And she wants the clear plastic strips that attach behind the door handles to protect from scratches.


Honda wants $90 for the strips and $600 labor to put them on..$690 total.

2 years ago she paid $240 total to do the same thing on her 2024...

Is this the normal price now? Seems insane...i thought $240 was stupid high..

Are you not capable of attaching what is essentially a sticker?

Bro, put your purse down for a second and just stick them on the door yourself.

We are a long way from a recession

Todays American male’s lack of ability to take care of his own domain astonishes me.

Find a place that does window tint or wraps to do it.

Think most dealerships are around $180/hour for labor now.

In the future, Chrome will have something called AI. You click on it and enter the question where can i find clear edge door protectors for a 2025 Honda CRV. It is predicted that it will give you places and prices for the item inquired about.

You might as well throw in some pics of the car as well.

You need to remind her that she is driving a Honda CR-V and not a Bentley

There's probably a YouTube video or 20 that shows how to do it yourself. Just get the part.

If she flirts with the salesman they might come down on the price

Do it yourself unless you want to get Jody’d by the Honda service shop worker

Your wife will never respect you again and look at you like a cuck if you pay another man $600 to install a plastic sticker

That’s like 9 hours of labor. I’m sure you can buy that online and watch a YouTube video and save $600. Then your wife will claim she has $600 for a new purse.

Did she make money on this deal?

If not, why should losing another 690 bother her?
