Just got back from my trip today. 900+ miles, 26 gallons of fuel consumed, and averaged around 35 MPG.

Agreed. I think GEs look much better with the black light housings, black mirror covers, and wingless but they have to have the Sport front bumper and side skirts. Ray's SSM GE Base looked pretty sweet with the Sport bumper.

Cool. Thanks for sharing that info. I wish there was a type of antenna that doesn't have to be magnetically attached to the roof, I scratched the heck out of my roof trying to remove it off the Fit. It would be nice to use the Fit's radio antenna for the CB somehow.

Your Welcome Hootie! I was thinking the same thing using the stock antenna (since i dont use the radio anyway).t What i did was lay down some painters tape on the roof, cut to the circle of the antenna and it wont scratch it.

if you want your fit level, you might wanna cut a coil like you did with your skunks. teins have the same kind of fwd slant

^^ was thinking keeping skunk rears, but may cut tein rears anyway. Sportlines were an option, but im not a eibach fan they bounce. Sportlines are 2"front. Tein is 1.8". Tein should give me what I need to close what little gap I got left.

Answer me this why is it the gd springs rake front to back but ge springs are level? Wheres the love in that?

Ryan measure from your top of wheel well to level ground for me. I need to know how low sportlines are installed please?

There is a 3/4" difference in the length of Swift springs for the GDs.. Being dropped a little more in the front reduces under steer and provides considerably more tire adhesion when starting off from a dead stop. ... That is a benefit that is far better than being what is considered visually correct.

that's cool! did you wire it to the dome light, or does it have an independent switch?
