Thumbs up Hi Fit Family... Meet you cousin

Hi,

My name is Desmond. January 12th, 10yrs and a week to the day i was in a major accident that left me Quadriplegic, I totaled my 08 Acura TL. I decided to be a FIT for its great utility. I was set to buying a 08 until my Vocational Rehab councilor was against it so I bought an 08 Accord EX-L Navigation. I purchased a Tafetta White '13 Fit Sport w/ Nav. I have a lot of plans. Already have bi-xenon lights, yellow fogs, & LED interior lights.

Thats not right

How did you total a 08 Acura 10 years ago? That's not right.

1.) Civic with ITR swap sounds cool.
2.) I'm truly sorry about the accident, but you seem like a rad dude. Continuing to do what you enjoy after that experience, kudos to you!
3.) Mind letting us in on these plans?

Oh, and welcome!

Waiting on hand controls to be put back in it. Once we take it there, it'll be there a week or two followed by leather interior, and Honda's nicer arm rest. I'll install all the light with one of my life long buddies that a 15 year Honda/Acura mechanic. I cant believe how cheap these kits are. Got true bi-xenon kit ($52.00) shipped from Amazon. If they work nice I'll buy my momma a set for her 2013 EX-L/ Navi Civic since night driving is a tad straining. I missed this place. I've been reading the last month when I decided this is the car.

So let me segway to a question. In most pix i see of Navi, it shows FM-Traffic yet im failing to find where to turn it on.
