#237 of 1069 bike rack for 2001 crv by barnone Dec 03, 2003 (7:41 pm)
I have a bike rack attached to the spare tire attachment. it has carried 2x cheap heavy mountain bikes for a couple of camping trips and a thousand mile trip.   the spare tire still holds up =)
#238 of 1069 Spare Tire Cover by dondada Dec 15, 2003 (7:48 am)
Hi all, I'm trying to locate the body colored hard spare tire cover. Would really appreciate if I could be pointed in the right direction. Thanx.

Dondada - There are a number of places where you can order the OEM body-colored tire cover. Last time I checked, they ran about $300. Just make sure you find the correct color (not all silvers are the same, for example). Also, it doesn't matter what the year is. All CR-Vs have the same size tires.   My suggestion would be to do it yourself. You can buy an OEM plain grey hard spare tire cover for about $160 and paint it yourself. Paint and primer will cost you about $30-40. That's how I did mine.
#241 of 1069 correction on prices by varmint Dec 16, 2003 (10:50 am)
Here's a site that lists both (no endorsement, though I have been pleased with this vendor). I'm sure you can find other sites.   http://handaaccessories.com/crvext02.html   body-colored = $391 plan grey = $94

Will definitely look into it
#243 of 1069 Dealer accessories by desertman Dec 24, 2003 (9:59 am)
Hi all,   I finally test drove a CR-V at Showcase Honda in Phoenix. This dealer pre-installs an accessory package on all CR-Vs in its inventory, adding about $1000 to the price.   The package includes color-coded tire pressure monitoring caps, pinstriping, a security system (must be an alarm or something since the CR-V already has the ignition disabler standard), door guards, and some sort of paint coating or polish that they called Auto Mate. Does anyone know what this is? I can't find it anywhere on the web.

Just tell the dealer you want none of it and walk. He will drop it real quick.   The whole package cost the dealer maybe $30 ,I assume the added "alarm" is nothing more than a little horn.
#245 of 1069 Don't fall for it by stevedebi Dec 26, 2003 (10:28 am)
I have to disagree, the items listed probably cost the dealer at least $250. However, you should insist on not having them installed. If the dealer disagrees (says they can't be uninstalled), then request that they reserve the next CR-V that comes in for you, without any modifications. That is what I did with my CR-V.
#246 of 1069 by varmint Dec 26, 2003 (11:26 am)
Ditto that. Just ask that your vehicle not have those items installed. They may try to convince you otherwise, but a firm "no thank you", should be all that is required.   I have no problem with the dealer adding aftermarket items to their inventory, but if they refuse to sell without that stuff, walk away. A dealer who forces stuff like that onto a customer is gouging. If they are willing to resort to those tactics, then I wouldn't trust them with my business. Who knows what else they'll do?
