Haha I see. I can see his point, I don't need to know you drove your fit (drive mine er'y damn day), but I you're alright by me so who cares! You like your car and that's all that matters.

My Fit and I pursued what appeared to be a drunk driver on the way home yesterday. Got hold of the police and he got pulled over. Hopefully that chalks up another drunk driver that's taken off the road in handcuffs.

Today, going to clean and wax the Fit and get the new wheels cleaned up a bit and see how well they fit and if I will need spacers or not. Will post pictures.

EDIT: Also returned my rear wiper to stock profile. I've come to the decision that I think it looks cleaner than the JDM mod.

Yeah, I can see that mod working functionally, but only barely. Being vertical, it's only function is to keep dirt and snow collection down to a minimum.

But it becomes a distraction (to me) when I look at my rear view mirror. And even looking at it from outside, I can't stand the way it looks.

i'm glad you noticed. Having it up like that does keep the dust off the blade but it looks...

odd.

Got back from my trip to the Philippines and Hong Kong yesterday and finally managed to install some of the stuff I got.

RS emblem. Red i-vtec emblem for engine cover. Some yellow chinese charm for my rear view mirror

Red i-vtec emblem. Had to snip off three prongs for it to sit level on the cover. Not an exact fit, but whatever. Not too obvious as long as u don't look hard. I hope the adhesive holds on the honda i-vtec lettering underneath.

About Us
I like the blue tape look better. That stuff looks good and everything but if I'm out there with a squeegee applying vinyl i expect it to be permanent. the tape is cheap, I can put it on quick, and its a conversation starter.

Well plans got changed and I didn't get my rims cleaned/fitted. That's postponed til I have some extra time. Possibly tuesday. BUT! I got my Xenon 5000K super brights in the mail today and got them installed. Also reinstalled my Super White LED Park lights and license plate lights.

Unfortunately I broke the lens clip on one of the plate lights. :/ I gotta call the dealership in the morning and see if they have any on hand. Hopefully they have one in stock or I may have to figure out a way to keep the lens in place for my commute tomorrow.

took a couple of quick snaps of my winter setup (more picts in my blog) and washed, cleaned the interior, and engine bay.
went out for a quick spin...

also ordered up a bamboo to clean up my picts on my MBP later on.
