Bought a 2015 Pilot from a Midwest Grandma. Flew up and drove it back. She had never even lifted the third row seats. The headphones for the rear seat entertainment were still in the original packaging!

First thing I did was find a set of rims and off-road tires from a Honda Ridgeline. If I remember correctly they’re from a ‘21 Ridgeline that has the same bolt pattern as the ‘15 Pilot. The gray rims matched the gray paint of the Pilot perfectly!

The paint, leather and engine all in great condition, but of course the headlights were fogged / yellowed. I bought black housing headlights and a black gloss grill. The original chrome grill was in good condition, only wanted to update the look. Also updated the Fog Lights, Daytime Running / High Beam and Low Beam bulbs with brighter and whiter LED lighting. Switching to LEDs alone updated the look quite a bit, no more muted / yellow lighting.

Looks nice! Did you get the Grill and headlights from Amazon or was it somewhere else?

I had no idea that aftermarket grills were made to mimic the newer gen vehicles, that's pretty cool.
wheels look good. not a fan of the lamp assembly. maybe it looks better in real life. oh well, make it yours and unique is more than enough reason.
hopefully the LED provide enough light at night and don't blind oncoming traffic.
I think there was a youtube video of a guy who's aftermarket lamps almost burned up his front end.
