I love Bosch wipers, personally. After reviewing the instructions for OEM replacement it seemed like a giant PITA, so I will probably go with Bosch on this vehicle, too.

It's gotta be Bosch Icon. I've used a lot of different wiper brands over the years, but these are by far the best.
Yes, they're pricey, but you'll be replacing them less often.
I use Bosch Icon's on all my vehicles. Have for years and really like them
The CRVs I have are a 2010 with 210k miles. AC compressor every 100k miles and an alternator at 200. Brakes at 100k and 160k and 210k, the OEM brakes are amazing. Spark plugs at 100k and 200k and both times still looked new. Still drives amazing and is solid it's better than my 2017 CRV.
The timing belt is mandatory if you want to keep driving with any confidence. Do the tensioner and water pump too. Transmission fluid, yes. The old Honda ATs are very fussy about old or dirty ATF. A new acc belt while you're in there is a no brainer and the fluids of the rear differential and transfer case are important. Do those and the transmission on a 30K mile schedule.
The valves are supposed to be checked for clearance at 105K miles. If there's no noise you could probably hold off for a while but I wouldn't go beyond 150K. Use OEM quality only for the timing belt parts and spark plugs. Specifiy or supply the Aisin TKH002 timing belt kit and use either Denso or NKG Laser-Iridium plugs. Definitely disable the VCM. It's maybe the best $150 you can spend on a Gen 2 Pilot. Also inspect for the spool valve leak. It can leak oil on older Pilots which drips directly on the alternator shortening its life.
If they’re running Bosch Aerotwins, they care about their car. If they’re running shitty no-names and the wiper blades are worn out, they probably don’t care about more important maintenance.
Headlight throw is low. I recently learnt that you can adjust the throw angle by turning the screw on the side of the headlight.
Good luck in this, had a 2018 Accord and had a "cheaper" windshield installed and it never calibrated/worked correctly. went and got the factory 3x the price and calibrated and all is good.
Cb350rs. Poor headlight.
