The Pearl is ready to sail

Kinda still a newbie here..
But my office is just like any of the other cars I drive.. I got my 06 used off the honda of santa maria lot. sale price 23.000.00 black stock except for the elce sun/moon roof, nothing else..26,000 miles... both keys and manual..The first picture I had when I see a new/different car..and was what I saw with DaPearl ,it is what I stay with till its finished.. never sidestep the plan..nor do something cause someone else say's Hey this will look good..or you should do this..if your a tweeker.. you'll never be happy.. this is the way I saw my 2006 rl..s/r as ,when I saw it on the lot a month an a half ago. these mods that is.. not the stock ridgeline.. maybe it will help someone else find a deal, or complete your picture.. cheers.

Look as though you tricked out your ride as you envisioned it. Ebay can be a great source for aftermarket accessories. Is that really a RETRAX cover? I have one, but your picture looks like a soft top folding cover. I did beg off on the sheepskin seat cover and dash mat, though. Look forward to the other comments from forum members.

opps..

HONDA RIDGELINE Torza Top, TRI-FOLD COVER tonneau tonno

Sheepskin cover.. costco about 49.00 bucks.. never had side airbag, asked alot of people and no one could give an true answer..what happens when/if it goes off? never had one before on any of my cars/trucks. guess we'll have to find out.. hope not..
Seats seem to be a problem of stains for what I've read. the sheeps are kool n summer.. warm n winter. plus I chow down a few meals while covering ground, plus slide in and out of truck makes from extra wear.. and my back feels better (left lower hip n leg..anyone else with this problem, come over from a F250 TD 7.3 double cab w/lumbar and i never have my wallet in my right hip when driving anything..getting aged is a bear.. not older just more miles...

Dashcover. alot of driving, helps stop alot of dust..but also alot of sun reflex...not tabs down yet.. waiting for it to lay down..
24.95 & 9.00 to ship. seatcoverconnections( 26049) ebay

Only thing I'm waiting on

Rear window decal.. then she's fully dialed in..

A nice ROC sticker in the rear window does place the finishing touch on a job well done! Looks great Dakool1!

How did you get that tonneau cover so cheap. i want it at that price.

149.00 Buy it now, plus 39.00 to ship.. still a great deal if ya ask me, you love it

the way I read your original post you state you got the prodigy for $312.00

holy moly. your right as rain.. sorry, you folks will see, I'm not smart, but can lift heavy things, you are correct my good man, 312. is what I posted. it was 113.00 shipped, but either deal is a good deal , yours or mine... a customer of mine has a rental shop and his long deal to me was 135.00 plus ups.. sorry for confusion.. thanks for correcting my mistake..:)

and on the cover.. man i gotta slow down, I kept losing pictures trying to post, and paste the right folks and prices..sorry.. I messed up on the bed cover.. it is 350.00 which is what I paid.. (I think it was 339.00) but it is 349.00 plus shipping, and 150 or 350. I'm happy with it, and the value is top notch, hard hard covers on last three trucks.. but your hand cuffed if you need to remove of r the room, and are on your way home from any where..(and only one person) sorry for my ignorance, and terrible gramar mistakes..

You be gettin' that bomb ass cryptonite cali style huh?

people in cali know how i roll.. right that.

http://www.crutchfield.com/S-74qhjKAhlaL/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?I=136ZR650CS you should buy these speakers they sound really good in the ridgeline...:D

sweet.. thanks.. inside tone's don't bother me much.. but my garage.. thats a different story.

I do alot of work in my garage, I have a few vintage VW's regular...and movie cars.. yea.. I like black too..not just white. Couple of my other cars.. Herbie from monte carlo movie, and horace from the 97 disney tv movie.. the love bug.

Man it says 350 for it.

Yeah, I was about to overlook all perceived shortcomings with a tonneau cover for the truck for a $149 pricetag. But at $350, they are all things that I need to consider more carefully. Funny how $200.00 makes that kind of difference.

again, sorry. it took forever to try and post the photo's because of the 4 photo rules, had the pasted, then lost them, and the paste had {img" in them and that was stopping them, and getting the sellers names from ebay.. so sorry folks wanted to show the pearl off, but wanted to point people in the right direction also, if it could help them find what they were looking for and a desent price.. Dave

Can you send me the part number for that surface mount switch you have? I've been looking for a switch like that for quite some time. PIAA makes one, but it comes as part of an expensive kit.

I could not find the card/package it came on, but I got it at auto zone now I remember, but it was more like 6 to 7 bucks. I had three, but had since used on different projects.. but it's made by pilot...sorry. hope that helps.
(simple three wire..gound, acc, relay)

found it, now ya have something to go on..cheers

Got more info on that $99 eBay bull bar? Vendor? Now that you have it installed, how's the quality/fit?

Thanks!

found it, now ya have something to go on..cheers



YAY!!!!!!!


Thanks ever so much. My search is over. Time to order a half dozen of these puppies.

glad I could help, and the lights come in different too..
The bull bar was from a guy on ebay, I think he got or had the wrong one, but you can find them for around 149.00 plus econo shipping. I do like it, I've had these type/style on both my wifes and my 98 & 99 Cv, mu ford ranger, my f250 and my frontier, and of a couple of those, I just got new mounting bracks, and kept the same old bar.. easy to install. and yes, I think its great, but then again, I didn't buy it to save my life, its just la traffic etc, if you tap some thing, they will stay under ya.. less damage to you/yours

these replace your amber turn signal bulbs up front..

ps. stanley park really was torn up with the winds last year eh? sad, but nature doesn't mess around.. cheers

Yes, Stanley Park will never be the same again. At least not for a long, long time. I grew up near Main and Hastings. Lived in Vancouver most of my life. Good to hear from an old Vancouverite.
