What did you do to your GE fit today?
Finally got around to installing some car audio.

Your audiologist is calculating the boat payments he's going to be able to make from your business 
You *will* damage your hearing with that, absolutely 100% guaranteed, iron-clad, carve it in stone. Mark my words.

Replaced my decal dude steering wheel emblem with that ebay carbon red insert. Ended up getting the bigger version so I had to trim the sides and trimmed a little too much on the left.
Still waiting for jcwhitney to give something other than 10% so I can order the Lloyd floor protectors so I can put the mugen floor mats in

I put in one of those Japanese made air freshener, squash flavor :-). Just go the car 4 days ago. Have about 400 km on my first tank. About 6.7 L/100km.
Tempted to get the 205 50 16 Continental tires. Might pass on that as I would need winter set up here in Western Canada.

Changed the oil in my Fit today. It ended up being a bit of an unexpected adventure, but everything worked out.
Mid afternoon—go out, start car and warm it up for a couple of minutes to get the oil warm and free flowing. Shut the car down. Scrunch out underneath, with ratchet and such, and find the right socket for the drain bolt. The drain bolt doesn't budge despite my best attempts, though the socket does slip off once or twice, somewhat to the bolt head's detriment.
Mid to late afternoon—drive off to TSC, buy some ramps so I can get better access to the drain bolt. Drive home, eat supper, etc.
Evening—Put car on ramps, manage to get the drain bolt out. It seemed as though the garage had put it in with an air wrench last time. Drain plugs oughtn't be torqued like lug nuts, I believe....
Let the oil drain out. Try to remove the old filter, and discover that (a) it's also very tight and (b) it needs a different size filter wrench than the replacement filter (!). Eventually, I manage to get the old filter off via a process of mutilation with various implements.
The rest of the process was pretty straightforward. (Predictably, the fill cap was also quite tight—but not so tight that I needed pliers or a wrench, thankfully.) It should be a lot easier the next time around.

I don't know if I should mention Jo Ann fabrics again. Lol but yea any hobby place should have a dye pen. I bought a red one and painted over the oem white cover and wiped any excess on the leather.
