Installed drop in K&N. That was some serious wrench time and labor. Check out the K&N filter thread for pics of it installed.

Yesterday, we installed the LED Side Mirrors, Sport Grille with the red "H" badge, RS emblem at the rear hatch and HID headlights!

The list of goodies is adding up fast, real fast!

I ordered my Rear Bumper Applique
freaking loading up my car the other day some how got a small scratch on my bumper...ordering this will hopefully protect the paint a little.

Also drove 60 miles down to my buddies house to help detail some cars....
MPG 45 all hwy 75mph (by computer)..... Real world probably closer to 40-41 mpg) I'm still happy with that...

Can you post pics after you put the applique on? Ive been debating what it looks like on a SSM fit. Taking the stroller in and out, I made a small scratch too and I want to cover it up!

Today, I, uhhh.... I bought it!

Then I got it home and played with the USB audio input for a while, figured it out with a thumb drive, tried it for a while with an 80 GB external drive, but it's formatted NTFS, so that's a fail. I'm reformatting it FAT32, but I actually use it for other stuff too, so I just went to NewEgg and grabbed a 16GB flash drive that will be the permanent music solution for the glove box. Also grabbed a Garmin GPS and a TrippLite inverter for the car.

I drove from Hartford, CT to Baltimore, MD today. The long way, it took 5 hours, and none of it but the first 1 hour was any fun.

Rear disc brakes...nice! Did these come with the car as standard equipment or aftermarket?

We know that disc brakes are standard in certain SE Asian countries, but where are you located? Mars? (J/K)

Ordered all weather floor mats.

Also let my wife drive it - that's much scarier

We decided to drive over to Steveston, Richmond, B.C. to have a walk and lunch. She drove going and it was scary.

Developed a good appetite shortly after wards and had lunch at Sockeye City Grill.

Holy fit....sure thing!!! I actually ordered the 08 Sport applique. Bernardi Honda said the 08 fits on the 09 fine too. It was cheaper (~$11 cheaper) and covers just as much. I hate spending $36 for sticky sand paper...

"Note: Bernardi Honda has successfully tested the 2008 applique on the 2009 model. To save $11, order the 2008 bumper applique here."

My buddy that has a GTI said scratches are inevitable with hatches (this is my first hatch) he recommended the applique.
