I did those as well as the splash guards last weekend. You can take the white sticker off the hood protector now :smile: You can really save some cash by doing these yourself.

Agreed. Dealer wanted $40-50 to install the splash guards. Did it myself in 10 minutes....and the instructions are easy to find for most accessories and available on the Honda Parts/Accessories website.I did those as well as the splash guards last weekend.

One recommendation for those installing the body side molding, it's a lot easier if you use magnets (saw on a video) instead of tape to hold the templates in place. The RL's templates are small but for some other models like the Accord and CRV, the templates are large and magnets make all of the difference to make fine adjustments. With discounts this is what I paid to Bernardi after price matches:
Splash guards front 38.86
Splash guards rear 38.86
Low profile deflector 67.00
Rear seat covers 177.55
side moldings 150.75
shipping 63.86
Total 536.88
Huge savings to be had, my dealer for example wanted 154 to supply and install the air deflector which when I checked the estore was similar to most of the dealers in my area. Heck, they even charge labor to install a floor matt.

Did you notice any extra wind noise after installing the roof rails? This is an upgrade I'm thinking a lot about, but obviously I'm concerned about added noise in the cabin. Thanks in advance.My upgrades so far. Low profile bug degflector and door guards.

FWIW, the *lit* running boards are really nice. They have a soft glow underneath them, on the ground, when you open the car door.

Has anyone done their own install of the lighted running boards? Thought I read on here that it was difficult (the wiring part).
The Youtube video does not appear too difficult. shows simply plugging in to a two prong connector. Routing the harness may be a bit tedious.
The running boards are plug and play, but requires removal of some interior trim panels to access the harness. There is protective tape used to route the harness under the weather strip. Follow the directions and you'll be fine.
Big tip here, if you are considering the lighted running boards AND the "Ridgeline" illuminated door sills, do them at the same time. They both require removal of the same parts and also share the same harness.

News Flash: Bernardi is running "free shipping" this weekend. I just saved about $40 on body side moldings and mud guards. Prices are good on the accessories too!!!
I purchased the accessory grill for my RL Sport. I am on a mission to cover the top chrome portion of the grill with the same carbon fiber vinyl as the lower portion of the grill. I have not had any luck. Does anyone know the manufacturer of the vinyl that covers the bottom portion. My Honda dealer is trying to access that information. Any help from the vast battery of informed dudes that follow this forum would be much appreciated.
Thanks for the heads up on the free shipping at Bernardi ordered from mud flaps, low profile deflector, cargo tray and wheels locks.....$200.00
