Just in case anyone was wondering, the seats in our cars SUCK AFTER 10 HOURS OF DRIVING.

Lol 10? Mine suck after just 5 hours. The lumbar support is just terrible/non-existant. Maybe a seat swap/replacement should be in the near future.

Didn't do anything but driving to the gym today I saw another GE with an aftermarket exhaust purpleish HID's and a decal on the back window "Purple Kush" lol. I believe it was a BRP?

If your on these forums and it was you then you would have been driving south on 110 near SUNY Farmingdale. I dont know if you saw me go on your left in the turning lane but if you did, whats up! haha

Gave my baby her first tank of gas since the dealer (puregas, no ethanol). Practiced on the manual transmission--at pickup on Saturday I couldn't drive stick, now I can! 7 miles on odometer at pickup, now 267.

Filled my first tank today also, although 10% ethanol seems to be the only available option here in NY. It was nice (and unusual) to buy regular gas. Ordered the oem center armrest console, cargo cover, cargo liner, and wheel locks from hondapartsdeals (free shipping during December) which should be arriving tomorrow, as well as weathertech front mats which should arrive who knows when. On Friday I installed a plastic mesh behind my grill to protect the condenser. I also have a steben magnum dual horn on my x-mas wish list as well as the Fit sunshade. Also, I am going tomorrow to put an xpel clear bra on the impact area of the rear bumper (for city parking) and the headlights. Not willing to spent the $$$ for the entire front end, but for some reason those huge headlights are screaming at me to stay clear. It seems that the xpel custom clear bra for the 2012 just came out this week for anyone interested. It's some serious bucks to do the entire front though.
I only have 170 or so miles on my Fit but I love it. I just wish it had a couple of more inches of leg room, but it will do. I also have to get used to parking at the far end of parking lots again. Damn if I wasn't worried about a stray shopping cart rolling into my car in its far away spot though.

"Purple kush"...geez might as well write "pull me over please" on the car.

I think they look awesome, and what is really cool is that I have a light blue fog light film on my fogs but it doesn't change the color of the new output. So they look light blue off and blazing yellow on

I installed the center console armrest with great help from jamfred's DIY tutorial.

I also put in the cargo tray and cargo cover.

I finally removed the dealer installed crap. Pinstripe, dealer logo, and the door edge guards that were already peeling off. Looks 100x better, in my opinion. Now I just need a cool license plate frame to finally stop representing Gary Smith . . .

I had to grind the f**k out of the brackets, but I got the ITR caliper/rotors to fit pic later, still coughing up steel residue lol

Busy week: I took delivery on my 2012 OBM Fit Sport M/T on Monday, 12/19, and have since:
- swapped out shift knob for Voodoo Pearlescent (sits lower on the shift column - found I really don't need a short shifter kit)
- installed Mugen axleback exhaust (nice sound but I don't expect much improved performance - wouldn't mind a few extra mpg's though)
- put on winter snow tires (4) mounted on steel rims w/wheel covers (TireRack: General Altimax Arctic 185 70-14)
- winter floor mats and cargo mat

Still to do:
- door sill / rocker covers
- arm rest
- Magnet Bra (depends - will have to see how it looks/fits)
- take a few pictures to post here!

Thanks to all for your input and advice!
