I for one am really enjoying this site! Have already posted several items and have gotten some great tips and ideas already.

Here are pics of my '06, that we bought in mid-August:

Cheers!

Nice looking Pilot and mods. What do use (wax, etc.) for keeping your Pilot looking so clean?

Thanks for the compliments! I'm waiting for the billet side steps to come in (hopefully before the weekend!!!)

OK, are you ready for my "secrets"??? Wash it, and quickly take it to a nice setting and snap some pics before it gets a chance to get dirty!!!

Actually, I'm not such a fanatic that I really pay attention to what car wash soap I have. Let's just say I have a gallon of something that I think I bought at Strauss on sale. As far as wax, I use a liquid version of Turtle Wax. I'm sorry to say I'm probably not as diligent as I should be when washing my vehicles, but I do wax a couple of times a year and try to wash them regularly (and I do visit the car wash when it's cold).

Here's what it looked like about a week ago (after a trip to upstate NY to go apple picking). It was kind of dark, but you can see the mud in the wheel well.

Plus the entire nose was encrusted with dead bugs. Oh the carnage!!!

And you can see it pre-billet grill.

I think that, out of all of the mods, the grill is my hands-down favorite one. It really wasn't expensive but it really makes a difference.

Another pre-grill shot (again in twilight so lousy lighting - sorry):

And after:

There is a difference!

The casey customs have a website? I'd like to get more info about the grille. Like the cost and stuff.

Here's a link to the eBay store:
http://motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZcaseyscustomz

Once you get there, you can either got through the listings or enter your vehicle info (see frame on left).

If you have a front plate, make sure you tell them when you pay for the kit and follow up with a call (I think they still publish their number on the listings).

Be prepared to wait a few weeks for your kit as they have told me that their traffic has increased considerably since the pics have been posted here.

As Bluesdog said, this is a great addition for little cost. Very easy to install too.

Good luck!

BTW Bluesdog, Pilot looks great. Glad to hear you were able to "mod" the grill without sending it back. Good work.
