I replaced a cracked foglight and applied some yellow foglight film from Headlight Armor to protect them in the future.

I also replaced a bent weatherstripping on the rear passenger door.

It's nice to see this thread is still going strong. Keep them coming.

Today I added weather stripping behind my driver side and passenger side window sill to stop the windows from rattling when partially down. So far so good!

reference thread....

I'm thinking about selling my TW caps, so if anyone in a TW base wants to upgrade, shoot me a PM.
How much did you pay for the base model mirror caps (from the dealer)?

"Today" (Friday 29th)

I got my first oil change... I left the house at 6002 miles on the odo and a 5% minder... got to the dealership with 6007 on the odo and a FLASHING 0% minder. >.<

Yeah, my driving habits and my delivery job aren't a combination for long mileage oil changes. But I pulled 6000... actually, only 5987, since I picked it up with 20 on the odo... more than any other car I've driven.

Oh, and I got "fuel" for myself AND the Fit. =.="

Just finished up installing the J's titanium front pipe to mate up with the rest of the exhaust. New piece- .75kg(1.65lbs), stock piece- 3.6kg(7.92lbs). So total exhaust weight savings is about 19.5lbs and it sounds nothing like 1,496cc. My neighbors might not like me though if/when I come home from late night drives.

This was a few days ago... but:




Added a set of cheap pedals from O'Reilly Auto Parts.

They're ugly as sin... I'd have preferred plain black, but they serve a utilitarian purpose:

1. The accelerator is wider and more comfortable
2. The accelerator is taller
3. The brake is wider, which means I don't have to move my foot so far to the left to brake. I hate having to have the wheel higher to let my knee clear to get my foot in position to push the brake.

That's what the guy at the dealership did too when they rotated my tires, brought them both up to 34. I figure that I'm probably going to need more as the temps drop some more.

That's probably going to be the only time I let the dealer rotate my tires, I had a "new client" coupon that made the oil&filter change with rotation for $33 (37 and change after tax).

Started the car this morning and the tire low pressure indicator light came on, checked the pressure in all my tires and my rear passenger was low at 22psi. Upon further inspection I notice a small screw in my tire, I then took the screw out and plugged and inflated the tire. Hopefully it holds.

Returned 2 different sets of Cover King Neoprene seat covers back to Costco, w and w/out armrest - weird that the fit was so poor on both models.

I had the rear bumper applique, door sill trim, and the rear cargo tray installed, couldn't do the side door molding done though because of the rain yesterday. Bought Lloyd aftermarket all-weather mats...seem to work ok. Oh and bought and using the Cover King dash cover for my dashboard. It's a giant, but has the appropriate cut outs for speakers and vents, and airbag.

Coverking - Custom Seat Covers

the seat covers were comfortable - only the way they were designed - the ones that would fit the car best would be the ones w/out the armrest - they have a cut out part for the side seat airbags - I reversed them just so I could put them on while I waited for my new seat covers to arrive, the ones designed for the front driver seat w/armrest. Only when the second set arrived, they had side zippers and did not fit easily and I gave up on trying to install them + the armrest cover is just a flimsy little elastic cover, like you'd put over the steering column (in fact they threw in a second one for the steering column).

It almost felt like they sent me two sets of rear seat covers...they definitely did not fit as well as the first, but both sets did not fit absolutely flush to the seat.

I'm not sure - I may try ordering again, and ordering thru Costco gives you that freedom of returning at any time
