Nope, the plastic skirt actually gets removed if there is one and isn't reinstalled. I'm curious myself on what this updated part will be.

Went on a drive with some friends, it was such a blast. I did a highway pull against one of my friends newer stock STI. He pulled about a car length on me, not to shabby for a NA Honda.

This week I installed rain guards and yellow fog bulbs, removed the fit emblem from the hatch and plasti-dipped the grill and rear emblem.

What did I do to my fit today lol more like what did other people do to my fit today... I have accumulated dozens of dents and scratches from the parking lot and still counting... The people opening their cars harshly without care to other people's car has been a big problem here in Dubai. I'm pissed off to see an almost six inch scratch from a white car's door on my blue paint. Its enormously visible and the person who did it have seen it and just let it like that. Ironically whenever I open my door I make sure that I'm not going to hit the car parked next to me...

Hopefully my next post here is that I have finally repaired these scratches.

Just dropped mine off at Joe Morgan for the 2nd recall work on power window switch on driver's door. It stresses me out leaving my car with them...

Got it the from our local automotive garage sale.
From what the seller told me, It's a fender sidemarker from a BMW E36 3-series
and they light up too..

(sorry for the crappy phone pics)


What wheels, size, etc are these?

Thanks in advance.

Does changing out the hoses really do anything?

They look good and can be used to replace old hoses.
