Someone removed (likely stole) the black rubber Honda cover for my OEM hitch receiver. So I ordered a really cool JDM OEM red Honda "H" trailer hitch receiver cover to replace it (plus a receiver lock too:wink.

But while I was at it, I saw this and at $6.95 I couldn't resist:

During the day it is chrome with a very slight red glow when the brakes are applied but at night it looks like this:

and this:

I'm a dad and it doesn't seem to fit. But I like it. I think it's funny >

My wife and two daughters were none too pleased. ( daughters, "daddy what are people gunna think") (wife, "I'm embarrased now to drive the Pilot around").
The JDM cover is sitting in my Pilot "under floor" storage right now.


Thoughts, advice from you marriage and family experts (doods)(or just plain Pilot drivers) on the forum is much appreciated.

I approve. You have the red badge still so its all good. Like the skull specially on a Halloween.

 

[optivity]

I like it too! :grin:

One thing I prefer about Honda's OEM hitch receiver (w/rubber cap) & harness is the nearly seamless integration with the tail section of the Pilot.

IMO their towing accessory fits/looks better than most other current nameplates on the road.

And yeah, I'm still waiting for someone to steal my receiver end cap cover too.

Awesome!

Mine was just stolen yesterday at Home Depot. I will be replacing with the OEM black one.

I also think you should keep your wife happy.

And by that I meant to get her a matching skull ring for her finger. Women are all about matching.

That or get one in the Gucci, Louis Vuitton, or any other designer logo. That'll work

Bit didnt u have to use an adapter for the plug?

 

[Z_Pilot_Driver]

@anchor3n1 I think it looks cool, dude, especially at night. I dig it.

However, whether it is appropriate is a different question.
IMO, it it NOT too inappropriate in the following two scenarios:
- You are a under 40 and have no kids.
- You are the father of two young boys and they love it.

Ultimately, you should do whatever makes you happy.
However, I would advise that you take it off when you are visiting the wife's friends and family.

Now I'm disappointed. On mine only the eyes light up.
I got a replacement end for mine so it fits better (using the adapter made it stick out too far).

Tell your wife I've gotten a few random compliments on mine - people think it's a nice little touch.

Ignore the wife. Be a rebel.

No, it plugs directly to the towing harness plug - no adapter is needed (I have the e-trailer wiring harness not the Honda OEM one. I don't ever plan on hauling anything that requires brake control just light weight type trailers)

How did that turn out for James Dean?

Thanks Optavity you R showing real class!!!!!
Ya the dood is chrome - I thot it would add to the bling factor (the "never too much shinee stuff" principal)

Awesome!

Yay ChillyWnd!!! "Bahnziii!!!!"

I tried your most excellent suggestion - I got a chuckle and then "nope" from my wife.

So you got any other ideas I could try????????

That or get one in the Gucci, Louis Vuitton, or any other designer logo. That'll work

I am appreciative of the professional insight and advice ObsedianX but U R neglecting the fact that it's Japanese. Won't that reflect poorly that I'm trying to hard somehow...????

Thorough counsel Z_Pilot_Driver except I'm lil' bit over 40 and kids, wife, dog and bunnies are female - any other angles U can apply to this situation???????

That helped for a few moments but it didn't seem to stick -uhggg!!!!!

Well my wife and daughters have let it be known that the chrome dood (skull) is not acceptable but so far it still sitting in its same spot. So I'm hoping that they forget its there>:|

How did that turn out for James Dean?

Yup kinda worried:surprise:

 

[ObsidianX]
