Actually gutter guard about $4 at lowes for abot 12' and used heavy duty outdoor valcor strips $5 so they can be removed and cut or change. Driven 200 mile with them on the test will be in rain. I have a spool of wire that I can put through to strengthen. Also was going to try a lower bumper guard.

Used the yellow film from a guy on this site. $7 to cover my fogs. 17k miles later, tons of rock chips on my bumper and hood, 0 issues with my fogs and BOY are they yellow. Honda uses glass fogs, so some kind of protection is advised. $7 to protect $300... Pretty good deal imo

so i took my car in today to get the blower motor and resistor replaced and while i was there i asked about my fog light (it's cracked and has moisture in it). how much?
"$361 with labor. $267 for the lamp and the rest was labor. and oh, btw, your other one is cracked as well."
okay well i don't have that so i guess i won't get them fixed -- i don't use them anyhow.
"nope. your car won't pass inspection."

i wish i had seen this topic before on the forum so i could have protected my lights against this.

has anyone thought to write to honda america and complain about this since it seems like a common thing. i have a 2011 -- this thread was started in what 2008 or 2009 -- another on-going issue. is this how honda makes their money after the sale???

like someone else said, i bought a new car so i wouldn't have to deal with this kind of stuff for a while. already i've had to buy TWO tires, the blower motor was replaced today under a goodwill repair so i didn't have to pay for it -- but if they put in the same ampage motor as what they took out, will i be back again after awhile for another exchange (at my cost this time??).

i have loved the four other hondas i had, and i really liked this car, but now i'm beginning to wonder if i made the right choice ....

Order an overlay from headlight armor, clean off the fog lights, turn it on till all the moisture has evaporated, and then put on the overlay.
