Looking good.

Thanks!

I also was really annoyed with the DRL's and found this thread to disable them so I just did that too

All good, to each his own.

35% is too light for the rear, and I have had similar setups on other cars.

I liked BlueBeard's tint setup and that's why I did the same thing:

I didn't want to go too dark since this is my daily and I have already been pulled over in my Z before for too dark tint lol

If you're in the SoCal area and need a good tint for your Fit I highly recommend Window Tints Etc.

Window Tint's Etc - Lawndale, CA
We have the same tint! It looks great on your car. The visors will definitely compliment it. Consider getting some splash guards.

30/15 looks good!

I took today off as well and went to the beach today, seriously this car is perfect for surfing or bodyboarding. I can pack all my stuff, and not have to worry about getting anything wet or damaged since there is so much room!

I had been having battery problems (wouldn't charge) so while en route to buy a new battery, it dawned on me that it could be the alternator or battery and perhaps be a warranty item, so I went to the dealership.

Batteries aren't covered and much to my dismay, it was not the alternator but it was still cheaper ($89) than buying one at the auto parts store and it also saved me the (minimal) effort of replacing it myself.

I then went to Town Fair Tire to have my tires rotated (free) and they found a very small bulge where the side wall meets the tread. They would not re-mount the tire until I signed a form declaring I am aware of the issue or bought a new tire so I signed away and will just keep an eye on it.

I took the Fit to the beach again and had a nice surf session. Afterwards I installed the cargo cover but I need to take some time to install the rear flap.

Yesterday I bought SSR Type F's and Tanabe DF210's and had both installed:



I also made a build thread for the car
