My neighbor had this loaded CR-V sitting around for a while and I asked him what he was going to do with it once he bought a newer subaru. He said he was going to sell it to a junkyard so I offered him $200 for it. He took the offer. and I went down to my new CR-V.
All four tires were flat, super dirty and I was told the harmonic balancer needed to be replaced which is why the car sat.
So ofcourse the very first mods I do is to get Coil-overs and wheel hub adapters to slam the CR-V on my Winter Tires from my Bolt-EV. You know for safety to reduce a chance of a roll overs and defentally not becouse it looks so much cooler lowered,
I then replaced the Bad harmonic balancer with a new one and took it for a test drive. Predictibly it scrapped and rubbed pretty bad. I lifted it just enough to get an "OEM+" kinda feel, a similar stance to my stock '17 bolt ev.
I really dig how it looks but it still scraped a bunch.
I bought some new tires for the OEM wheels and running that currently. It thankfully no longer scrapes which according to my wife is way more important than it looking cool.
The Interior is is all grey/black, Has leather seats, Sunroof and has tons of options. I was surprised by my lack of interior photos and will take some more later this weekend.

Once I got this running and it became the Daily driver for wife, Her loaded EX Sedan was given to my dad as a back up car.
