Update on my fit.

Since I bought it a few months ago, I've got the mugen front under spoiler, Red honda badges, and BC racing coilovers, wheels will be here hopefully within 3 weeks, and then she'll be SC5 ready. Any other florida or roadtripping fits going?

raise it up just a HAIR in rear, then space the rear wheels out a touch. Once you get a rear sway bar, the extra track width helps IMMENSELY

I'm getting wider wheels and lowering the front and rear down much more gopefully.

But I feel you on the sway bar haha, the wind makes my car its bitch.

Klutch SL1s. Melbourne/Viera FL, probably about 3-4 hours from you.

Couldn't tell you, had it shipped in to the dealer, and they put it on.

???

you mean like this?



That took a lot of effort between me and the sales guy on the day I bought it (last year). And yes, it was completely inside. The handle bar is sticking out because I had already started to pull it out before deciding to take a picture.

What I usually did later in the summer (when taking it to work) was take the mirrors off, lift the back of the Ruck onto the car and roll it in enough for the front wheels to touch the bumper. Of course now the hatch wouldn't close, so I wrap my sweater around the handles and bungie cord everything down (Ruckus and hatch).

that looks like a great way to scratch up your interior

hahaha, i too do not like scratches in interior panels.

best way is to coat it with PrimaNero BEFORE you have any scuffs. it minimizes scuffs significantly. i mean, you cant take some sharp metal and expect plastics not to scuff, but if it's just ordinary scuffs like from bags or boxes, shoes, etc, Nero will help prevent them.

A) my seats have covers and I have the cargo tray... and the handle bar has a rubber grip. But the taillight was the only thing that could... and did make any scratches (minor).

B) I can't worry about scratches anymore... if I did, I'd go crazy since I have a ton everywhere, inside and out.

With my other loading method, I did mess up my rear tint when I neglected to cover the handle bars. The controls came into contact with the hatch window and carved up bits of tint. And of course, with the way it sits, the gas tank scratched up the plastic around the hook for the hatch lock.

c'set la vie.
