I kind of like them.

New air filter. Old one wasn't really that dirty but was original with 18k miles on it.

Washed and waxed mine - sadly, mine was sitting at the dealership all year and its gonna take a few waxings to get it up to my standards, but it does look better than when I brought it home on Friday. Vortex blue pearl is a really nice color waxed.

Went to the dealer and looked into what a Civic battery swap would cost in parts. The battery tray is cheap enough, and *should* bolt right in. Thinking I should do some more upgrades while the battery is off just to save on future reset costs ($50 to disconnect the battery because I have to get the starter reprogrammed every time.). If I'm going to keep this car, I may as well enjoy it.

What's with the bigger battery? Big stereo? You sure you wanna go to the dealership for that? They probably charge a premium.

No clue what you're talking about here. First off why do you need a Civic battery????? And what do you mean $50 to unhook the battery and reprogram "the starter?" Surely you're not talking about the actual starter for the engine. That's not something that gets "reprogrammed." The only thing you have to do after you unhook the battery then hook it back up is reset the clock on your stereo. Oh and put the code back in for the radio to work if you still have the oem setup.

Glad to see you in a Fit, I'm loving mine so far and I have no plans of ever selling my Z

Just received my OEM cargo cover rack and installed. Nothing big but something.

If anyone has stock tail lights or wheels for a GE please let me know.
