Installed the dash mat I purchased. Now the 3 foot dash has protection.

Fronts didn't fit like I was hoping... Maybe some negative camber will help them fit better?

What tow hook are you using? And how did you get the si emblem to stick in the front that looks sick!

I found the si emblem on eBay it has two bolts for grill mounting instead of 3m tape! The tow hook is koncorde or something like that. Not impressed with the finish on the Neo chrome.

Chitownfit rides again! :-)

Just bought a manual GK . This is my 3rd Fit and I have to say, holy extras Bat Man! There is so much stuff in and on this car that it'll take me weeks to learn it! Already I want to put a side exit exhaust and a custom intake cause, well, that's just how I roll!

Why would you put an SI badge on anything other than a SI?

Im making it my version of an Si. If there was a Fit Si I would have bought one. But there isnt so I am making my own. You can ask many many questions all day long. Like why would you put an octopus on the side of your fit? Why would you put carbon fiber vinyl on your hood? etc.

isn't an RS emblem more appropriate?

Today I made custom window inserts with Reflectix material for all the windows in my Fit! (blocks light) I'm taking it on a month long road trip and plan on sleeping a few of the nights in the Fit (or want to be able to, anyway). I'll post a thread about it later. :-)

Installed Swift sport lowering springs on my EX-6MT. Not the GE springs either, I mean the latest GK set with a 1" drop. Will follow up by this weekend with a more thorough review in the suspension section of this forum. Best mod I could've made to my 6-month-old.

Would like to see this, WagovanMan; hope to find your pix/link to suspension post when available.

I'm guessing not just because of how different it then is

It was pretty easy... It's still a project in the making. I completely removed the spoiler then put extended bolts in the center two bolts holes. I think my next step is putting adjustable splitter stansions on the outer bolt holes to give it tilt adjustment and a little bit more stability.

Set the tire pressure to the correct amount.

After 30 days of ownership the tire pressure warning light came on. I checked while cold, all were at 37 and so I lowered each to 32. That sure smoothed out the ride. I though I once heard you should always check the pressure on a new car because the dealerships tend to put in too much.
