This is not what I did today but what I did last week.
I took a quick little trip to Hamburg in Germany and then to Skærbæk in Denmark...



Well, the "quick" trip took me 3 days each way and a total of 5300km (about 3293 miles) as I live far north in Norway

The "A" in my ARC Magic stickers on my winglets are torn off. I've tried for months, with no good results, to find replacement decals.

Should I just remove the original sticker altogether? Or should I just leave it as "RC Magic" just cause it's still the original sticker?

I'd leave them as is until replacement can be found.

That's the thing, they went out of business a few years ago and just recently came back but they haven't been producing much. The way things have been going, they might never come back out with the parts and stickers that I want.

Why not go to a sign shop and have them make stickers for you?

Cleaned the interior a bit, installed the a/w mats since winter seems to be fast approaching. And now it's being charged on a trickle charger.

Picked up a nice piece of metal in a two month old tire. -.-

Patched it at work but cord is showing through the tread, going to order a new when I get home.

Wow! Go figure the odds... Yeah I guess that's not repairable. Kinda surprised it didn't work it's way all the way in. That must'a made a thump thump thump when it stuck...

I wasn't even a block away from work when I picked it up so drove back to work and patched it. It was approximately a .75 to 1 inch slice in the tire.

It did make quite a noticeable sound on entry AND even more so when driving about 100 yards or so since I could easily hear it over my tunes.

New tire should be in tomorrow from Tire Rack... and I just realized I forgot to order camber bolts.

If I'm not making big quantities, the prices to replicate the original would be extremely high.

In addition, the replicas that I HAVE seen, are usually off in color.

I would just rather pay more for the real thing than fake the funk.

Maybe you should have had truck bed liner spray coated on the entire bottom and engine compartment or on a panel similar to the Beatrush... I've seen the underside of cars from your neck of the woods and feel lucky to not have to drive where that corrosive crap is put on the roads... It's still too warm here to open the windows at night.. The A/C is still in use though I did turn on the heat for a couple of hours one morning... It's been pretty dry here so we could have wildfires if it is a dry windy winter...

Will be detailing the car after work for a Secrete Santa show on Saturday. Great cause - really dirty Fit due to lots of rain. Luckily it is sunny and warm today. Next to the last car show for us - big one is next Saturday and then my MR is officially retired from being a show car. :0(
