Yeah ive seen them on that site its exactly the same one. Zeta just overprices alot of their products.

The sticker was my first choice to cover up any other decals

I wouldn't doubt it. They charge 30 bucks MSRP for a set of valve stem caps, 60 to 80 bucks for a license plate frame (depends on if silver, black, or chrome and whatev), and 1,100 bucks for a non-M E60 5 series windshield with the rain sensor already installed but without the heads up display (which is 300 bucks more according to what I've heard).

I forgot to update eariler. Monday, I aligned the Fit. The rear toe was off on both sides (need to get EZ red shims) as well as the passenger rear camber. The front toe and camber was off as well. Got the caster set a 2.9 degrees and toe up front set dead at 0, but I couldn't set the front camber how I wanted without the "crash bolts" or a camber kit.

So, everything is somewhat in order on the front for now. Just need to wait for parts, then I'll have to do it all again at college. haha

I know right, BMW parts are higher than Tommy Chong when visiting a Cannabis College. But they sure are awesome machines when everything is in working order.

A rock hit the windshield. Nothing too major thankfully, about the length of a penny. Safelite will fix it tomorrow. Only have 600 miles on the car I've got 130,000 miles on the truck and never had a chip lol.



Edit, wrong section lol, oh well, probably the same kind of windshield anyways

Here it is painted!

Now this one needs 2 holes drilled in the hatch. Make a stencil out of cardboard to get the holes drilled in the right place and on center. You'll need to make 2 gaskets for under the pedestals.
I used a 5/16" dense foam and cut them to fit around the base.
I love the way it looks on the Fit! o'ya you will also need to cover the hole left in the hatch from the OEM wing.
I used the the vorrtecks off of Amazon 20.00 clean them really well (fisheye on ya!) and wet sand 600.
Good Luck and don't get in a rush
Big Mike

why would i need the gaskets? so it doesn't scratch the paint?

also, are there any other options for the holes from the stock wing?
