I have AutoGlym interior shampoo. Smells like Old Spice.

I bought a 51R battery. My 151R only lasted 2 years. It'll be a tight fit between the airbox and headlight, but I bought a set of top-to-side and side-to-top terminal adapters to move the positive terminal fuse block out of the way. Will do the install tonight.

Google is your friend - Diy-Rpf1 Center Caps using oem honda caps - S2KI Honda S2000 Forums

I'm sure there are other methods and DIYs out there if this doesn't work for you. Just search the interwebs.

Can you tell me how you accessed the area behind the fogilight without needing to remove the lip or bumper?

Yes, so basically I jacked the car up as high as possible and took off all the underneath plastic. Then I could get behind the fogilight. My wiring was installed backwards. The oem harness clip is under the passenger side fender and my clip for the fogs was at the drivers side. So in that pic I'm just re doing it.

Installed CURT T-harness. Worth the extra cash to not have to cut oem wiring so i could put it back easily. It just plugs in between the oem harness and the tail light.

Including the fenderliner? Cause that sort of wedges behind the bumper. Man that sounds like a pain

Installed my new Interstate Battery D51r today. Couldnt do it yesterday due to the torrential downpours. Started unplugging my Scangauge everytime i leave the car. Hopefully that minimizes the battery drain. Hope this one is good.

Nothing could be easier than the rear shocks on the Fit. Air tools will make that bottom bolt come out and go back in a whole hell of a lot faster.

Bosch icon. They claimed to be aerodynamic long lasting even with ice. My old all season blades would move around and lift on the highway. No lift and clean windows. Wanted to try the rainex blades but they didn't have one small or big enough. The only back replacement was some cheap blade that doesn't work well.
