What did you do to your GE fit today?
I installed my new Flux Capacitor. I'm gonna start small, though, just going back to earlier this week. Look for the post I'm gonna do yesterday...right after I synchronize my watch.

Got some new tires.

Turns out the previous owner put a hole in the tire and tried fixing it. It lasted me the 6,000 miles I've owned the car so far. Discount Tire said the tire was literally coming apart.
So since the Dunlops are shit, and I already had 23,000 miles on them, and I needed new shoes before winter, I figured just get a new set now.
Got Continental ExtremeContact DWS. I know I can't judge or review them for a while but man, these things fricken STICK to the road, I've never driven on a better tire. I hope I can still say the same 15,000+ miles from now.

Haha weirdo
Yea my Dunlops slipped in the smallest amount of rain, I'd be so scared to drive on them in Winter.
Got my new rims on, and a photo-shoot: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...rogress-5.html

Went to apply my HeadlightArmor foglight covers last night, realized I didn't have a spray bottle and couldn't properly apply the adhesive. Also tore up two screwdrivers trying to remove one rusty screw from the older fog.
Got the interior and engine bay detailed today after the missus spilled a small amount of coffee in the car yesterday (it was due anyway), she's in brand new shape again now. Engine bay looks fantastic.

Cutriss, good looking lights really make a car look better, even just cleaning them does a world of difference. Its like tooth whitening, makes one look younger. I have to admit, the fog lights were the initial reason I even considered getting the Fit Sport, and I'm glad I did. I hate to see areas of a car where there COULD have been something put there, but they didn't.

The thing giving me pause here is that one of my lights is brand new and super-smooth but the other one is 4 years old and the surface is definitely rougher. I mean, it's still clear but the pockmarked surface makes it look a bit cloudy on visual appearance. I was unsure if the film would adhere to it well.
Well, looks like it's me again.
I got home early from work to meet the vet, and then afterward, did this:

The CF garnish had the usual double-sided tape but wasn't sticking anywhere near to my satisfaction, so I grabbed some superglue to "help" it out.
There's a small gap between the garnish and the raised surface where the emblem goes, I'm not sure if I want to try to seal it with something or just leave it, as any water that builds up inside won't be able to go anywhere but right back out. I am a little more concerned about the grommet for the wiper post, I'm not sure if I don't have the wiper all the way on or if it was like that and I just don't remember it.

Looks nice. If you wanna be extra safe and make sure it doesn't come off you could use a two-part plastic epoxy that you can get plunger style tubes of at the hardware store for cheap. I used that when installing my jdm emblems. Be VERY hard to get off again though if you tired of it or wanted to sell it.

With different people having their rear wipers set at different angles, I'm wondering cutriss if your wiper actually goes all the way down when you use it(to it's original position). Others have their wiper pointing straight up and I'm curious also if theirs goes past the bottom of the window. Mines set at where it would originally be in it's fully upright position, so that when I use it now it doesn't go past the bottom of my window. Guess there's a mechanism in place to tell it where to stop turning?
I've wondered the same thing. Mine is just like yours, so it still sweeps the exact same swath it did originally, it just starts in the upright position vs the horizontal one. When I did mine it seemed like there was only one way to do it with the mechanism inside, so I'm not sure how others are getting theirs at diff angles.
