What did you do to your GE fit today?
1) Realized I need some lumbar support.
2) Sang songs to my infant daughter in the hope that she would stop screaming.
3) Purchased an Accord horn from Bernardi in Framingham, MA. Their counter prices are higher than their internet prices and, despite knowing that I should have known this, I didn't know this.

Those are some awesome seat covers!!!!Very JEALOUS
Unfortunately....AND I HATE it that I have to mention it but the RS emblem is fake and it looks bad. It's and RS badge from a Toyota Yaris.
The real one looks like this:
Please Please remove it. You seem way too proud of your car otherwise.

Someone has to teach her how to sing off key. And, in this particular case, it was not about winning the battle so much as fighting it despite knowing I would lose.

Thanks malraux And Rampo for your help. I went ahead and clicked the "place order" button and unfortunately my order was processed immediately without any "confirm order". The shipping charge was indeed added. No drop down boxes, no other way to change shipping options from the default UPS Ground. I'll call them first thing in the morning and explain what happened; I'm sure they'll make good on thier promotion and debit my credit card the shipping charge. As you said Rampo, I'll let them know I'm on this forum however, I'm not expecting any problems.
Thanks again to both you guys!

I can and do strongly recommend College Hills Honda! They stand behind thier statements, make good on thier promises, and offer extremely fair and reasonable prices. Many thanks and appreciation to you guys!!!

Unzip the seat and add some rolled up towels in front of the plastic molded lumber support. Just watch out you don't push the headrest too far forward doing this! My boss used this solution in is '05 Civic Si, though the fabric wasn't glued to the seats like in the Fit, so he put the towel in behind the fabric in front of the foam.
I went the opposite direction and straightened out the plastic to make the seat flatter (younger and too much lumbar in the wrong spot kills my back!). Best of luck!
Please note that any changes you make to the seat structure are at your own risk! Honda designed and tested the seats the way they are, so changing them could change their performance in a crash!

Do you run 205/50/16 for your non-winter tires as well? Got a weird camber comment on my receipt when I had that size mounted on my 2012 Sport rims.

i run 205/45/17's for summer 17x7 ET45 and winter is 205/50/16 16x7 ET40.hummm... your camber shouldn't be a problem with sport wheels, but for me, im using camber bolts on the front and dialed in -1.5. you can source the spc bolts from tirerack.com.
you will need an alignment afterwards as your toe will toe-in quite a bit.yah, it can be an itchy back or sock or something minor that will keep them screaming until they can't scream no more. or you pass out and you can't hear no more.
hahahaha. im a dad too and raising 2 little boys. i know what it's like to be waken up at 12am, then 1am, then 2am, then 3am, then 4am, then 5am then oh, it's time to get up to go to work anyway. hahaha

Looks to me like they both use the same one. You want a Sport badge you use this one.

Thanks for the SPC camber bolt suggestion. Seems like I'll have to get the mechanic on the phone or talk face-to-face in order to clarify their comment.
Good luck with the boys. As for the sleep perhaps my daughter could teach them a lesson -- she's asleep every night by 9PM and wakes around 7AM. Wish I had that sort of schedule.

X_25: good advice on the lumbar support, and good advice on the disclaimer.
The more I think about it your towel suggestion might solve two problems: lumbar support and length (front-to-back) of the seat. Wish the Fit's driver seat came with the sort of adjustable thigh support found in expensive German automobiles. That's such a big wish that it would probably count as two wishes, but a guy can dream.

good luck with your screaming daughter too.
my kids are in grammer school so they dont keep me up any more. the younger kid was easy, the older kid was not as easy.
Implemented my cheap and dirty bluetooth audio solution: Jabra Clipper.
Good news: it works as a bluetooth audio receiver, included headphones are not terrible, and I can use it in the office with my current headphones.
Bad news: cannot stream audio to Clipper and use USB port to charge iPhone.

i run motorola Roadster2's on both my G and GE. works very well. auto on/off, battery lasts me about 5wks without a charge.
it can stream audio if you want, but i use it mostly for speaker phone and as speaker for google nav. what i like best about this product is its auto on/off feature and not having to have to auto-mute my music when i get a call or when nav says an instruction. the party on the other end can not hear the music playing in the background in my car either thanks to its noise cancellation software.
