Installed gutter guard for a/c protection. (I already had a few rolls which I think I picked up for free.) Still need to cut off the leftover ziptie bits.

Clean out car, put stuff in car, go run errands.

Is it special vinyl so it doesn't burn or discolor?

I didn't do anything to my car, but someone else did. I parked in my school parking lot, and some adult backed into it. Luckily for me, they left a note on my dash. My Fit was hit right above the wheel well. Since the area is so small, they will have to blend all the way to the front mirror of the car.

I believe it is lamin-x film. I'm not too sure.

I hated the cheap chrome look. Makes the fit look a little meaner.

Where'd you get that Mugen emblem?

I just did mine yesterday and it came off easily. Have you tried just taking out the bulb instead?

Shoot a little WD-40 on the seal and wiggle it side to side back and forth then pull.... I know it sounds red neck but it works.

i was going to do a install write up but w/ pics but it is pretty easy.

so here is a quick write up:

1. raise the back right of the fit and remove the wheel

2. unbolt the stock exhaust (12mm)

3. remove the stock exhaust from rubber hangers (leave the rubber hangers on the car)

4. put the SE exhaust on the hangers

5. bolt the SE to the mid-pipe (will need extened 12mm & normal 12mm)

hope that helps
