Thanks! I can't wait to get my weathertech mats, so far haven't heard anything about shipping it. It said 1-2 weeks on their website not sure its shipping date or delivery date. Since I am in Ca they ship from MA that's at least 1 week shipping time.   I am also looking to get cargo mats/cargoliner. Honda's cargo mats look like too samll it starts from 3rd seat latch to the tail gate. Weathertech also sells cargoliner $99.95+$8.-(shipping). Too bad Roadworksauto only has pic for previous model 95-98.

Have you thought about one of those mats for the bottom of a truck. They are about 4 X 8 and fairly heavy but make a good protector when carrying big things. Some people here have bought carpeting that the Home Depot type stores sell and cut them to fit. they like them as they can get them that match closely the color of the carpet in the van. Just a couple of suggestions to make your decision harder.
#53 of 902 I was wondering?? by hpare Jul 16, 2001 (6:30 pm)
Pardon my ignorance...but what are wheel locks and why would one need them? I am trying to decide what accessories I want to puchase.
#54 of 902 re:hpare by bjk2001 Jul 16, 2001 (8:26 pm)
Wheel lock is a special wheel lug you have to use special key to install or remove the lug. Typical each wheel lock set comes with 4 special wheel lugs and a key. You will replace 1 out of 5 Odyssey wheel lugs of each wheel with one of the specialy ones. The purpose of the wheel lock is to prevent someone stealing your wheel when you park you car. Especially if you have alloy wheels or any kind of wheels.   PS 1. There is also a web site for Odyssey only www.odyclub.com there are some accessories photo from member. PS 2. I have a '01 GG EX with wheel lock, splash guard, cargo tray, ordered weathertech mats, ordered leather steerling wheel cover, lojack, looking to get weathertech cargo mats.
#55 of 902 Weathertech Mats & Steerling Wheel Cover by bjk2001 Jul 23, 2001 (10:10 pm)
Got my gray weathertech mats for all 3 rows. They matched my fern interior. Have to trimmed of 3 lines of each side for 3rd row. I then used duck tape to tape trimmed off portion together use as runner to cover area between 2nd and 3rd row seats.   Also installed Honda's leather steerling wheel cover. I should have gotten wheelskin's instead of Honda's. Wheelskin has two color looks better.   My next project is to get Pioneer TS-A1655 speakers to replace my Ex's front speakers.
#56 of 902 Rear Amber Tail light installments by 99Od Jan 24, 2002 (6:39 am)
Ever since I bought my 2000 Odyssey, I've wanted the amber tail light that is on the "rest-of-the world's" Odysseys (JDM,CAD,etc). Since only the outer tail light is the actual signal, and the 2002 parts are finally available,I bought them. FYI: for those interested in this. The unit is a perfect match for all existing '99-'01 Odysseys. Plug and fit are all the same. (like daaah, they've been making this unit since pre'99). Purchase info: My dealer wanted $63 per side. I went through www.hparts.com and pd. only $46.86 per side and $12 s&h. Part Numbers: Right side: #612355 Left side #612356   Installation: Take off 2 screws from existing unit; pull back STRAIGHT (you might have to give it a good yank),the front of the unit is attached by a barb/plug do not twist! Insert new unit assemble bulbs in appropiate slots, screw back in, viola, now everybody can see your turn signals! It took me about 15 min to do both sides.
#57 of 902 Paint/nosemasks/and other dealer rip offs. by 99Od Jan 24, 2002 (7:01 am)
I see a lot of notes here on "I think I gotta get" items for their Odysseys. First off. I've been a Honda owner since '85. I had a black '88 Accord, that when I traded it in, people couldn't believe how good it looked versas the mileage. (185K, after 11yrs) I did not buy "paint protection/interior protection" I got 1 can of Scotch Guard that I applied about every 2-3 yrs, and waxed using Meguiers paste wax all it's life. I was stupid in buying an undercoat offered by the dealer, which in later years actually increased rust around the rear wheel wells, my father had a '86 Accord which didn't have it and it was in better shape. Nose masks: I bought one for my Accord, only had it on during the summer months, unfortunately you have to take it off in rain, it NEVER took off paint or ruined the clearcoat. I bought my 2000 Ody. LX with nothing on it. I got free mats with the purchase so I didn't turn that down, added some better sound,tires, and just going to drive it into the ground. So if you are a longterm car owner of 10+years, buying all these hundreds of dollars worth of items doesn't pay off in trade in or longivity. Hondas run great up to ~120-130K then little things need attention (boots,some electrical stuff) after 150K the bigger items need replacing, so if you are looking at owning the Odyssey up to that time/mileage this is what the I have seen in my ownership of Hondas.

Nice post, but I don't agree on buying stripped down when keeping van for 10+ years. The extra 2K over 10 years is $200. To me the added items like power seat, auto air, wheels, power doors would be worth it. But to each his own.
#59 of 902 Navigation System by cassaf Mar 21, 2002 (11:05 am)
I'm considering an Odyssey with navigation system but I'm having trouble getting information....and certainly can't see one on a lot....   ANy suggestions?
#60 of 902 Navigation System by cassaf by dmathews3 Mar 21, 2002 (12:18 pm)
Why not have the dealer order a owners manual for the nav unit and if you buy a van from him he subtracts the price off the order. Either way I wouldn't think it would cost that much. You could even suggest that he keep it after you read it and have it availible for other customers. Or he could even order one and tell Honda it didn't have one on the last order.
