I'd like to know as well, I'm planning on 45% next week but considering if I should go for 35 instead.

Got a couple boxes of goodies over the weekend...

- Weathertech digital fit floor mats
- Dome, map, cupholder, cargo & license plate LED's
- Removed the crappy front license plate bracket because front plates ruin cars!
- Vinylex'd the interior
- Washed it yesterday and it's raining nowww But I Rain-x'd all my glass so I didn't even need to use my wipers on the way to work

More to follow on Friday, can't wait!

Slapped on a decal while taking a break from making a DIY led arrow side mirror install video.

GF comment... "Hey you don't work for General Electric...."

Went to a Honda dealership and got an oil change

They said I need a new battery. The oem battery costs about $140 + tax...wth

Has anyone replaced their battery, if so, with what and how much?? $140 is a bit steep IMO.

Removed dealer plate frame. Washed it & cleaned the interior. After the weekend's over I'm planning on removing the spare tire, jack, etc... to shed the couple extra lb's. Anything for fuel mileage! Just hit 37 average mpg today

You can get batteries cheaper elsewhere. IIRC NAPA has a replacement that's a bit cheaper. Don't ask me the cost because it was forever and a day ago that I checked into it.
