was raining this am and already tried the visors. fantastic. hahaha. im really liking them. no leaks nothing, which is good.

the instructions say not to wash the car for 24hrs... i guess i could've put some masking tape over the adhesive area but it did dry over night so i am assuming it is okay. it's going to be dry the next couple of days so i will press it down again once fully dry.

also my factory knob and sills, etc arrived. will install probably tomorrow morning while i wait for my swifts to come in. wheels are on the truck today to be delivered as well.

i hope i can push myself to do more per day cause i am going like 250mph through the day right now. i get up a 6am, and in no time back to bed by 11:30pm.

one week goes by in a flash.
one month goes by in what felt like a week.
one year goes by in what felt like a month.
i can't seem to slow down!!

at least my kids dont slow me down when we're heading out. use to take like 15-30min in preparation. now it's like kid's already got his shoes on waiting at the front door...'dad, are you ready? are we going yet?'

mmmmm... speaking of kids, i have these 2 recaro booster seats in my '12. for some reason it rattles pretty loud in my Fit over bumps. it didn't make any noise in my G and my G's suspension is A LOT firmer. i need to check where the noise is coming from.

i also fixed the glove box door rattle in my '09 a few weeks back. the irony was i removed a factory installed strip of thin felt tape on the glove box door (passenger door side closest to the top) and the rattle went away. weird, huh? anyway, the '09 has been very quiet now while riding.

The new FRS/BRZ wheels remind me of the T-Forks... neither here nor there but I felt like saying!

yah, the BRZ wheels are similar in theme i suppose. i think the t-forks are design wise, better looking. on the BRZ/FRS, i would put 19's on there and slam it. thing will get no rep in my area as roads are 90% straight. it will need to be a dress-up car.

here's some progress this am... ive not received my springs or muffler yet.







my younger kid holding the stock knob. the new knob matches the floormat blue which is nice.



i forgot to take pict of the sills, but those are done too.

i also went ahead and cracked loose the top tower nuts using my ratcheting box wrench with pivoting head. i verified that the shaft did not spin so it will be an easy out.
