Vinny, which horns you have installed?
I used these sickspeeds in the grill and hella horns underneath behind the rear bumper cover, plus the factory horn (5 horns). I have a pic of them installed some place, trying to find them. The best write-up on how to install these that I've seen was from Java-Fit. I wired mine directed to the oem horn location "without" the relays But, I recommend you do the way it is supposed to be done with the relays.

Nice!!! 5 horns!!!! Other drivers have to hear that.... the stock horn just gets ignored all the time.
I'm planning on getting the Bosch Euro horns from Honda (Japan) & wiring them up to the stock locations since it's OEM. But also looking for an extremely loud air horn (deep tone) set up with a toggle switch for real emergencies (or just to be annoying... j/k)


I was looking at those type of LED's (on ijdmtoy High Power LED Daytime Running Lights, LED Strip Lights, LED Fog Lights ) right above the foglights, just not sure if I can they will fit, if not then just the straight ones in white LED. Then I saw the options for switchback LED's which can blink yellow when you signal, and white when not signalling, but that might be too flashy.
Like these (pic from ijdmtoy)


Too many options..... I'll probably just go with the regular straight white ones and wire them up as DRL's.... but won't get to this till I do the projector retrofit at the same time.

I made this wiring diagram awhile ago when I did mine. They really should be hooked up to the relay, so the proper amt of voltage goes to and from the right spots. Ive seen people that dont use it blow fuses left and right when holding down the horns for longer than a second or two...

Man I'd love to feel what it's like to row that shifter through the gears.

Reminds me of another "unique" mod I've been thinking about which is to raise the whole shift assembly up for an easier reach. I wanted to just put some spacers under the shifter base and use some longer bolts. My shifter is about 1-1 1/2 inches lower due to the lancer evo shift knob I put on it.

I drove my uncles BMW and the throw on shifter is like 3/4 of an inch. Mine is about 1 inch but its only wrist motions.

I tried making one for one of the fit guy's automatic up here but it didnt quite work out.

Dayum that's really awesome! But, being that you don't have a shifter boot installed what happens if you accidentally drop an object down the shaft opening

Same on the GT 500 I drove last night. I was wondering if it was even in gear cause it traveled maybe half an inch. I wish I had something like that in the fit without having to have a super short shifter.
