Scuff marks

After I painted my trim - in particular the door handle, I discovered that scuff marks kept occurring on the handles in the same area. Rather than going thru the re-surfacing process over and over I decided on a simple but effective solution. Place a foil badge there and re-surface it on-top the door handle. Working so far.... with my fingers crossed!!

Order placed

I placed an order for blue inserts for the steering wheel and rear emblem to match the blue dot on the Fit emblem. On a BOM GD, I am hoping to continue the "blue" theme to include accents on the wheels, as well as on the interior.

Thumbs up Autolite XP5224 Iridium

I changed out the NGK OEM plugs (25k) for these. If you don't know it I'm CHEAP (that's part of the FUN )
so I saw these @ RockAuto for 5.00 apeice, OK then of course I check a few other sites for Price, Rebates Ect., Ect.
Amazon had on their site a printable rebate 2.00 per plug off w/ upc from the box.
So where else can ya get iridium plugs for the Fit for 12.00.

What I noticed were the OEM plugs weren't even tight when I backed them out to put the new ones in.
Added copper anti-seize and installed 1/4 turn after hand tight.
Took MzFiT for a 20 mile trip 2k-6.5k rpm hiway & intown all is good. My MPG is headed south and I want to see if plugs would help,
It has smoothed out the cold startup idle.
God is Good all the Time
Make it a Good Week
Mike

Took a trip down some winding back roads and ended up having to drive sensibly on the way back due to heavy rains.

I noticed that you're a Houston local that auto-xs (seen your other post). Have you ever tried gymkhana before?

I installed my new grille!

I got it (them, actually) from Mr. Grille (aka wee12) on eBay. Installation took about 1/2 an hour. I was leery of getting it in black, but I think I like the look a lot better than the traditional billet.
