Accept nothing less than an Escort product. Seriously.
9500ix is the one I use and it is close to flawless.

I think I'm going to hold off on the radar detector for now. Honestly, the Fit drives best when I don't push the car....plus I rarely speed anyway. The only concern is when I'm driving with traffic and I get pulled over for being Asian. 
and its a pita having to have to take it off the dash each time

yesterday i measured the length of micro USB cord i would need to buy to hook power to the Roadster2. ideally it's 8ft but will settle for 10ft as that's a standard length.
i also ordered up 2 rolls of clearbra from 3M which is 6" in width and 84" in length.
I measured i would need about 44 inches for the top part of the bumper facing the front, and another 29inches to do the bottom. was like $75 total. as long as it dones't cost me like hundreds to do this, it is worthwhile. otherwise, i would just get the bumper repainted after 3-4yrs.

also got a 4" width roll to redo my Z's rockers. one year and it's kinda scratched up with stains from berries the front tires kick up while motoring through the forest.

for today.... it's sunny here and no chance of rain (so they say 
) so motored my G to work.
obviously the drive was enjoyable and throttle felt responsive as it should with its V6 engine. looking forward to the drive home.
i will also need to schedule a time next month to pull the tpms out of the stock wheels... damn, just the other day i carried them into the basement storage. hahahaha. yes, i am lazy. 
after i do the clearbra i will head out to tirerack to get WS60's mounted on those TRM's probably. not sure, i might just ship the tpms there and have them mount it into the new wheels and tire combo.
that and tint and im done spending money on the Fit.

damn, the f-king landscrape artists scared me for a second when they drove in to our office parking lot with their truck. they were just here on monday to do the lawn why they here again when i brought my G to work?! 
their leaf blower guy blows pebbles and debris ONTO our cars and i have 2 little chips on the fender and a couple on the bumper from his arsework.
but they left without doing anything. lol so much for that. they did however stare a my G when they drove past her.

Ken, I'm having a hard time believing that you think that you will be done spending on your Fit... You will have so much less to blog about when you aren't spending on and doing to your car... Don't let us down by disappearing for another year because you are done spending..... Please!!!!
