Finally got my alignment after having the Buddy Club N+ on for a couple of weeks. Final measurements:

Front Camber L/R: -2.3/-2.0
Front Toe: 0.00
Rear Camber L/R: -0.8/-1.2
Rear Toe L/R: 0.20/0.35

Should I worry about those minor differences between the L and R sides, or are they minor enough to not make a big difference?

Finished my retrofit!
5k bulbs. To be honest, I kind of want to move to the 4300k bulbs. Maybe I just need to adjust, or it may just be a little too much for me. meh.
also took some quick photos for the hell of it but I'm not really sure what thread to throw it in. newb, I know.

Thanks! Yeah, I did have to cut them myself since the mats are universal. Actually... that's kinda ironic.

Oh well! It wasn't too bad and it's good enough for me.

Finished the visual part of my stereo install. I've had the avh4400 for about 3 weeks now. GREAT unit. Does everything but navi. Still need to run my 4 ch amp and my BA components. Until then, the stock speakers do sound better. Having a real sub out helps too.

I also wrapped the dash, and have a little left over to get rid of the rest of the silver in the car. That's Monday's project... Enjoy.

Yes I do use it daily. Cage won't be installed actually until the padding I ordered arrives. Was just sent on Friday.

Colorblind frustration

Finally got all the parts together to install my new Clarion NX-501 HU. Mama is gone for the weekend so I was able to spread out everything in the kitchen and not worry about the mess. My plan was to wire up the harness on Friday evening, then spend the rest of the weekend installing the unit in the Fit at my leisure. Well, this plan was derailed when I started mating the Metra harness to the Clarion harness. I knew I wa "slightly" colorblind, but there was no way these 10 or 12 wires were going to end up being correctly mated. It turns out for me, that there is no discernable differnce between gray, green, blue, purple, or brown. I am so frustrated, sitting here early Saturday morning, waiting for my daughter to come over so she can identify the colors for me.
