i prefer film, used to have the bulbs, but film adds a protective shield for ur fogs as well. looks great during day and night.

Ordered my white gauge faces from WhiteGauges.net today. They don't have the faces for the USDM Fit on their site yet, so you will have to call them to order. I told the guy to be expecting some calls from here, so don't let me down guys! I will post some pics when they arrive later this week Best part is $20 SHIPPED

Had shop install OEM Honda Pads and Rotors. Ended up driving all over North Jersey braking them in and then on the way home over the GWB. They still haven't built up that blue tint yet. Also received the Blitz Throttle Controller today. Will probably install over this weekend.

Today was the annual lash the valves event. No one was invited except me and my L15A1.

To me it was an excuse to fool around in the dark for two hours, but once again she is a very happy engine!

Unfortunately now I'm all sweaty and tired.
