I parked at our usual carpool spot this morning and almost curbed my wheels on the Fit in the exact same parking spot that I curbed my wheels on my 350z

Lucky for me that my tires have some meat on them otherwise I would have been super pissed

Finally put my Hella Twin Tones in after 6 months.

Louder, sounds less cheap when I hit the alarm button

Did you actually wire them into the secondary oem horn that's underneath the driver's side headlight? After I installed my Supertones they only honk when I hit the horn. When I double hit the lock button on the fob only that secondary horn honks. Makes me think that's the only one that ever honked when I hit the lock button. Did your new horns just automatically honk when you double locked? That secondary horn is too much of a pain to get to for me; didn't feel like removing the bumper and/or headlight to splice into it.

Secondary horn? Like for the alarm? I have a base with a dealership installed alarm which seems to have used the actual car horn.

I wasn't sure if this was the case or not, so I just took the stock horn out, cut the wire and ran the stock horn wire to the relay and hoped for the best. After I installed, I hit the unlock button and "meep" the Hellas sounded, so I was happy about that. The factory horn was ANNOYINGLY high pitched.

Hmmm. I have an '09 Sport but I wouldn't think the horn setup would be different. My car had the single horn behind the grill and a secondary horn (exact same horn as far as I could tell) beneath the drivers side headlight. And you said yours honks when you unlock? Mine only honks if I hit the lock button a second time w/ the fob. Maybe your car is a diff year or maybe they're just different for some reason... The only reason I ask is because I wanted the double lock to make the Hellas honk but it didn't work out that way.

Yes, those damn raccoons. Hit him going about 65mph. He wasn't dead either when we went back to look for the winglets hoping they were safe. He was about the size of an adult cat/smallish med dog. State trooper put him out of his misery since he was barely breathing and his back legs didn't work. He hit the bumper so hard that half the fur on half his body was gone from dragging my bumper down and hitting the concrete. New bumper, new ideas to be put out there. When I worked at Honda, I had a customer with a GD that a raccoon took of one of their foglights and part off their bumper. Damn raccoons
