What did you do to your GE fit today?
I get samples of 3M 1080 Wrap Film both in White Gloss (G10) or Carbon Fiber White (CF10), to compare which one looks better to temporarily wrap my JDP Vented Carbon Fiber Hood (while waiting for 6 months so the resin would really settle and ready for us paint it Taffeta White at body shop)
After careful discussion with my wife,
we choose the Carbon Fiber White (CF10).
I will order the wrap on eBay this weekend along with the other things for Setrab project...

Whats with the robotic looking shifter? Bring it closer to you as you rest on the arm rest?
I see it is height adjustable too.
Nice wheel, not sure if my insurance would like me removing the airbag though =/
Does it make steering any smoother/faster?

- Installed the driver's seatbelt bolt cover
- Finished installing the Mugen pedals after buying a riveter
- Got an alignment done... front left wheel toe was out from a huge pot hole 2 years ago. Hopefully this will fix the uneven tire wear on the driver's side.
- Installed the accord horn... wish i had this on the other day when a driver decided to swerve into my lane when i was right next to them - they kept moving into my lane even while my horn was going off the entire duration of the event. Didn't think he/she hit me, but i noticed a small scratch afterwards.
- Washed and reoiled the K&N filter
- Got a car wash
Hope to get some pics up soon from everything I've installed.

Got these side mirrors on yesterday but had time today to hook them up to my parking lights. 
Not a huge fan of the delay switching from turn signal back to parking light but all in all I'm satisfied with them.

That delay is exactly the same as my switchback turn signals, which would mean they would look sweet
Do you have a link for these?

Except that's just Wing Gundam. 
Alpina, I'm excited to see how the carbon fiber white looks on that hood. I debated between that and black.

I plan to order it tomorrow at eBay along with other stuff I need for my Project Air Cooler... as soon as I install it, I will post it here, should be installed in about 2 to 3 weeks max (hopefully)
I installed my extender this morning before coming into work. I like it, the position is good but the throw feels like stock again but I think I can deal with that for now. May buy the skunk2 SS and add it to my Mugen SS. I'll post some pics later.

Pretty sure they are these Door Mirror Cover w LED Honda Jazz and Fit 09 GE8 JDM | eBay
Actually, those are the jdm side mirror reps-- mine are a little different:

Reason I chose these is because the one you mentioned above has blue lights for the parking light and I wanted it to be white to match the rest of my lights. Also, it has a more VIP-esque look that flows with my car's theme

I'm my opinion it does feel more smooth, like I have more grip to the steering wheel. My stock one was wearing out and so I had to switch it up! The hub came with SRS resistors so no Christmas lights on my dash
and wiring for horn was easy.

I need an independent volt meter outside my scan gauge because I need the 4 available display on scangauge to display something else...
and while I was looking for it, I found this one on eBay,
It looks very nice, it have digital clock,
and most interesting is SEPARATE Outside and Inside Temperature (2 different Temp meter), which can be set to Celsius (which I am used to)...
It have a BLUE backlighting so it fit our interior blue them backlight color,
the voltage meter have low and high voltage alert,
the clock had internal battery so it won't drain our car battery,
it also do not have to be hard wired but come with plug in Cigarette lighter connector and a long outside temperature probe...
so this is very nice
I found an ideal place to mount it with velcro as the picture below, but I can't mount it now since my current Cigarette lighter splitter only have 2 outlet and all have spoken for now, so I need to buy a Cigarette lighter splitter with 3 outlet...
Pictures below... (oh the blue color can be change to Amber if you prefer Amber backlighting)...
I turn on the inside interior light to simulate how it look like in daylight...
and this is if in the dark (backlighting blue)

no car work until next month, but today I picked up this fantastic Knaak box. I need to make some small changes to my work bench and add some rails for the wheels so I can slide it in and out from under my workbench. For having such a tiny one car garage, this is a big win.
