#305 of 1069 Front Bumper Cover by krish Mar 24, 2004 (10:32 am)
I need to replace my front bumper cover for my 2000 CRV. Dealer asks US$210+tax+labor. I found in few sites for $82+S&H (S&H is around $80). How reliable are these sites ? Is is easy to replace by ourself ? Can anyone share their experience ?
#306 of 1069 Good idea by icvci Mar 24, 2004 (11:15 am)
If you are interested in working on your CR-V buy a Helm manual. They are very detailed and will tell you how to do everything.   I bought one for my 90 CRX Si and used it to replace the upper end gaskets. They are a really neat thing to have.   http://www.helminc.com/helm/product2.asp?class%5F2=AHM&mk=Hon- da&yr=2003&md=CR%2DV&dt=Shop%2FService+Information&am- p;module=&from=result&Style=&Sku=61S9A02&itemtype- =N&mscsid=QKCBV7V9M1A68GBE2LB7TT7M8W06BAJ8
#308 of 1069 Speaker Replacement by johnnypolo Mar 28, 2004 (7:41 am)
I just purchased an 03' EX CRV and knew I would want to replace the stock speakers. Has anyone had experience with this. It does'nt appear that the grills just pop off. I looks like the entire door panel has to come off, which I hope isn't the case.   Other points:   Would it be redundant to put in 3 ways in the doors since the tweeters are mounted on the dash. I don't want to hassle with upgrading the tweeters with the location so high up on the dash.   Does the stock changer unit put out enough watts to drive better speakers or will I end up needing to put an amp in also.   thanks for any help
#309 of 1069 aftermarket seats? by cybernut04 Mar 29, 2004 (5:21 am)
We bought an '04 CRV EX a month ago - my wife loves it, and I am growing to hate it, because of the front seats. There have been some posts to this forum that make me think I'm not the only one who feels pain (I'm not "uncomfortable", but feel real pain) within a few minutes of sitting in the front of the CRV - driver and passenger seats feel the same.   What's the real story behind aftermarket seats for an '04 CRV? I'm not looking for something that looks better - they *look* just fine - nor am I necessarily looking for a better quality material - the cloth is fine for me. What I AM looking for is something I can sit in.   I've gone to a couple of stores locally (northern VA) and tried many lumbar-support pillows and cushions and nothing has worked. We bought the CRV with every intention of keeping it for many years, so if I need to invest some more money into it so I can sit in it, I'll do so.   The most recent post on this topic was sent by vneck on 2/17/04, and included: "I was told by the dealership that seats are not replaceable due to federal safety laws. Any suggestions on how to modify or replace these seats for comfort?"   Any and all feedback would be appreciated! Thanks. Replies to this message: zsigmond (Jan 23, 2005 12:24 pm)

I know of one owner who replaced the seats with the ones from an RSX. But you can bet that any modification like that won't pass the standards of federal law. In the event of a crash, you'll open yourself up to lawsuits from anyone who rides in the passenger seat.
#311 of 1069 re: aftermarket seats? by cybernut04 Mar 29, 2004 (10:38 am)
Varmint, many thanks for your reply. I haven't given up on trying to find a less radical solution to my problem (cushions and pillows aren't the answer, but maybe full seat inserts - like the SacroEase - will work), but I also wanted to explore the possibility of replacing the seats themselves.   I've tried to find any federal regulation governing the replacement of cat seats. I went to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards no. 207 on seating systems (FMVSS 207, revised Oct. 1, 2003) and while it gives very specific performance requirements, it doesn't say anything (at least, as far as I could tell) about the seats needing to be original equipment, or installed by the car manufacturer.   I wouldn't be looking to do this myself, but have the seats professionally installed, either by a Honda dealer or a car customizer, and have the seats come up to the same safety standards as the original seats.   Of course, the CRV is *very* safe now ... sitting in the garage!
#312 of 1069 Probably not a dealer by stevedebi Mar 29, 2004 (11:48 am)
They won't touch stuff that isn't Honda OEM to the CR-V, for warranty and liability reasons.
#313 of 1069 Executive Honda, CT by kizhe Apr 01, 2004 (11:16 am)
Executive Honda in Wallingford ,CT is selling "Honda" motor oil 5W-20 for $4.52 per quart. I think this is a pure and simple RIP-OFF! What do you think?
#314 of 1069 kizhe by icvci Apr 01, 2004 (11:40 am)
Why would you even think about buying Honda branded oil? A fool and his money are soon parted.
