#11 of 17 Thanks for the info by pablo9

I went to the Grille Tech site but nothing actualy listed for 08 as shown here...I emailed so we'll see that they can confirm still available. THis is definitely the best looking option I've seen. I've looked at the Honda alternate and though I liked it at first (looks really good on the Ridgeline), I've since come to like the 06 and up horizontal lines.
 
How do these fit over the black vertical grill parts? I noted today these are very close to the front edge of the silver horizontal portion...just curious. And, does the installation seem solid? As in, Am I going to need to worry about these puppies in a couple of years or will they be good for the duration of some long miles?
 
THanks again for the info about the plates (I do have front plate requirements) and the views! Will let you know how it plays out.

Pablo,
 
The installation is pretty solid and it fit nicely, no free plays if you pulled the plastic cable tie in evenly & securely.
 
At the GrilleTech site, the '06 Pilot grille insert fits the '08 model. Ryan, the owner, just slow to update his site data to '08. I knew it because I also emailed and asked.

Grilletech has 06-08 chrome grille insert overlay on the after market grille - that is install on top of the black grille on the Green Pilot photo.

One thing I forgot to mention is ...
 
Easiest to cut the excess end of Plastic cable tie is using 'box cutter', as the razor blade is the fastest tool.

Looks so much better than the original. Are there any aftermarket grilles without the "H"?

Email GrilleTech. If the H is removable, I think Ryan should be able to do one for you, without the hole for the H. Probably it saves them energy to do the cut out space for the H.
