What did you do to your GE fit today?

Since the threads are slow today and I saw this on another forum (Acurazine) and thought it was a good idea I figured it would be interesting to see what people posted here.
Just fill in whatever you done to your fit today. If its a modification, washed it, drove, anything chime in. Could be a fun thread to see peoples progress/activity.

To start things off I made my back emblem match my front emblem today. Sorry I will have to post pics of the back later but here is my front I did a couple days ago to give you an idea.

Before going to school, I put my old hanging punching bag in the passenger seat. My passenger side is like a quarter inch higher than my driver side, but that's because I'm always on the drivers side, so the spring settling is more progressed faster.

I'm hoping my punching bag will help the springs settle. I plan on leaving it there for a good while and only going over speedbumps on the passenger ;P

Nope. Rear is settled because when I changed my rims I left the stock ones in the back for like 2 weeks. settled down to a tight tight one finger tuck. like I have to squiggle my finger just to get it in lol.

Everything is pretty much settled except for the passengers

I thought I was the only one, same here dude for the first month I had shit stacked on the passenger side to try and even it out. Even now the passenger side is about a quarter inch higher than the driver.

My Fit is at the dealer for oil change, fixing the aux input jack of the radio and rattling noise from the dash. I am going to ride my bike to pick up the car after work. I am glad that the bike fits inside the Fit with no problem.

??? I'm a little confused. Who talked about window visor's?

I don't have window visors. But they do make it nice if you live in the hotter regions where it is possible to keep the window cracked with out rain getting in or people seeing that your windows are cracked.

Answer your question?

^^^ Yeah that pretty much answered it.

No one was really talking about it on this thread... but I do see a lot of talk about them on other threads.

I guess I was just wondering why people have such a "jones" for the visors... is it looks or function kinda thing...

thanks!

oh ok....no problem...

I guess it all depends on the person. I see them as a function but some might like the look.

I didn't do anything particular today to mine. But I saw someone on the interstate who smashed his Revolution Orange Fit into the side wall on the bridge. The passenger side of the car was trashed. It looked like he was the only car so he might have just lost control or blew a tire. I feel bad for him.
