If you have a local CVS pharmacy it's 59 bucks. It paid for itself on the Murano premium gas.

Oh and my friend (Raton) says his stereo sounds better too. I told him he better not post that or he might end up like 08FitSport.

Wow, sound great. I do have a local cvs about 10min from work. Will check it out maybe tomorrow during lunch.

My wife is all about saving gas (she hates filling gas) so this will indeed make things worthwhile. Man, you shouldve told me about this before I did the dotty LED, tanuki. . Hahaha.

So wife isn't going to be using the GE today so again, I drove it to work.

Why is it that the GE feels so much bigger than the GD? Something about the visibility probably along with seating height and position.

Still can't get use to the AT.

I think your blue dot must light up better.
It's brighter in real life.

TOOL- nice~!

hey tanuki, my local CVS didn't have those xmas bulbs... they said they were all out.
will need to check out another store. might stop by Walgreens too.

so today was checking out the Z's speakers to see if it'll be a easy swap... given
that the tweeters are on the dash like our Fit's, i was like hummmmmmmmmmmm...
and there's really no other place to put the new tweeters on the doors if i was to
do a surface mount. hummmmm...

and i dont want some local stereo shop taking my brand new car apart yet risking
scratches and scuffs. lol

the speakers aren't terrible on the Z, but i know it can be further improved...

So I put the stock intake back on (it's real easy to do) and took the Z out for a spin to see if I can notice a difference.

Well, besides the noise there is difference in how the throttle responds at light and moderate throttle angles. Seems the stock map runs pretty rich in stock form.

The aftermarket intake makes the car more responsive and smoother to drive.
As far as max gains don't know. I'm still in break-in (~500miles).

Going to take her out again this am, G in the later pm hours.

so i looked at the rear fender on the quarter panel. i think i see the 'tab' that holds the rear bumper tip to the quarter panel...well part of that already sawed off by the tires and also a part of the rear bumper's fender arch. hahaha.

so, i looked at it (used my reflector tool and flash light) and thought...hummm.... not
much else i can do since i need that tab thingie there to hold the rear bumper. the tires pretty much ate through wat it can so i suppose i'm going to let the tires eat some more and touch up the paint that's missing on the quarter panel arch later on.
