I decided to go for a cleaner look on my tafetta, today I plasti dip'd by Front and Rear Emblem.
Front Emblem - Getting Ready
Rear Emblem
Starting to look good:
Final product
Spent about 2 hours, applied 3 coats and 30 mins between each coat. Used about half on a can. I can asure you it looks better in person. I don't know if its just me, but after the first time you use Plastidip you feel like using it on anything, I ended up plastidipping my iphone 5S case that was all scratched ahha. Anyways, thanks for looking.

well almost. they plug into the amber socket, but ull have to splice to the parking light or run a wire to the ignition.
Here's my Pivot compact drive ETC I installed the other day. Hardwired to the fuse box no issues with turning on.
Big difference from the Freedrive ETC I got from TWPanson 2-3 years ago. I've always felt that my throttle was a little spiky. But with the Pivot the throttle is smooth. No other way to describe it. To think the units look so identical to each other. You would imagine that the Freepower one is the oem 'unbranded' version of the Pivot.

I finally installed my JDM (OEM) Fit RED Color Ambient Light that I bought several months ago:

Turn out the installation is very easy, just plug and play (and little drilling and bending),
This JDM version do NOT have any Switch like USDM one,
it turn on when Door Open (full brightness) or Head Light On (half brightness):
this is how it's look like:

FINALLY got my Swift springs installed. I had to wait about 2 or 3 weeks because I kept waiting for a dry weekend. It didn't go nearly as well as I planned - the driver's side axle popped out, despite me having it on a jack and 2 bungee cords on it. We got that back on though, and once I brought the entire spring/shock assembly up to work to use our impacts, it went smoothly. Anyways, on to photo evidence!
Before:
After:
I'm probably going to plastidip these stockers since they have a decent amount of tread and I can't justify getting rims & new tires right now, but I want to do SOMETHING else to it.
Anyways, thanks to everyone here who gave such great reviews of these springs, I'm already digging it so far.

It really is! I used to think the Fit was a good looking car with a relatively low profile, but looking at the pics of it side by side - it used to look like a 4x4!

It's here! My Blox tie down bar has arrived. The wife found it hiding in the mailbox today! The blue matches my J's oil cap almost perfectly, too.
I also ordered myself a birthday present. One last piece for before the snow flies.
