Replaced all my wiper blade inserts! Here are the part #'s if anyone needs it

 

depsite the smashed hood and grille, this came in and was simple and very awesome. why did i wait so long.

 

Sigh... I installed my coilovers a while back and didn't put hinge covers on tightly enough -_- and then while on the freeway, my driver side hinge cover flew off.... it was sad how did you get for $7? I paid $10... even with 15% off...

 

thanks junkie i definitely need to do that soon

yea i think my hinge cover was closer to $13-15

 

What's this hinge cover you guys are talking about? It's dark out and I don't feel like going to look under my hood right now HA!

 

Lol don't worry, i didn't know until I needed it... it's those two pieces on the side of your windshied. the plastic piece. that's the hinge cover because it covers the hinges of the Hood... LOL stupid name but eh.. and it's soooo expensive.

OH those two tiny pieces on either end of the wiper cowl. Man, I've taken that whole cowl off half a dozen times I bet. A pain but luckily everything went back on a-ok.

 

Springs and wheels went on the car today and it got an alignment. I grabbed a quick photo right after I got home and before the sun set.

 

Nice what kind of springs? I have some teins stech in my closet just waiting for spring. How much may I ask was for the install? Unless you did them yourself

 

H&Rs. I measured a 1.75" drop in front and a 1.375" drop in the rear. The shop I use for my BMW did the work and they aren't cheap - it was a bit under $1000 to mount the tires and balance the wheels, initialize the TPMS, install the springs, and dod a custom alignment. I'll post some more photos on Sunday or Monday along with a scan of the alignment print-out.

 

Quick service order part yesterday morning from Bernardi arrived today. Installed not use to getting parts so fast with standard UPS.

 

Cliff: I love that metallic color... is that only available on the new 2013?

 

A quick check of edmunds.com reveals that polished metal metallic was added in 2011. It matches nicely to the wheel centers (Enkei J10 16x7).

 

Yeah, the body color with the wheels looks great!

 

I didn't know Honda offered a heated mirror. Can this be retrofitted to a 2012 base?
Bob (from the frozen midwest)

 

^^^ Yeah, but you have to order the mirrors from a Canadian Honda dealer, since it's not an option in the US. (also have to wire them in, iirc, fuse location 55)


Speaking of the heated mirrors, for those Canadian members, how well does the heating element dry the mirrors?
I can't decide between the heated mirrors & the JDM Aquacleans.

 

Looks great. I want one! Where did you get it?

 

Yes, the mirrors can be interchanged as mentioned. Canadian dealers stock both kinds (heated and non-heated) because the base model doesn't come with them iirc (We have a mid-level car called the LX, which is what I bought). If you're interested, they are $301.99 CDN per mirror, and the box has everything you need for the conversion. It will work with your rear window defrost button. Contact a dealer near the border to save yourself some shipping costs.

Once the ice is melted off, it dries them quite nicely. It will also clear up any rain or condensation in a few minutes of turning them on.

 

i just got it from bernardi. for what its worth, its probably lighter than the stock by a few ounces, and it matched well with the exterior. feels alot better in my hands too compared to the stock one

 

Finally washed the Fit after a few months. Stupid weather! You never know when it's going to rain
