Keep us updated on how it sounds and how the dynamat affects road noise, I'm sure there are several more interested parties on here.
One thing to check, if you haven't already, is whether or not your kicker amplifier accepts "speaker level inputs" If it does, you won't need the RCA converter you previously mentioned.
Good luck, and give us a full review when it's done!
Black bumpers.....use a little of that tire gel on them and they stay nice longer...just make sure to rub it in well. Back to black is good too.
This is a great forum for sharing information.
YMMV but don't say I didn't warn you. I have a bottle I got in a gift pack and still refuse to use it.

I did use the armor all car wash for a while, but the Mother's stuff I just bought works much better...better shine and few to no water spots.
This happened to me in 1990, on a 1980 Datsun 210 coupe (rear wheel drive!). Imagine how peeved I was, the dash lasted 10 years and then cracked the very first time I applied what is sold as a "Protectant". Puh-leeez!

Basically thery are not going to do that anymore for the cr-v, and the next shipment in august will go for sticker price. Salesguy said something about honda being mad at them for selling them so low , and the local population not being able to get any crv-s.
For everyones info.
Ssoto - Why pony up for the Pilot? I gotta wonder why you bought a CR-V if what you needed is a fairly large midsize.
To answer your question.. you will take a serious loss trading in the CR-V for any new vehicle. However, with CR-Vs going at MSRP, you might find a private buyer who is willing to pay for yours rather than wait for a dealer.

Any of you have a problem with the back window being hard to close? I need to push down to the right of the black handle for the window to close. If i use the handle, it does not lock down.
For black bumper and plastic sill trim I use regular spray on tire polish/shine etc. It attracts some dust over time but not too much.
Phandy - I assume you are not in a position where you can buy the CR-V, then sell the van?
to crush the pile of the seat fabric which leaves
a dent.It usually goes away though.When I take my
two grandkids in my CRV I put a towel under
each childseat which protects it.I don't think
the seats are cheap just the nature of the
fabric.
Also, on a note related to some of the above discussion, can anything be done to fix a surface scratch on the top of my 2000 Accord's dash vinyl? It is about 3-4 inches long and is very noticeable. Can anything be applied to smooth it out?

On a related note: I noticed that Volvo advertises a neat child seat feature (or maybe it was Audi). The center portion of rear bench can be slid forward while a baby seat is fixed into place. This allows the front passenger to turn and fuss with the baby, but they don't have to unbelt and reach all the way back to the second row. Is this also possible using the 60% section of the rear bench in a CR-V? I have a friend who is interested. Thanks.

On a personal note, I picked up my 2002 today, and with a whopping 9 km (5 miles) on the odometer, I have not found any problems yet!
Nice to see the usual suspects in the top 3 at JD Power, I guess the Sante Fe snuck in, too.
But Malibu? Hmm, JDP is 90 days, so short-term quality is not the same as long-term reliability. Malibu and Santa Fe do poorly there, and Forester ranked ahead of the RAV4.

That said, you would still have to slide the shoulder belt off the passenger to reach around to the child. I guess a lap belt is better than no belt, but still fairly unsafe. I'm going to try creating the latch layout with text, so if what follows looks like garbage it probably is....=P

This lower left point is the one created by the secondary fastener. Normally this is anchored to the vehicle body directly, but in this case it is anchored to a buckle type latch that is attached to the seat frame.
Hope this cleared up things a bit.
I just purchased a clover green '99 CRV/EX, 5 speed w/sunroof, 58,000 miles for 13,900. It's in very good shape. Is this a decent price, or did I really screw up on my homework? (I live in Indiana, by the way....kind of a mid-line economy state). Your perspectives will be appreciated...
april 8, the dealer told me first 3 to 5 weeks
then about a week ago they said possibly first week in june, so said the gen. manager, i spoke to my salesman today he thinks really 1 more month which will make 3 months . is this normal
for that color and has anyone else had this kind
of experience from honda.

I knew I could probably fix this myself, but this is the only car I've owned that does this - even with 115000 miles on it. Curious if any other new cr-v's are doing this.

Just a heads up to keep an eye out in your mail boxes.

The saddle in the CR-V doesn't look bad, but maybe an interior color such as gray would be nice.
I totally agree Honda needs to hire some better interior designers. They have the building part down pretty good - now to improve on some comfort features!
