Hi Everyone!
I've had my CRV since Oct and LOVE it! I've finally have gotten around to taking pictures so I can show it off. It's so much fun to drive. I even added Sirius satellite(loving that too!) I especially like the last pic even though it's a little fuzzy. My car will end up getting about 400 miles on this tank of gas...YEAH!

great pictures and great mpg!
Did the mpg improve after the break-in period? If so when did you mpg start improving?

Great pictures Toni!!! 8)

I am glad to see that you are completely satisfied with your CR-V. You are getting great gas milage too... I always wanted to see what the wood dash kit would look like, and it looks fantastic! I am thrilled to see that you have already replaced the Honda head unit with a quality Alpine product! I have a soft spot for Alpine stuff :) Did you replace the door speakers as well?

Anyway, great job and feel free to post more pictures!

Hi Mitch & nearmsp,

Thanks guys!

I put the wood grain kit on in about 10 minutes since it is bascially peel & stick. Super simple! This site has been great for recommendations and information. I came here to get the suggestion for the Alpine system, probably from you Mitch. I did replace all four speakers with Infinity. Sounds Great!
As for the gas mileage, it has gotten better since the weather has warmed up here in California. I normally get 19.5 /20.0 city and 27/28 freeway. I was thrilled to get 30.0 on a recent trip to Santa Cruz.
Thanks Again!

I got the dash cover online at coverkingcovers.com for $29.95 + shipping.

I've never seen an LX on here loaded with that much accessories. Hood protector, wood dash kit, dash cover, cargo cover, tailgate spoiler, and stereo. Good decisions.

Did you install the spoiler yourself? I'm doing mine this week(end).
