What did you do to your GE fit today?
The quality is nice, they're pretty flexible. Install was a pain in the ass. They went on super tight. They turned out fine but I'm kinda worried about potential stress cracks in the future.
16x7 +38. The tires I have on them are 205/45/R16 and they're a little too wide for how low I am. Any lower and I rub a lot. I really want some 17x7.5 +45, but that will have to wait.

Installed the Tanabe Medallion Touring Axel-back last night. Took me about 40 minutes in total (first time doing any exhaust work). Sounds and looks great for the 50 or so miles I've driven so far. I'm a happy camper!

So I finally looked up my cars VIN to see if I was affected by the recall...yup.
I'm just gonna drive it until the parts become available in summer. I just don't want to have the deal with a loaner and all that stuff. It's a '13 so I figure time is more on my side than say an 09 but I will get it fixed.
Plus thats like 5 autoX races I would miss XD

I dont know about SoCal and quantity of Honda loaners, but if they dont have a loaner available they go through a car rental agency.
Here at Norm Reeves Cerritos they have you go through Enterprise across the street-- parents have had to do it a couple times. Usually get a Prius or someting haha. One time the dealership made a booboo with our Pilot that they kept low key so they let us use an Accord. I'm pretty sure they'll probably have you go to the nearest rental if applicable.

Takata Airbag recall. Recall Information for Safety & Defects | Honda Owners Site enter VIN. I can almost guarantee any 09-13 is affected.
I am in SoCal and it was an easy process. Like others said, if the dealer personally does not have a loaner system they will set you up with a rental company they are associated with. For example I had to walk across the street to the Hertz dealer for my loaner.
There is a document that SOME dealers are making you fill out that states you can keep your car, but you will not drive it except to the dealer to get the new airbag. It even states that you will not sell the vehicle too.
My dealer simply added a note in the comments section of my invoice stating "customer requests to keep vehicle at his property". Done.

Hey guys, today I got a new copy of my keys (only had 1) and readjusted my Tein Stech which were not sitting right, ride feels really smoother now.
I'm running 17x8 wheels and tires are 205/40/17; no rubbing so far.

Are those stock calipers painted blue? Or aftermarket calipers? Looks really good btw.
Any advantages in braking force? Or just OEM style but blue
Gotcha. What offset are those wheels btw? I'm impressed that you're lowered on 17x8's with no rubbing.
