Jaiden's Ridge
Hello everyone. I've never been one to leave things stock. For either performance gains or just to change the look, I have always made modifications to my vehicles.
When I was considering purchasing a Ridgeline, I was still quite attached to my '99 Integra GSR. I had received several awards for it, and we make regular trips to the largest auto show in the country, NOPI Nationals in Atlanta. But my wife Misty quickly pointed out "You can still do stuff to the truck!" So here it is. I have set up this post to chronicle the changes to my Ridge. Changes won't necessarily be major, quick nor regular. (It's that money & time thing). I've seen some Ridge's that have more done to them that I have at this point. But this gives me a central repository to document the changes. And hopefully some of you will be interested to follow the transformation. So enjoy. Thanks. -------- This first picture was taken 5 days after I picked up my Ridge. We took it down to the NOPI show in Atlanta. Notice, less that a week old and I've already changed something! You can see the wire harness along the firewall. I purchased some blue tubing, stripped off the OEM black cover on site and replaced it with the blue. This is the closest thing I have to a stock photo.

Re: Jaiden's Ridge
Soon after the NOPI show, I added the roof rack. We like to camp and with everything else like tents, cooler, chairs, etc, the rack provided the best option for hauling the mountain bikes.

Re: Jaiden's Ridge
Oops. I already got things out of order. DOH!
 Before the roof rack, I had actually added the rear seat storage system. As you can see, it's very handy.

Re: Jaiden's Ridge
A few weeks ago I added the fog lights. It was pretty easy. Since there are posts giving step by step directions for certan modifications, I won't give you the steps, just the results. The only difficult part was cutting into the bumper. It 'hurt', not that it was really hard to do.
While I had the bumper off, I also added the billet grilles. I originally only added the three bottom ones due to time and the fact that the guy had shorted me some screws which I didn't discover until I was half way through it! The main grille was added just this week. I was able to disassemble the maiin grille, remove the silver 'tv antennas' and mount the billet one right over the remaining base.

Re: Jaiden's Ridge
Darn it! So much for chronological order! I forgot the most important mod. My banner, courtesy of LadyRidge! I added that right after the ROC and the Rock.

Re: Jaiden's Ridge
Very sharp, Jaiden... might be a candidate for "Ridge of the Month" - a new feature we will be launching on the ROC very, very soon.
