It was at Hayward Honda.
So $120 for tire rotation? Fuck that. It takes me 20 minutes to rotate mine myself. Thats from the time I jack the car up to the time I jack it down and I torque my lugs instead of some shop monkey pounding them with an impact.

Just made arrangements to mount Blizzaks on Fit factory wheels. Both the wheels and the tires came from two former Fit owners. Picked up the tires 3 weeks ago and the wheels just arrived yesterday. The wheels are almost too nice for mounting snows and I know that winter is a long way off, but I prefer to get er done without having the stuff laying around. Besides, once the tires are mounted to the rims, I'll cut my storage requirements almost in half.

2011 Fit Sport Rims arrived nicely packaged yesterday.

So do you have a base...? Or did you sell your 16" stockers at some point?

I have the Sport model. Still has the stock wheels on it. I bought the extra set so I could have the snows mounted for easy winter changeover.

What did I do today? I spent a few hours installing a DVD/NAVI unit, Clarion NX602, and then promptly realized I don't really need it. Thank you Crutchfield for being awesome and having a 60 day return policy!

I also put some I-vtec decals on

I installed a Mugen quick shifter today. It's very nice, easy install and more of a difference than I expected.

Changed the engine and mission oils after work and now at Honda ordering the 3 clips that hold the front bumper in the chassis. Saw the J's bumper underpanel was a bit knickered up and then noticed all 3 clips MIA. Haven't received any ransom calls, so I'm guessing they up and ran away.

Ordered 6 clips, 3 for spares. Get home and I thought I might of had an old clip or 2 from my old Teggy to use till Sunday, STUPID me, I had the original 3 in my shoe closet. Ohhh well, now will just have 6 spares.

I didn't do bupkist with my Fit today... 4th day in a row my car has just sat in the driveway, not moved a single inch. Been riding the Ruckus for deliveries, though "today" was a bad day with the heat AND on/off rain (which I hate)... coupled with a bum rush of orders clustered together. "Tomorrow," I'm taking my Fit to work (along with the Ruckus in the hatch).

Hum... these recent posts... some folks have way too much money.

Looks good, I assume the headliner has to come down to install it correct?

Did the Revo shifter last night along with a new boot and knob. Had to recut the boot a couple times to get the height correct but it turned out OK and the shifter is a marked improvement.

shark fin 10 minute install

No need to touch anything in the interior. Just unscrew the old antenna. The shark fin makes a connection at the threaded hole where the old antenna mounted. It has a ring tab that you screw into the antenna hole. The antenna is held down with 3M automotive tape. Really took me all of 10 minutes to install. For me, there's no discernable degredation in radio reception. I like the look and my wife didn't even notice, so that's one less accessory I need to explain. Lol

Awesome, always liked the way it looks on mom's CR-Z. Looks like that will be next on the agenda after tint.
