what the Prestige CL100 --- Vehicle Satellite Command System is?

Suzie has lots of $$$$$'s spent on her. :wink:

It's a shame that the Pilot is such a boring looking vehicle. No style. Box on wheels. (I'm allowed to say that. I own one. :lol: )

Thanks everyone for the compliments.

Skyout, I like the NBP much more than the silver because the work I put into keeping it clean shows. On the silver, because of its less reflective properties, never gleamed as much as black. Since I am anal (I'm a graphic designer), I spend just a little bit more time, not much more, cleaning Suzie.

For all who like the grill, I got it from caseyscustomz on eBay. The phone number is in his listings and he is great to work with.

Miko, I kind of agree with you on the lack of character which is why I am adding to it to give it some. As far as spending the money on her, I actually took a lot of what I had on my 03 Pilot and put it on Suzie.

What do you all think? Should I submit her for COTM? :D

2006 flares come in matte black, not painted unfortunately. So you'll have to get a good body shop (or dealer) to paint it for you. Don't forget to tell them to make sure to use a flex agent on it.

Thanks for the compliments.

i just put down 5hundred for my pilot. and i think theyre ugly - well used to think- until i saw yours. its beautiful - really. and i'm very critical also (a graphic designer as well)

question: are those 20's or 22's? i dont like the stock 16's because theyre out of proportion with the rest of the vehicle- too small. and is it legal to have tints on the front windows? how much were your rims?

• i just put down 5hundred for my pilot. and i think theyre ugly - well used to think- until i saw yours. its beautiful - really. and i'm very critical also (a graphic designer as well)

Thanks :D

• question: are those 20's or 22's?

They are actually 19's. Falken Koblenz with Toyo Proxes S/T 255/50/19.

• i dont like the stock 16's because theyre out of proportion with the rest of the vehicle- too small.

Agree with you 100% -- that's why I changed them. Lived for 3 years with a 2003 with 16s. Couldn't do it for another 3.

• and is it legal to have tints on the front windows? how much were your rims?

Depending on the state you live in, there are acceptable amounts of tint for the fronts. The tint I have is equal to factory at 35%. They just look darker cuz of the angle and the sunshade being closed.

Here are links for each states specs

Rims and tires together as a package were $1600.00 at Eastcoast Automotive in Harrison, NJ. Great guys to work with. They did the tints also. They will be storing the rims/tires for me in the cold months when the tiny 16s come back on.

I'll use your for inspiration, but right now off the lot, doesnt look bad.
Going to do the following:

New rims, tire combo- all weather. (cant do the whole changing thing)
Mudguards
Crossbars
New Floor mats (Honda, rubber)
New sound system (custom)
