That's gotta be for the whole assembly... I wonder how it gets installed... probably with a OEM connector?

The actual mirror's themselves are much cheaper, iirc some one got the pair (heated mirrors only) for about $150 US.... they had to wire them in by using an fuse tap though.

Agreed, the leather shift knob does look good. Where did you get it and how much?

My projects this weekend:

- DIY steering wheel audio controls
- DIY maplight
- Gentex auto dim mirror
- BT35-Hon Bluetooth

I think that was enough time in the garage for me!!

As it turned out, my BMW shop didn't initialize the TPMS sensors last week when they did my springs and wheels. The shop foreman and I visited a couple of Honda mechanics in the same building and the second one's magic scan tool solved my problem. No more idiot light and I can disable traction control again. Solved 2 problems today as it looks like I've found the shop I'll use for maintenance on the car. Yay!

I stopped by the stereo shop I use and made an appointment to have a USA Spec BT35 installed next Saturday.

That is the cost of the whole assembly. I needed the bracket to attach to the car, so I had to buy the whole kit, unfortunately.

I ordered some cf vinyl from a friend to cover a couple interior pieces. I know its not the "right" way to get the cf look, but I can't afford cf interior parts. Plus, its being sold to me at cost.

So today, Finally got the fit washed, replaced the Air filter with a K&N high flow, washable air filter, as well as switched out the Cabin air filter (it was Gross! I need to stop smoking in the car...) Added I-vtech sohc decals to the rear door panels and removed the Fit emblem from the rear. Will be installing the LED third brake light sometime this week when it comes in!

The cabin filter filters the air coming into the car, therefore your smoke isn't getting it dirty. But you shoul quit, because smoking's bad, mmkay. This is coming from an off-and-on smoker, tho.

Fit and CRV

Seems familiar. Bought a '12 CRV EX back in April and then a '12 Fit Base for my wife in August. Like them both but have to admit I enjoy messing with the Fit more, like add ons and improvements. There is something about the Fit that inspires aggressive driving. Maybe it's keeping the momentum up like driving a VW Beetle (had 2 of them one was an autocrosser)

Enjoy!

Thanks.
That's a lot better and now back under consideration. We had nixed the higher price.
