I've never had anything but great service with tirerack.

On another note that steering wheel looks great.

That may have been it. I called the verifying person and she wanted a school email or work email to verify. I graduated 2 years ago and my work email is a very "strict corporate" email so I didn't want to give that...but eventually everything got squared away so it should be here in a few days

They were nice about it, just its a pain to have to deal with.

Thanks! Getting a serious interior modding bug right now

Decided to get the Potenza RE11A from 4WO|Click Here for tires. Need high performance summer tires so this is a good choice and since most of my friends recommended this tire. Can't wait to try them on the road.

I worked with a guy that had that on his car. He crashed while playing with the controls.

I finally got it back after a week of my wife having it while she was out of town for work. Just took it for a nice little drive. By which of course I mean I beat it like a rented redheaded mule.

Finally putting velcro strips on the floor mats so they stop shifting. Only took me four years to spend a dollar on that plan...

Since I have received more than a few inquiries about the cf trim and red emblem here are some close up shots. (Disclaimer: the trim piece is only imitation cf, but see for yourself)

The "black cf" trim piece is the B&I 3D steering wheel trim from carid.com (honda fit specific) about 45 bucks

The emblem is the "Js Racing" emblem from grfxpstore.com. (J's does not officially sell just the red emblem, so all emblems claiming to be j's are replicas...good replicas, but not oem/jdm.

Happy modding!

For the 3D kits yes, for the 2D kits they do have "real" cf.

Yesterday, put about 5 hours of TLC in on the slow beast. Wash, clay, compound, polish and wax. It was like 34°C (38° with heat index / 100°F) and ended up losing 2.6kg (5.7lbs) in water weight. Would do it again, because it just looks too good when properly cleaned up.
