Ebay, I just searched for the sizes I needed and picked a seller with a low price and good feedback (prosportparts is who I bought from). The hub on the GE8 Fit is 56.1mm, while the centerbore on the wheels I am running is 72.62mm.

Hoen

I've had Hoen xenonmatch fogs in my BMW for the last 3 years. I was originally looking for Philips silvervisions to replace the amber bulbs, but they only make bulbs to fit the front turn signals. I checked the Hoen site and it turned out they had what I was looking for (the yellow fogs were kind of an impulse buy).

edit (FYI):
front turn signals: 7507
front sidemarkers: W5W
rear turn signals: 7440
fogs: H11

Nice. Ordered hub centric rings bout a month ago, they're supposed to ship out mid March. Apparently 56.1 -> 65 mm is a very unique ring size and VERY hard to find. None on ebay. Ended up ordering actual rings made by Rays for the specific size TE37 I have.

Not exactly "to the car" but I got the HELM manual for 09-12. My wife has a 10 and I bought a 13. I really want to replace the clutch master cyl with a no-delay version on mine. My other big to-do is better seat bottoms. And changing the dash to orange lights.

Today in record time, I change the oil & filter, plus drained and replaced 3.2 quarts of ATF. This car is ridiculously simple for routine maintenance. I didn't even get dirty.

18 minutes. Just to be honest, though, I had just finished my daughter's, so tools, ramps, drain pan, etc. Were already in position. (Just like a pit stop at NASCAR - Ha Ha)

I flipped the front license plate holder over and used flanged M6-1.0x30mm bolts with 2 rubber grommets sandwiched around a few washers on each bolt to attach the holder to the underside of the bumper. I used a 1/4" plug to plug the hole the dealer drilled, and I have some touch up paint on order to paint that to match. It's not perfect, but it's an improvement.

Heck yeah. When i had my ep3 i used to be able to stick my arm behind passenger wheel and reach the filter and drain plug. Loved oil changes in that thing. Did you go with honda ow20 full synthetic and honda atf?
