yeah a bunch of us have been getting on his case about his site... his customer service is the best i've had (and i've had some good ones)...

they're one piece rotors, and don't weigh any less than the stockers... but in one piece rotors i wouldn't want them to weight less - then they wouldn't be as effective in dissipating heat... you'd want two piece rotors for that...

I had the same problem when I tried to do mine. A friend of mine works at sears and when I got some tires mounted I gave him $10 to quick throw it on for me

MNFit you have any adivse on the install of the grill i just got mine in on yesterday. It looks easy enough just double sided tape than the 4 srews. But my question is do i have to take the hole bumper off to get the stock grill off. It seems like i would. Thanks for any insight.

you dont have to remove the bumper, contrary to what others say. Its been some time since I did this, if I remember correctly, you remove the clips on the top of the bumper. Then lift up the top and reach in with a screw driver to remove 2(?) screws, one on each side. You will also have to push in some clips to pop it out. Its completely do able to do it with out removing the bumper just a bit of a pain.

good to know ill have to give it a try that way, with my gfs fit, we just left the screws out last time we took off the bumper so the grill just snapped in and out.

yesterday; Drove the Fit to work for the first time, still traces of cig smell, maybe in the vents. Will have to Zep Odor Eliminate with the fan on recirculate to see if that doesn't help. Car is way small, more than I imagined.

Removed a "Val" sticker on the hatch? Maybe it used to say "Valves?" Used fingernail and rubbing alcohol.

303'd the dash.

Paired the bluetooth with my BB. My other car doesn't have this, neat.

Got the car registered as its about to be due. Installed registration sticker on rear license plate.

Ok cool how about the screws for the top what size did you go with mine came with no hardware. Or would it be safe to just go with the double sided tape
