Looks legit, I would buy Muteki though. These Kics don't have the bottom ring (prevents chipping of paint on wheels)

I know what you mean, the two piece design. I have some imitation Kics R40 that have that. Why do you say buy Muteki tho? They don't have two piece design and I've read the finish chips off on them.

Muteki is cheaper and holds up just as well as the basic Kics. I would love to get a set with the rings though

progress rsb installed. short test drive around the block to make sure it doesnt fall off. lol. turns feel a little better. rear is more responsive. the right middle nut is a pain in the ass to tighten, still a little loose since i can't get my allen key in between the rubber and the bolt head. all the other ones are fine no problem.

^ Nice! I really wanna go w/ Kics. Want close ended this time tho. The Revo are nice, but seems a little crazy to spend that kinda $$$ on lug nuts. Leggdura are nice, but afraid they'll start chipping bad after a few goes with the lug wrench. The Caliber 24 are a bit long, but I'm leaning towards them right now...

Fixed window chip.

Fixed a window chip that I got from a big, nasty rock. Only have 1000 miles on my car

Looks much better, though. But it's directly in my line of sight. I'll get used to it.

Was it a DIY fix? If so, what did you use?

Not DIY. I wanted the best possible results. Used Safelite AutoGlass. Covered by insurance.

been wondering why i have to keep pumping air into my left rear tire every week, but not the others. when i jacked it up to install my rsb, i found a big screw lodged into the thread. so very glad it was in the thread not the wall. i had it plugged up. hopefully it stays good.

Ummm...yeah. Should've been obvious that you had a puncture/leak if you had to air it up every week...

Armrest in normal mode


Armrest slid out


Back view


Armrest storage


Armrest in up position


Replacement screw. The black screw came with the armrest


Washer and machine screw. I drilled a hole where the armrest mounts to the car and used the replacement machine screw to secure the lower part of the armrest. When putting all the parts together make sure to put pressure on the screwdriver so it won't strip the plastic parts.

Today I picked up my Fit. Ordered up a few things from Bernardi (cargo cover, cargo tray and mud flaps).

Ran over a gnarley nail within a mile of picking it up, and it's a fat enough nail that it probably can't be repaired. I checked Tire Rack to see how much the tire is if the dealer wasn't willing to replace it - $117 a piece. Then I saw the reviews and ratings basically say how awful the base tires are, so I decided to order a set of 185/60/15 General Altimax HPs.
