I'd replace them if the car didn't still drive the same as the day I bought it.

Since it does.

I will replace them at 70k miles.

I no scare.

Found my teeny screwdriver and decided to install one of my Christmas gifts.

Ordered some Element center caps for the slipstreams that I am going to give a custom treatment to, and I also caved in during the same order and decided to add the carbon fiber vent trim rings to the rest of the ensemble. I think the complete kit probably looks best, but if I were to get one of the three, definitely the button trim panels! They feel real nice and smooth, and the carbon pattern is very "matchy" with the door fabric. They don't look out of place at all, even if there wasn't any carbon anywhere else in the interior. A solid mod for $45, or whatever they want.

I never liked the door fabric. I'd love to re-cover it in black vinyl or something, but I'm planning on selling the Fit next spring, so I don't want to spend too much on it.

I actually work at a Honda dealer so I have a nice warm(ish) shop at my disposal all year long BWAHAHAHA! I'll either get one of my tech to do it or come in on a saturday and try it myself...with a little help.

My 30mm offset Ichiba's arrived today. 20mm up front and 30mm rear. Looks nice and flush with no rubbing on stock springs.

I'll be raising it back up a bit. It's really irritating getting stuck on speed bumps and bottoming out on side streets.

Looking cool is the entire purpose of modifying a car.

Took 2 hours to dig out the Fit out of the driveway today. Then took her out for a nice spin. It rode well in the snow. Although it is not my old GMC Acadia it sure does feel safe in the snow and muck so far. Pleasantly surprised!

Something wrong with the shroud behind the brakes and wheel. It is rubbing. Going to dealer for that one. Warranty!


I also removed my tailpipe garnish for winter. No sense in having that on getting all scratched up for nothing.
