frost king garage door bottom seal. Krylon fusion paint for color. note: if you're going to paint it get some plastidip as that soaks right into it with 0 peel. krylon doesn't stick at all and peels offs.

Well not particularly done to the Fit, but it will essentially be part of the Fit when the Fit goes out on circuit next.

Birthday present to myself that finally arrived today.

Wow, that's pretty and not a bad way to spend $1k on yourself. Happy Birthday

I bet it feels like you don't even have a helmet on... I would totally get that if I could afford it, heavy helmets are the worst.

First oil change yesterday, at 11,109 miles. It had been showing 10% for a week.

I also mounted a double power outlet to that curved metal plate behind the steering column. I used an add a circuit plugged in to the DRL slot. Now when I get a moment or several to play with dash trim, I can have my phone's power cord come out at the phone mount instead of draping it across the dash.

The handling is night and day! The rear tightens up and you can feel it even at low speeds. It does make the ride more bumpier than before ; but the trade off is it shines through corners. I tested it on the freeway on ramps and it feels like its on rails! As for the tire the wider tire makes it more "flat' I will report back when the tires manufacture coat is rubbed off.

Got my car back from the body shop today after severe hail storm put $5000 worth of damage (paid by insurance). I had the body shop paint the B-pillars glossy black (to match the glossy black truck piece).

My car is 2013 Midnight plum (purple)
I makes the car look more luxurious in my opinion

Now I need to make the lower trim glossy to match. The matte finish makes the B-pillars stand out.
