I've owned a sign shop for six years now. It currently has vinyl on it. Vinyl sucks for long-term use so I'm going with paint so I can actually wax it and it look good.

 

Come on guys! You make it sound hard! It only took me a maybe 11 hours to complete my install GL!

Please tell me you have grilles or some sort of cover for those Other wise your dash looks like it has pointy nipples

 

I guess I hold the record. 45 minutes for the retrofit, 45 minutes to remove and re-install the bumper.

 

Jeebus Christ! So you'll get mine done and shipped back in a day right?

 

Minis without painting I can do in 30 now.

 

Holy crap! Took me 4 days! (granted most of it was masking or fixing some stupid paint issue, and e only about an hour each day) Still! That's quick. Probably doesn't hurt it's your job!

Today I prepped some stuff for the fit and my girl ordered me some jdm goodies!! Best gf EVER!

 

Oh shut it! We all know you have a Pizza hut oven in your basement and that throwing the headlights through on the conveyor belt takes 7 minutes and they just peel right apart.

I think I could take my bumper off and on faster than 45 minutes. At least it felt faster.

 

I can get my bumper off in about 8 minutes. Might be because every time I take it off I lose another screw/clip though. I think I'm down to 2 push clips under the bumper. Whoops!

 

Lmfao I didn't lose any tabs but I got them so loose that I could pull them out with a finger nail.

 

That's what I did today. Big THANKS to Java^FiT.

 

fit ge a/t - YouTube 28.6mpg avg :/

 

Ummm....^^^yeah nothing gets good gas millage at WOT, uphill, and at higher than 55-65mph. Slow down to the speed limit, don't accelerate on hills, don't slow down going down hills, accelerate slowly, and your mpg's will go up.

 

250V? o.O what's the uF value on mylar caps? I know it's temp but not a good way to mount those tweeters as they are directional... bouncing those high freqs is not SQ friendly... if that's what your looking for.

 

i know... 55-65mpg cruising would definitively yield mid to high 30mpg or even in the 40s

if your read the video description... 75-85mph cruising, 100mph top, 1136 total miles, 28.6mpg avg. so yeah, don't do it at home... don't drive like me if you love your mpg so much. this was a to and from long drive. just take the video as "statistical".

 

Damn evil. Driven like a badass!! I don't think I ever went for mpg's in my fit. Always averaged around 28 mpg or so too. Driving like a grandma isn't fun.

 

Installed garage door lip

 

very unsettling in a fit at 95+mph. Something weird happened tho while I was paddling in S mode... I got stuck in 4th and won't shift 5th. the 5th gear indicator just kept on flashing everytime I hit the paddle (hit this twice). had to let off the gas for a sec before it made me shift to 5th

 

Lol have you ever taken it to the speed limiter? I've never heard of the shifting issue. But I had the MT anyways.

 

pulled over in mundelin! i have those thai led cover caps winkers and i wired up the solid blue light once the headlights come on. and cop told me it was illegal. they lasted me a month, and ive driven that trip before i guess it was just time.

gave me a warning thoe for my clean record (asked if i had any tickets, maybe the i heart driving slow plate frame helped?)

 

Do they flash with your turn signal? If so then yeah they're illegal. Most of the time if you have a clean record they'll give you a warning or fix-it ticket for something like that.

No telling if he noticed the slow driving frame lol.
