LOL, best comment all day. There is only ONE scuff on my lip that im mad at my self for. I was making a U tune in a unlit alley. I misjudged the distance and grounded my lip on a curb. I scuffed the passenger side up pretty good, lucky its still not very visible

Thank you for your service.

I want to wash my car but it keeps raining! I also need to vacuum. Whoever commented about women and their "crap" inside cars, I am determined to not do that! Just some car help accessories in the back, that's it.

I'm thinking of buying some tire polish. See? I'm already being affected by you Fit Freaks!

Most useful thing I've found is a full size old fashion milk crate. Will fit two grocery bags perfectly.

+rep for de-ricing your new (to you) Fit! Looks great,as all TW Fits do. If I wasn't so OCD about keeping my car clean i would love to have had a TW. Any clue as to what springs those are? car sits just right....

I was hoping they wouldn't do that..... 5mm spacers on my wheels would cause scraping too and My car is like 1.3 drop in front and .6 in the rear.... Your car was looking damned good without the spacers..... 5mm isn't much at all but it put you over the line.

Red springs eh? Those sound like they could be Tanabes. They have two different drop springs; the GF210 and the DF210.
