Hi,
I went by to see if weatherbeaters were in, they were. (2 days delivery)
Then went and paid for and now own and drive my first FIT. Ya baby!!!
Installed weatherbeaters and transferred stuff.
Bought and installed idiot mirrors on side mirrors cause, almost back into a twit while leaving Honda for the first time.
Had to go back to Honda to get its registration papers.(new plate for new car)
And,
------ Absolutely love driving my little standard.

I think I'm going to have a really fun summer!

Oh, and I don't have a single case of the new car jitters, just enjoying driving MY new car. (gonna need a 'their watchin' and hatin'' sticker soon. haha)

ps: not gonna read 400 pages of posts so, I'll just say: "Glad you're all doing and paving a road of ideas for my many years of fun to come."

'til next time...

What is a Wafulz, and what is the similarity???


Addit: As for the term "whip", I did some reading,,, horse and carriage stuff, but I prefer this one: We used cars to whip to the store and back, cause it's a might quicker than walking, so: ~~~Just whip it, whip it good~~~


Addit: And have the Element lockable gas cap since day 1, um, it's day 2 now but, no problems yet. )

You're welcome, I'm pretty happy I only spent 1/3 the cost of an OEM armrest. If any local fit members want me to install their ebay armrest I would be glad to do it for free, so I can write a tutorial.

New McGard lug nuts. These things are legit! Can't believe I waited so long to pick some up. Whole kit for under $100, includes 12 spline drive nuts, 4 special locking nuts, and 4 valve stems (I prefer my blue Rays ones tho). The spline drive lug nuts are two piece, so they have the floating seat like Kics R40 and R26 or the Volk Formula Racing lug nuts. Almost don't need the locking nuts because the rest are spline drive anyway.

They're great quality. The finish is actually a chrome finish, not anodized, so they should stay black for a long time and resist chipping well. McGard is an OEM manufacturer. If you buy the Honda wheel locks, they're McGard. Don't know about just the regular stock lug nuts, but they're probably McGard as well.

How does one go about painting stitching? Looks great. Not sure about repairing the damage on the top though.

I just bought a fine tip red dye pen from Joan fabrics I think it was 3bucks but yea you paint the stitch and wipe any excess off with a wet rag.

Eventually I'll go over it again it looks good from far but dull up close so I'll paint it again
