Checked air pressures, replaced my DIY A/C cabin filter (made from 3M Filtrete), and replaced the duct tape that keeps my rear wing's broken left end on the hatch.
I've been doing the duct tape fix on the rear wing for two years now; the fact that my car is silver means it's inconspicuous from afar. I would like to get a new rear wing, but I don't want the bother of repainting the hatch to remove the duct tape residue. It's a "ghetto" fix perhaps but it does the job.
Meanwhile this is the DIY A/C cabin filter after a month installed behind the glovebox. That's fresh 3M Filtrete on the left for comparison.

As for the DIY A/C filter - I've been doing that for far longer. Manila's air is very polluted, and the Filtrete snags all that fine particulate shit that would've entered my lungs. It's so fine, it rubs off on my fingers and stains them when I handle the dirty filter.
It actually helps keep the A/C system clean, too. People say I should be replacing the filter even more often than the monthly intervals I do.

I did the DIY gutter guard condenser protector installation. I searched extensively about how to remove the bumper and the best I could find was a page from an instruction pdf from college hills honda on installing the fog light kit. Man was that ever a PITA and I will NEVER attempt that again with mounting my car on jack stands. Anyway, hopefully the job holds up through winter as my Fit condenser has already taken a beating from the previous owner.
Replaced a lock actuator that was occasionally squelching for a while a few weeks ago... only to find out that there was a second actuator squelching as well. -.-
Today I washed the GD3 and went for a drive with friend in an ITR. Also shot pictures with him at a couple of locations. All in all, it was a good day today.

Haha but why? Mine have been making that noise since 2006.
Mine is an intermittently as well except the weather doesn't affect it at all. It'll squelch after a a few lock/unlock cycles every now and then or sometimes it squelches consecutively for two or three lock/unlock cycles. It only bothers me because I have sensitive hearing... and is a bit OCD. 
I just bought a Spoon N1 the other day...
Got my 15x8 949 racing wheels this past week and my tires should be in tomorrow. My wife is painting the wheels neon yellow before i mount the tires on. Super excited.
AS IF MY CAR ALREADY DIDNT STAND OUT. LOL

Spent more time playing with my FlashPro on lunch, and going over a couple tunes for new FlashPro owners.
It's all but identical to ECMLink V3, excepting the GUI.. which is a real easy transition for me haha
Good Times.

Any time any has ever complained about his customer service (which is awful) he goes into a rage-filled tirade and makes an ass of himself on the internet.
