Honda paint is way too soft...I had a 2009 civic si and within 4 months had more rock chips than I'd like. Traded it in for a jeep liberty(don't ask) and the difference between paint quality was night and day the jeeps paint was with out a doubt 100% stronger...after 18 months of ownership I had one chip. The fits paint is on par with my si...soft and easily chipped...I hate it

You know you're a true fitfreak when you can tell it is going to rain today not because of the weather report but because of how your tune is behaving.

I emailed my salesman to see how the search was going for my 2012. He responded that I should have a call or an email tomorrow!

I had to replace my left fog light since a rock decided to hit directly into the glass and shatter it. Oh what luck! P.S. Don't buy one of those from the dealership ($250). I searched elsewhere and found the assembly for $100!

its the back bumper i care about, i HATE!! repeat HATE!!!!! how much dirt and crap collect there. and yes its for looks. and thats maybe exactly why he's doing it. maybe he likes his spoiler sitting a little higher because it'll "LOOK" better. him adjusting his spoiler doesn't have to have anything to do with downforce.

Isn't that the truth! As soon as you wash it and then drive it, it's already dirty!

Found out that the dealer is having a hard time finding one and I may get a Taffy that is being shipped in November.

The power required to max 2 l7s exceeds the stock alternators 90 amp abilities.

Also forza 4: is it worth upgrading from 3 @ $60

It's not the subs that draw the power, it's the amp. I know the sub amp I have has 4 40 amp fuses. I'll have to consider a high output alternator and a second battery.
