Nicely done.

Also love the seat covers. Is that a leather cover on the armrest?

 

Nice seat covers. Which ones are they? How do they deal with the side airbag?

 

Finished and installed my Orataro VIP table

 

Those would be the Clazzio seat covers. Quilted Black on Black. Comes with everything including the armrest cover. They use a different thread in the airbag area's which they claim won't effect the use of the airbags.

 

Slick innovation orataro; drive through, curb service, and sit-in, all in one elegant package. Should certainly turn a lot of heads at the show!

 

Wife and I were bailed out of an overnight delay by a kindly young man and his Dad in their pick-up in June, stuck in mid-NC with a dangling engine splash screen, and no tools. So, while visiting Advance Auto Parts today, I noticed their cut-rate tool table and assembled an emergency tool kit for permanent residence in our Fit. It is small enough to tuck neatly into my cargo carrier. Shooting for the basics here (will also slip in my vintage metric socket wrench set), but any suggestions for additionally needed items would be appreciated. Happy Trails!

 

In the third picture, what's that contraption on the garage wall?

 

Maybe some silicone repair tape, electrical tape, twist ties, utility knife.

Larger items that won't fit in your tool kit but you may need: jumper cables, medical kit, tire pump. Can't think of anything else right now.

 

Thanks BenQuick, I carry the cables and pump separately, and will definitely look into the rest. I Throw in a first aid kit on major outings, but will give permanent assignment another thought.

 

Added some tire letters today. Messed up the first install so I only have the fronts done. I'll drive around like this before I read order extra letters for the rears.

 

You mean my gas meter or the access panel to my breaker box?

 

When I had a Cube, I made the mistake of getting the Nissan interior LED accent lighting kit. It was murder to install and very expensive. Then I came across a lighting kit with four LED strips of varying colors for maybe $50 on ebay, and I have them in my Fit - much better. I put one under each front seat and two more under the dash. They rotate colors every few seconds - or one solid color, or flashing to the music.

 

Just installed here's the info.<br/>Amazon purchase<br/>-Headlights H4 stark 6k lm<br/>-H8: Calais fog golden color<br/>-7440 Partsam rear reverse led lights

Want to try this lets see

 

I'll have to get those LED reverse lamps. I'm all LED inside the car.

 

Ask and ye shall receive.



I don't have a picture of the back, but both the black and the red stripe on the grill are PlastiDip.

Lots more in my build thread.

 

Danny thank you looks very nice! I will take a look at your build thread

 

Gas meter. Thanks.

 

Hey all!

This weekend I had to take apart my bumper and passenger headlight fixture to reset the headlight. I got into a small fender bender and I really didn't have the money to cover my deductible, and since it wouldn't void the pre-owned warranty, I just decided to JB Plastiweld, and reattach the bumper since everything was still intact (save the headlight mounts)

So in "classic Fuzz" fashion (as my friends would say/call me) I decided to do a little chrome elimination because...well...I despise chrome and think it looks tackier than a six cylinder Mustang with flames. (or any mustang, really)

Enter the plastidip (or in this case the Rustoleum Peel Coat).

I covered the chrome on the front and back, and reversed the badges.

I dig the way it looks:




I'm going to black out the chrome on the plate frame, as well.





the side I fixed

I'm going to look closely at the laws in Massachusetts because I'm fairly certain it's legal to have smoked lights so long as your headlights reach 30+ feet in front of your vehicle.

For anyone curious: It is TOTALLY LEGAL to have exterior, non-blinking, lights on your passenger car so long as they are not Red or Blue, and your plate is visible from a minimum of 30 feet away in the state of Massachusetts. (I checked because I want to put purple ground effects and plate lights on my car... talk about tacky :P)

But in addition; I'm going to black the rims, get a plate cover, and pull the FIT and Atamian badges off. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Also: does anyone know a good way to take the silver trim off the dash? I'd love to either black or white those out, but I don't want to pull my whole car apart to do it.

 

Are these just plug and play LEDs? Everything I've read up to this point (which admittedly isn't much) said you have to retrofit the LED bulbs.
