I already had the new covers with winkers installed. So just a matter of taking glass out and installing. Used this thread from Jephu - https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...ow-lights.html

Got the Buddy Club oil cap. Goes with my Buddy Club radiator cap. Just nonsense, but I still like it.

Looks good. You must be the first guy in the NA to have that.

All I did today was install the accord horn.

Put a polyurethane mesh in the front to prevent damage to the A/C condensor.
Going back to the dealer this week for door visors and a rear bumper applique.
Progress Rear Sway bar is ordered and on it's way.

New Member Here!!!

Purchased a 2013 Fit Sport 5 speed M/T

I will either get white, grey, or red (in that order)

Whichever the dealer is able to get his hands on....apparently manual's are rare in the sport!? Really?

Look forward to learning a lot from this site!

While replacing my license plate bulbs with LED's I broke one of the lenses so I just bought another one

Then after going back and forth with the OEM arm rest I decided instead to go with the Zeta for less than half the price of the OEM and just ordered that today too

I bought a zeta and could not be happier. Has more storage space then the oem one and just as comfortable imo

Have a Car Audio Shop install Sound deadening (CLD Tiles, Closed Cell Foam, and MLV Noise Barrier) on The Floor of the Car and on the Headliner of the car...
Too tired to do it all by myself, so I just let the Pro do it this time

Will post pictures later,
beside tomorrow I still have to go back to that shop to do my Rear Door...

My car is much quieter now,
I can hear other car's tire roar when I pass them on the freeway easily,
while before I didn't notice other's car tire roar
