First weekend with the fit

Since this is my first weekend with the fit (got it wednesday this week, 2009 DX with AC), I finally had some time to personalize it.

Darwin fish and FSM logo:





FSM license plate:



And replaced the whimpy Roadrunner horn with a nice Fiamm El Grande red twins:



The car is finally ready and perfect for the Montreal traffic.

I love my fit, I've had it for less than week, but it is an awesome car.

if I lived in Brooklyn or any major city like that and had to park on the street I would def. look into those. Not the best looking but if it saved the bumper its worth in imo.

Good idea.

What color did you end up using on the bumper guards to come near the Tidewater Blue?

Also, what's involved in changing the horn... difficult or no?

He looks much better with the doors open.

Moved the high mounted brake light off to the side a bit, I hate it right in the middle, it blocks the road.

Took out two bolts, pulled the wire out to get as much slack as possible, folded over the two latches and mounted the left side of the light into the right side bolt hole.

Haven't driven it yet, but hoping it makes a difference in rear visibility....

Edit: Does make a difference, can see behind ok. Blocks the right side a bit, but since I'm almost always in the right lane it doesn't matter.

Edit2: Took pic of brake light. I'd be first to admit it looks a bit dorky, but the improvement in rear visibility means I don't give a sh*t!

Looking good, looks clean! Where did you purchase the chrome/amber bulbs?
