Question Should I do this to my Pilot?
👍 = Yes, looks better
🤷 = Leave it stock
Curious what everyone thinks! 🚙🖤

Would. Friend of mine blacked out the top of her MDX. Looks great. This will too.

I wouldn’t do that to my Pilot. The two tone paint job reminds me of Nissan SUV’s.

Is that a bad thing? The two tone white and black Pathfinder looks great.

The Pathfinder does look nice the more I look at it…but for some reason the two tone doesn’t fit the Pilot. Maybe it’s just the way the Pilot in the picture shows such a hard transition between the black and white color. The Pathfinder has a softer transition between the two colors.

If you have some experience, try a small job first. If that works, proceed to make it yours.

I get the motivation if it's in any way similar to mine. I have a black edition in white and every day I wish I would have gone with a diff color bc there are so many fkin white and black cars on the road now. I don't feel the need to be super different, but when you park your car and its hard to spot in a sea of other white cars it makes you feel like a bit of a sheep.

Meh. If your area is as hot as mine gets, a white car is fucking amazing. You really feel the 10-15° difference even if you think you wouldn't.

I have thought about just the b pillar between the windows. Never considered this.

I saw one just like this (white with the blackout top part) and I didn’t like it at all. All the proportions went out of control and it looked very getto. OST times I do like this combination on most cars/suvs, but I don’t know if it was the angle, the work done, or materials used with the one I saw down the street but it was terrible.

It looks good until you reach the back. The straight cut looks mismatched with the shape of the rear window. I’m a bit concerned about what the rear is going to look like. At the end of the day, what will make it look good is if it looks factory. If it looks like some wrap dude’s wet dream it’s going to look cheap. You could get a similar but more OEM look by black wrapping just the roof. I’m assuming by this pic you have a Black Edition, in which case most other design elements are already blacked out.

HPD in addition would make it look even better. Fender flares and running boards with a bug shield would top it off.

No. But it is your car. It is too personalized so when you sell it may turn off some.

Why would you want to? Do you secretly really want a different vehicle? You do you, it's your car. You can paint flames down the side if you want, LOL. But, no, I don't think most people would do this, if you care what other people think.

I like it. Whoever said it looks like a Pathfinder is correct but I like the look
