Today I replaced the lens on the rear cargo light with the Acura Cargo Light w/switch 34265-SFE-003. Took about 2 minutes total. Now if I want, I can manually turn off the light when the hatch is open. Simple job, it was bugging me that I couldn't turn off the light when leaving the hatch open.

Plug & play on my GE. Carefully pry off the lens. Unplug the connector on the old lens, and replug into the new. While it was open, I also replaced the bulb with the high power LED light from College Hills Honda.

Georgia's tint law is 32%, and mine are at 15%. It was overcast and starting to rain when I took that pic. IRL, its not SUPER dark. Just dark enough. I have the hardest time driving when its really bright, I just end up squinting too much. I'm pleased with the result, just looking forward to being able to roll the windows down for fresh air after the tint cures.

The darker tint looks real good. I was tempted to go darker, but I went 32%. Couldn't take a chance in my neck of the woods. Law enforcement here is picky.

I know what you mean. Thats the one thing I am always a little fearful of. I had a red 2dr Yaris hatch that had the same tint, and I went cross country once and several times to concerts and such in Atlanta and never got harassed. I always make sure to use my cruise control so I can't give them anything else to pull me over for.

confirmed my orders for my smoked depo tailight (double LED) were on their way.

i also ordered LED lights for my license plate bulbs, since i noticed 1 was burned out.

i also ordered these off ebay. all in red. 40 PC FLUSH BOLT FENDER BUMPER TUCKED ENGINE BAY BOLT AND WASHER KIT CLEAN JDM | eBay

i mainly wanted a little extra "anti-thief" potection for my JDP carbon fiber license plate frame. (tiny bit harder to steal now then when it was just a 4 head screw) but i guess since i have 20 of them i'll dress up my engine bay a bit too

Ripped out the rear seats and levelled out the terribly forward-stanced T1R Springs. Weight reduction and stiffer rear for $0. I like it. Haha! Now the steering is very, very well balanced! At the limits of traction, give gas for understeer, brake for over, and steady pace for clean steering.

I bought and installed a cargo cover for my fit. I have a 12 inch sub and don't want people to see it thru the windows.

ordered a used set of OE 2005 Lexus IS300 yellow fog light projectors. It was almost the price of 1 of my Q45 projectors.
