What did you do to the GD Fit today?
Thanks! I just used a high temperature spray paint from the local hardware/paint shop. Seems to hold up pretty good too. Just make sure you give it a good wipe down before spraying and do a lot of thin layers. You can't really see in this picture but the bottom right corner is a little blotchy because i sprayed it a little thicker than i should have lol

Not sure on offset, the name of the wheels is "R84 V-Spoke" if you wanna look it up. They are 16's. I was afraid they would be a little too wide but they ended up fitting perfectly.
Thanks, I might do something different to it cause everytime its sunny and I lift the hood I get blinded lol. I just used masking tape on the logo and taped it off really well. I tried to tuck the edge of the tape underneath the logo a bit so the paint could get as close to it as possible
FINALLY took my Fit in for the Master Window Switch recall released a couple years ago. They didn't jack up my trim too bad but there is a very small nick where he must have popped the cover. Nothing to fuss about.
Also had a coupon from Mahwah Honda for a free A/C system check. One of the things under the A/C checklist was clean condenser fins. Either they didn't do it at all or they only cleaned the ones that were free of debris already. *EDIT* On second look, I think they removed some surface debris that was stuck in the radiator. The crushed in fins are still the same way so it looked like nothing was removed.
I can't see how they would offer a FREE full cleaning of the rad anyway as its gotta be a couple hours of labor. Remove the bumper, crossmember, fans, hood latch, etc and drain the coolant, remove and clean the rad, refill with coolant and re-install everything.
Where's that DIY lower mesh grille thread? lol.

I got mines done a few weeks ago and I have a similar nick. They really should be more careful when handling these repairs.

Installed Music Link and replaced the rear seat foot guide. I also swapped the defrost and AC indicator lights so that I could better see when the AC is on. I also ordered new bulbs for those components as well as the AT gear indicator light. Sunday will see a new lower bumper and splash guard, tire rotation, oil change, transmission drain/fill, and checking the wheels for bad bearings. We should hit our 200k mark by the end of summer!!!
Got mine done last week. Dropped the car off with the trim already removed so it wouldn't get damaged again. Now I need to change the leds again lol
Factory sport wheels are 19lbs. But those are 16". They fill up the tire gap well.
