Yep! Forgot to mention but I did replace it with a new drain bolt plug and washer. Not trying to play with that much fire for $4 haha

Hey all,

Completed my air shock install with a custom built wireless remote air management system. Works great with my 5x8 trailer! The info on my 2017 thread starts at post 47 and onward. Here is a video I made for @CyclingFit when we were discussing various ideas to refine the setup. Hope this helps others looking to do a similar setup. The biggest question I've been asked on the facebook groups is will this setup "slam" the fit to the ground for low ground clearance. In theory it is possible with the change of the spring, but cant comment how well it would work. Setup I designed to raise my Fit to compensate for the weight of the trailer tongue so the car would not squat. No bottoming out, and its all easily adjusted with the push of a button.

RS spoiler installed

I finally had a chance to install my RS spoiler yesterday. Not like there’s anything else we can do.

That's a nice, neat garage. You should see mine! I see you're not very far from me.

A shark fin antenna would look good in place of that black stick.

Yeah that's the garage where I work/live. I have nothing else to do or anywhere to go so I've been cleaning the shop this week, staying out of apartments full of UMASS students lol. I have been looking at the shark fins actually. That one on there is a carbon look one.

Very easy - adhesive, and you can remove it, if necessary. The wires from the stock antenna connect to the shark fin.

What's the difficulty rating on installing the RS spoiler? Brake and wiper sprayer still work?

stayed the same for me.

thats the cool thing about beat-sonic, reputable brands typically have r&d into this kind of stuff. otherwise people would hate their products, leave bad reviews, and no one would dare spend $1 on beat-sonic stuff ever again




just listed mine on ebay:

The plug that comes on the wing is ALMOST plug and play. I tried to get that little B to plug in and gave up. I spliced the wires together and use shrink tubing to protect it.

The spray nozzle I did end up deleting, because it doesn't really line up right, plus the wing design isn't correct for the nozzle. I never used it anyway, and I am thinking of deleting the wiper also. I don't really care for the offset wiper to begin with, and it's not really necessary.
