I swear that it sounds exactly like a short glass pack with a 3" diameter tip.

Which tend to sound pretty good surprisingly.

Just browsing YouTube - a Sunday ritual.

Check out this GE tripod-ing the trailing link rear like a VW:
YouTube - 2010.02.14

...and this one vs. a GD that goes to show what I mean about the Fit taking massive amounts of steering input. Are all Hondas like that? Took me a month to realize that is what the car needs, and wants. The light weight helps.

Here's a great idea to get rid of some of that road/wind noise:


see tape around door.

What do y'all think of those JDM mods I posted? The examples given might not be the best pics, but the possibilities are cool in my opinion. Those front flares might not line up with the usdm seams at the bumper, since they have different fenders and everything, but functionally, it should direct more air around the car.

If you look at the new civic EV, it has flares for that exact reason.

Also, I thought the vented wiper shell would get more attention. On a black, or dark colored car, it would look really slick in my opinion.

When I had a miata, Garage Vary was well regarded.

I think that vented wiper shell is nice.. It looks clean and adds a refined look, less econobox in appearance than the generic black plastic.... The tape on the door jams, is it tape or foam wind seal? Let me know and I'll do that.

The translation seemed to indicate tape. Looks like rubber quarter round.
