I noticed that. I agree they still look great. Fits the car well. Wife even commented how streamlined they are. I'm just glad I can now crack the windows when it's raining.

- I do know that heat creates resistance which = voltage drop but, those are really short lengths you're using and inrush current just won't last long enough.(plus a compression connector for a mere #4 wire is like 5$)
thanks.
Finally a man that knows what he is talking about.

Forget the Louis Vuitton. aww eff it, You need to put some wheel locks on those. If I had Mugen wheels... I would put a lock on every nut. And I live in a safe neighborhood. You need to do this ASAP.

Windexed the windows today.
- and to follow the warnings, i sprayed the paper towel away from the car, then wiped.

and I found the middle rear seat belt... in the roof of all places.
- but the front buckles are still preventing those seats from going forward.

Installed the Visual Garage shark fin antenna on my wife's Sport. It looks (and works) great!



I also installed the door sill plates from zetaproducts.net - they look exactly like the factory plates but cost less than half as much.

Installed my arm rest, and tried plastidipping my Fit emblem - was a PITA taking it out of the F, so I'll redo it next weekend.

Also filled it up for the first time - 33.5mpg!!! I was only gettting 20mpg in my old car (09 WRX) so I saved about $27 in gas over 309.4 miles.

I like it! Did you drive without it installed, or did it dry fast?

It sat for about 5 hours after it was complete.
