What did you do to your GE fit today?
I need to get my springs for that car. It's a garage queen so I have been slacking on lowering it more.
Good looking!
Installed 10000k HIDs from ebay. Metal ballasts, smooth bulb warmup (no major flickering, and not instant on, which kills bulbs fast)
Awesome price and appearance for $50, which included the battery relay harness integrated.
Highbeams are a crystal blue halogen I believe, so maybe 8000k?
No glare, good cutoff, and if it doesnt rain tonight I will grab a picture to show em off

Nice retrofit! Ls460R with xbaled rings? Do you have the clear lens conversions?
Got the same setup as you except my paint job is a little different.
Filled up a full tank down here in Portland last night.. Only 30 bucks from the gas light to full, a full 10-20 cheaper than anywhere I could fill in Canada lol. I should just stay here haha.

Aloha jdmj0,
Just admiring your new mats.....was thinking of getting the Husky version but these Aries Maxspider ones look much better.
May I ask where you got them.....local dealer? FF merchant? cost?
Just bought my 13' Fit Sport a week ago and all I've done to it is a tint job.....looks like we're close by to each other....in Waipio.
Thanks!

Hi Fit Owners,
I'm a recent new member as I bought a 2013 fit 2 months ago. Today after a little savings I bought a new cargo cover for my Fit Sport. But to my surprise after installation I have a 3" gap between the rear seat and the cover. I'm trying to upload an image so give me time. I spoke with the dealer from the parts department and he was surprised also and is calling the "Mother Ship" and will get back to me but I was wondering if anyone has the same problem. I often drive into cities such as NYC and this gap is very obvious and will allow thieves to see what is in the trunk area. I bought some black felt so I can figure a design to attach to the underside of the cover but it will take some time. Anyone else have a solution?
The part was checked and correct for the 2013 model.
Thanks Grunthaner

Tried to apply my Work stickers onto the wheels... pretty sure I got a bad/old set. 
Purposely waited until the wheels were off the car, I have them inside my condo at room temp (much to my wifes objection lol), and the stickers will not come off the backing once stuck to the wheels. I prepped the wheels, washing them with dish soap to remove any grease/oil/tire shine, then went over the areas with isopropyl alcohol. No dice.
I've never had stickers this difficult, which leads me to believe I must have gotten an old set or something. Thankfully, after talking to my shop, they contacted Work, and they're going to send me a new set or stickers.
Figures this happens on the most expensive set of stickers I've ever bought lol

bought some Bosch icon windshield wipers for my fit had to get 13A and 28A because they didn't have 14inch ones and that is what it stated would fit my fit
(Ironic isn't it!) on Bosch's Website. I've been debating whether to put them on now or wait till the ones that came with it wear out an need replacing. Very daunting question in my mind that's for sure hopefully I can figure it out.
LOL!

Are the lenses just blue tinted or auto dimming (likely not but would be nice)....
