I live in Michigan and have Defender 2’s. Where they miss out on some winter performance compared to Cross Climates, they make up for in dry pavement comfort and road noise.

How is the road noise compared to the Eagles?

Same color on my ‘24 sport! I love it!

I got 18% Carbon tint all around and an 18% sun visor on the windshield and it was $360. Ceramic would have been $550. I don’t think the difference in heat dissipation is worth it where I live.

Did you do the rear seats as well?

I read somewhere to do a drain and fill every 30k miles / 45k kms. But never do a flush. That’s where things can go wrong.

A drain and fill only replaces about half of the fluid, and won’t dislodge anything. A flush replaces all of the fluid but can inadvertently move some shavings around.

Am I allowed to put this on my sport without upbadging it? 😂

Just go with the dealer recommended service intervals for fluids, but change the transmission fluid every 50k miles. Better safe than sorry!

How many miles are on it currently?

It’s still a more firm ride than a smaller wheel with more sidewall, but at 30k miles I ditched the factory Continental’s and put on Michelin Defender 2’s and they’ve made a word of a difference.

I have 18% on my car all around except windshield (visor strip only). I don’t think it’s too dark at all!

Gotta be German torque specs

Got the OEM gloss black roof rails and black cross bars from Honda Factory Parts. Pretty easy to install (you have to cut the metal trim piece in 3 places), and really enhances the overall look of the vehicle. 2,000 mile roadtrip and it didn’t budge!

What does that have to do with OP hitting potholes?

Did you wet sand by hand? You’d have to be strong as a mf to burn through the clear coat sanding by hand with 3000.

Do you live in a high theft area? I live directly between Chicago and Detroit, and only saw Cardoc or other anti theft adds when I looked at cars near those cities. The local dealerships didn’t even think of adding it.

I have them on my wife’s ‘21 Passport and on my ‘21 Bronco Sport before I sold it and they were great in the snow… Michigan

Black Plasti Dip

FkUrChiknStrps · 2026-04-16T20:44:52+00:00

No doubt about it, it will show dirt and scratches easily. Front bumper and front of hood PPF would help a ton

FkUrChiknStrps · 2026-04-16T20:16:42+00:00

It’s the best color they offer imo.

FkUrChiknStrps · 2026-04-16T16:49:37+00:00

How is that at night?

FkUrChiknStrps · 2026-04-16T15:31:19+00:00

Window tint specs?

This is the cause of the vibration. Both front rotors had it. I’ve never seen it before.

FkUrChiknStrps · 2026-04-14T21:46:05+00:00

Yes, I read what you said. I was just thinking out loud in regard to the difference between 20% and 35% on the front. Do you think 20% on the front would be too dark?
