I went to get some stuff from behind the rear seat and discovered that a whole brand new gallon jug of Megs Gold Class shampoo had burst and run all over the place.
Thanks to the plastic surfaces, cleanup was a breeze (although my car still smells like soap).  . | |

I think the 05 and newer EX models have as a "feature" real painted side panels. | The '06 EX-P has painted panels (just another trim level).
The '05 EX has much darker plastic panels so they don't look as "grey". Especially on a black one (like mine).
You're right, you do have to drive it and play with the features to appreciate it. It's the most versatile and downright useful vehicle I've ever owned.
I thought they were butt-ugly when I first saw them, but it definitely grows on you, and after you start looking at how utilitarian the thing is, very few people DON'T like them . | |

Ever checked out the mats from Murdoch Industries? I got a bed mat for my Ridgeline from them, though most of their products are for Elements.

Of course if I had, clean up would have been even easier. | |
