Had my 205/50/16 Michelin's installed the Dunlops had 27.5k on them was getting dangerous in the rain. The installer had problem getting my Fit on the ramp saying because it was lowered. Only have Eibach Prokit. In addition took longer to get tire on Sport rims installer said because of them being low profile tires. Did not look that way to me my regular guy has been recovering from a operation so when he gets back I will have him do the camber bolts and alignment.

That guy's an idiot. The 205/50/16 has the same height sidewall as the stock 185/55/16s. I have 205/50/16 and love 'em, good choice.

Agree really like the Michelin's lots of tread and great reviews never consider them low profile tires actually don't look remotely low profile. That is the the reason I decided not to have my camber bolts installed and the car aligned at this place. Will wait on that until my brother-in-law who manages a shop gets back from his recovering from a recent operation.

High quality start, and/or finish!

Didn't do anything to it, but took a few phone pics. Everything is still on hold until sprintex comes through, then the fun begins.

Yes. It's very basic to install. I got them at JHP USA for under 100.00 with free shipping. AJR is 125.00 plus shipping.

Since the mirrors are convexed on both sides, visibility is much greater than OEM. Although you do need to be more careful as objects look much further away than they really are. Here's some more shots.

I'd love to have a pair of those mirrors for my GD3.. I have about $2000 worth of stuff I still need to install and really don't need to be looking at more to buy but besides looking great those mirrors do lower wind resistance..

Hey you mirror dudes: Do you have to remove the whole door panel to swap out the mirrors or does that little piece of plastic right behind the mirror just come off? Gonna do mine Friday.

if you want to unplug the harness at the connector, then unpin the connector to keep the stock mirrors whole, yes you have to remove the door panel.

if you just want to cut the harness, then no. lol.

Hey, those are nice mats. They look like a better fit than my WeatherTechs, which have also started to curl! How much were they?

that is a nice mat, better than my Honda All Season mats.

So, i took out the rear seats today... it was quite easy. Such an elegant, yet simple solution these magic seats...

I really liked how my car drove w/o the back seats. That's why they're still gone
