Ocean drive is pretty cool. Was in Corpus on my vacation last year.

I have a lot of photos taken in the 1950s and 60s down there... One is of an airplane flying under a bridge.

Got my tags from the dealer so now it doesn't have a temp paper tag on the back anymore. I then removed the dealer badge from the rear using dental floss, and Goo-Gone to get the adhesive off.

Washed and clayed it. Then applied two coats of Meguiar's NXT 2.0 using my D/A polisher. It is real shiny now and protected from the elements.

Thumbs up

I took my car in for its first oil change today (8400 miles) and it was free. The OBC said I had 15% life left, but I said, what the hell, its getting into the summer season and that mean HOT here in the mid-west. The next oil change I'll ride it out to the end but honestly, the oil didn't even look dirty at all in my car. I mean towards the bottom of the stick it was darker, but compared to the Mini I had, this oil looked great.

I also added a Mugen oil fill cap to the car too

I bought a Storm Silver Metallic 2010 Honda Fit sport with Nav.
Trying to figure out what I want to upgrade on it.

kinda new here. (going on 4 mos since being a first time Fit owner) so been doing a few mods. recently got a Mugen style front grille off ebay (cheap!), along with an autobot emblem, and mugen emblem. (miscalculated the mugen emblem size, so there's a slight overlap with the kanji symbols) had to paint and repaint the grille (had a bad accident of mixing colour match auto paint with a clearcoat- resulted in the clearcoat eating thru the paint. meh. prob shoulda waited longer for the colour to settle) eventually got it repainted, badged up. then installed it.. enjoy.

yea - seller "c-mod" sells it. it's fiberglass, painted flat black. no badges, no drill holes. fitment was alright. drilling the holes for the fastener tabs was prob the hardest part. some of the fiberglass tabs are a bit thicker than others so there's about 2 of he fasteners that didn't really clamp down, but my drill holes were snug enough so the fasteners don't go flying around inside. for a while one side never really settled even with 3M tape i applied. drove around like that for a day... then i read somewhere that there are at least 2 fasteners longer than the other 6, i went and took out ALL of em., decided to see if i can align the grille better.. sure enough the side where the fasteners didn't align in properly was the side that had the gap. ended up using those longer fasteners and presto. it fit with no gaps! generally happy with it, there are some slight imperfections still with the upper corners, but with the price i saved vs buying authentic MUGEN, and being able to customize it with my own badging, definetly saved more than half the price, with diy installation!
