Nothing better then a clean fit always makes me happy

 

where did you get that?

 

Installed OMP Tow Strap.

 

Nice ride. Notice any improvement in the voltage stabilizer and strut bar? You mountain bike? You have crank brothers sticker.

 

Thanks! Having strut notice improvement on the handling but for the stabilizer honestly i dont see much improvement maybe i still need to add earth cable on it. No not a mountain bike it comes from my brother in law but i do have spinner bike at home.

 

Finally got a chance to wash my car and engine bay and take a pic of my recent upgrades

Injen Intake, Cusco Strut Bar, Progress Rear Sway Bar all installed the last few days to celebrate my 1 year anniversary of ownership

 

package for my projectors arrived! now i wish i had more time this week. can't wait for this weekend to get my hands dirty.

 

Very nice! I have the same intake, but I got mine on SRI mode.

BTW, where'd you get your front strut bar?

 

Great thing about this intake is we can go either mode

I had my friend Jeff from Micro-Image order it for me

What did I do to my Fit? Nothing...

But that didn't stop a pair of morons from hitting me. Got nailed twice in the driver side.

No dents or any real damage... just scuff marks that mostly rub away.

First incident was where I got stopped behind a bus that had stopped for passengers. I decided to wait for traffic to clear. With there not being a ton of traffic, it wouldn't take long, just a few seconds as I could see only a few cars. The woman behind me, however. She wasn't so patient. I saw a car coming, but it wasn't enough to stop her from swinging over and when she bumped into him, she swerved and bumped into me. Now there's two cars squeezed between me and the median...

Like I said, I was waiting for traffic, so I hadn't moved at all to moving to my left so they had the entire left lane and some bit of my lane to unsqueeze themselves out. Leaving behind two little scuff marks in the middle of my front driver side door.

After some eating, some shopping, traffic and more shopping, where I then had some douche take stuff from my shopping cart because he (or she, I didn't see) was too lazy or stupid to get it themselves from the fridge, forcing me to get the item again. And eventually MORE traffic just to get on the highway...

I get to the merger after the split (highway splits, but the express lanes merge into regular lanes). Some asshat decides he doesn't want to do the shuffle that merging vehicles do. After I let the guy in front squeeze in... he tries to force his way in front of me. Then he bumps into my door. After that, he swings around, flashes a badge and yells that I'm an asshole. Then promptly takes off. Of course, he doesn't get far with traffic and eventually wiggles his way to an exit some ways down.

He knew it was his damn fault, tried to bully his way in with his "SUV" (I think it was a Honda Pilot)... not that he had any jurisdiction anyway.

He left a single, but much longer scuff mark starting after the other scuff mark on my driver door down to the middle of my rear door. Oh, I went out to take a pictures... it's too dark for the camera, but I saw more scuffing on the rear door higher up. It's big and wide, but much lighter.

Yay for douche bags.

 

sounds like u need to move. hopefully those are just scuff marks not somethings worse. next time keep your shopping cart in front of u or leave a mouse trap.

 

I hadn't thought much about it... both incidents occurred inside Chicago city limits... and I live in the burbs. I wouldn't have even been near the first one, if I hadn't missed my exit and took the next one. I normally exit Touhy to Lincoln and then take Peterson to Uptown. But I was thinking about something and only realized I should be exiting as I passed Touhy and ended on Peterson. I don't normally exit Peterson because it's quite slow from the highway up to Lincoln. And the incident happened in the "slow" area (school kids trying to catch the bus!).

That traffic before that second incident was pretty ridiculous... took some 10-15 minutes to go a mile(i think?). Two lanes merge into one to cross a bridge, as they split back open, there a traffic light. After that traffic light... there's something that requires blocking one lane (all I could see was water on the ground, one or two construction "horses" and not much else).... so back to one lane.

In general, I enter Chicago maybe less than once a month.

As for the cart issue... I really didn't expect that to happen in Restaurant Depot.

 

Installed my Clazzios on Sunday. They are definitely awesome, nice upgrade and pretty easy to install. I need to do a bit more to the seat bases to fit them better but so far I like them a lot. And it should help with the dog hair/slobber situation.



Snapped a zoomed in pic at the dog park. I'm still diggin my little Fit!
Still need to get the windows tinted and at least some spacers on the back wheels until it gets lowered.

 

Good job on the seats!

I was able to remove the plastic around both seat handles and that allowed me to pull the cover lower on the seat bases. Yours look fine but if you want them really flush I would suggest you do that

 

Good idea. What did you do around the rear seat handles? Does the plastic trim come off easy? I see one screw there but was afraid to undo it and have the handle come apart or something? Tried tucking the vinyl on one side but seems it would work better to pull that trim piece up a little and then tuck it under.

 

Off topic question, but how do you get pics to show up when you're linking them. I've tried putting pics on Facebook and on Photobucket and can't get them to show up when I copy the link.

Only one screw then the handle itself slides forward so that you can remove the plastic cover. Might also have a clip in the rear of the cover but the whole piece comes off really easily.

I cut a small hole in the Clazzios where the screw itself goes in order to really tuck the seat and that made the biggest difference since it allowed me to really stretch the seat.

Let me know if that makes sense

Hey Dustin, you should see the [img] coding in Photobucket that you can use.

 

Thanks, I'll try that. I feel stupid, but just can't seem to get it to work. It would be great if this site allowed pics to be posted directly to the site, but I understand the storage issues.

Made perfect sense. Thanks!
