# Honda CR-V: Complete Protection, Accessories & Genuine Parts Guide
*Global SUV. Hybrid Efficiency. Timeless Reliability.*
The Honda CR-V has been a benchmark in the premium SUV segment for decades—renowned for its spacious interior, bulletproof reliability, and now, class-leading hybrid efficiency. As a model that has been discontinued in India (since 2021), preserving your CR-V is more critical than ever to maintain its value and iconic road presence .
At **Protint**, we offer a complete ecosystem of preservation for your CR-V—from Paint Protection Film (PPF) that shields the large body panels from stone chips, to sourcing genuine OEM parts and installing premium accessories like WeatherTech floor liners. We ensure your CR-V remains a joy to drive for years to come.

### Model Generation Compatibility Guide
The 5th and 6th generation CR-Vs share several parts, but body panels are NOT interchangeable. Interiors are similar; floor mats for the 5th gen will NOT fit the 6th gen.
## Why Protect Your Honda CR-V?
The CR-V is a prized asset, and a well-protected example will hold its value significantly better over the years. Given its large ground clearance and family-oriented design, it is particularly vulnerable to road debris.
| Cost Category | Discontinued Model (5th Gen India) | Current Model (6th Gen US/Global) |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Ex-showroom Price** | ~₹21.10 Lakh | ~$30, 000 (US MSRP) |
| **Front Bumper Replacement** | ₹15, 509 + ₹4, 342 GST = **₹19, 851** | ~$500 - $1, 000 (est.) |
| **Front Windshield** | ₹53, 294 + ₹14, 922 GST = **₹68, 216** | ~$750 - $1, 200 (est.) |
| **Headlight (LED Unit)** | ₹16, 762 + ₹4, 693 GST = **₹21, 455** | ~$1, 500+ each |
*Given the high cost of spares for the discontinued India CR-V, protecting the original paint and body panels is a financially sound decision.*
## Our Bespoke Protection Services
### 1. Paint Protection Film (PPF) – Your CR-V's Invisible Armor
The CR-V’s large, flat body panels and prominent front grille are stone-chip magnets on highways. PPF is a self-healing polyurethane layer that physically absorbs impacts from road debris before they reach your paint .
**Key Benefits of PPF for CR-V:**
| Benefit | What It Means for Your CR-V |
|:---|:---|
| **Stone Chip Defense** | Shields the prominent front grille, bonnet edge, and mirror caps |
| **Self-Healing Technology** | Minor scratches and swirl marks vanish with heat exposure |
| **UV Protection** | Preserves the deep gloss of colours like Radiant Red, keeping them from fading |
| **Hydrophobic Top Coat** | Water, mud, and road grime slide off effortlessly, reducing wash frequency |
**CR-V‑Specific PPF Coverage Areas:**
| Coverage Zone | Why It's Critical |
|:---|:---|
| **Full Front (Bumper, Grille, Hood, Headlights)** | High-impact zone for stone chips on highways |
| **A-Pillars & Roof Line** | Exposed to debris at highway speeds |
| **Door Sills & Handle Cups** | High-wear zones from daily family entry/exit |
| **Boot Loading Area (Large Cargo Space)** | Protects the rear bumper from luggage scratches |
**Premium PPF Brands:** XPEL Ultimate Plus (Gloss), STEK DYNOshield, 3M Scotchgard Pro.
**Installation Timeline:** 2-4 days depending on coverage.
**PPF Warranty:** 5-10 years depending on brand selection.
### 2. 9H Ceramic Coating – The 'Showroom Gloss' Enhancer
For owners who want that deep, wet showroom look without the investment of full PPF, ceramic coating is perfect. It is essential for the CR-V’s large, flat body panels.
- **9H Hardness:** Sacrificial layer against swirl marks from improper washing.
- **Hydrophobic Effect:** Water, road grime, and mud bead off—washing becomes much easier.
- **UV Protection:** Prevents clear coat fading, especially crucial for dark colors like Cosmic Blue.
- **Ease of Cleaning:** Dirt doesn't stick as aggressively, preserving that clean look longer.
**Ceramic Coating Brands:** Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra, GYEON Q2 MOHS EVO.
### 3. Legal Sun Control & Window Films
**Stay Legal, Stay Cool:** Aftermarket dark sun films are banned in India. For imported/older models, we strictly use RTO-compliant nano-ceramic films adhering to **70% VLT for windshields and 50% VLT for side windows**.
| Solution | Legality | Best For |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Premium Nano-Ceramic Film** | Legal (70/50 VLT) | Maximum heat rejection without dark tint |
| **CR-V OEM Sunshades** | Legal - Parked | Designed for the large CR-V greenhouse |
