that I should have used the word "wise" in place of the implication that it was "intelligence" I was talking about. I'm truly sorry for the confusion. Many very intelligent people were caught in the "dot-com" excitement and it proved unwise. Few, I think, would consider it wise to pay full-price for a raft of dealer options ($about $9000 worth) and then have to worry about the cost of gas. Would you? I did not mean to make you or anyone else feel inferior. So don't! |

| So how's the weather today folks? It's snowy here in MA and they said the worst is yet to come? The Pilot handling isn't bad. Probably will be better if it had other tires than these GoodYears. | |

50 degrees (Fahrenheit) feeling like 47 (Hey, it's Texas and its supposed to be HOT!). No precip nor much hope of any. It's considerably chillier here in the forum though! |

| Has anyone installed running boards or step ups themselves. These can be ordered so much cheaper from online accessory dealers rather than from the dealer. I had the dealer install fog lights for about $500 - ouch! I really want a step up for my kids - any helpful hints? My Pilot will be here in 2 weeks! | |

No, I havent installed them myself as I was able to negotiate an installed price equal to the prices at handa-accessories.com for the running boards and other accessories from the dealer. I posted those installed options somewhere in this forum. The only thing I would have done differently is ordered the chrome ones for I think $450.00 vs the $418.00 I paid for the black running boards. Just because our Pilot is black. The chrome ones were something I didn't think of and would have jazzed up the look nicely. So just in case you didnt think of it! Because now I kind of regret it! The web site includes installation instructions. It actually looks pretty easy for the running board installation. I think that you might need to buy or borrow from a buddy that torque wrench, though. But it looks like the holes are pre-drilled, which is the most important thing. Because then no template and judgment about where to mount them exactly. Check out the installation instructions and have a look for yourself. |

| I want a DVD player in a 2004 Honda Pilot LX. (I really don't want to pay $5,000 for the EX Leather Entertainment package just to get a DVD player for the kids). Any experiences or suggestions? | |

We alos owhn a Honda van - LX model. Still like it but I'm liking the climate control, CD, etc you get with an EX. I'm hoping it will have better resale value too. No leather or nav. |

| I already own a Garmin navigation system ($750) and have a 'Fun TV' from Target ($125). Works for me. | |

A good shop can add a sunroof - and probably make your SUV two feet longer. Really it's just a car. However, I wouldn't be surprised if a leaking sunroof was defered to the shop that installed it. BTW I couldnt' get a dealer to put heated seats in my Honda van. (They would 'force' almost every other option on me, but no sears). Finally did it myself from a 'good' shop for $250. Still working 3 years later. |

Thank to all for the tip on exhaust tips. I just ordered some. I just picked up my Honda pilot over the weekend and noticed that my seven year old daughter has a bit of trouble getting into the vehicle. For those of you that have side steps or running boards are they actually helpful? Which do you prefer (sidesteps or running boards). They also seem very expensive. Aren't they just plastic. I would imagine they don't have much resale value. Is it safe for a 270 lb person to step on them, or would they break off. Any input would be appreciated. |
