Sorry, I ordered mine from Zeta, and it shipped the next day!


Tell us more about the forward facing turbo v-band clamped to the water/air core behind them!
Ya what gives? this @ home or work cool either way!
that pic was taken at the shop I've been working with for performance mods. Pure Tuning in Toledo, Ohio (PURE Tuning). Great guys, very friendly and informative, and they do great work.

I looked around for Mini wheels awhile back, because in my opinion they'd look fantastic on the Fit. I stopped looking, though, after finding out how much they all weigh. The thought of anchors at all 4 corners killed the dream for me.

Finally decided to install the accord horn
Then took it to O'Hare Honda for it's 2nd oil change at only 6K miles
Fit drew quite an attention and a few conversations with the techs and reps before taking it to the back... I brought it in with all my aftermarket parts and requested for a Mobil 0W20 syn... hold the carwash and tire rotation please.

BTW, check out this GE8 on their showroom... see something interesting???

hmmm I'm gonna be the pessimist here and say they had the wipers on when backing into the dealer and shut off the car before turning the wipers off.

I can't imagine a dealer would mess with a car prior to sale. (unless of course it was an 09 trade in and someone else did the mod.)

For me today... I did NOTHING as I was going to rotate out the Snows for the OE Wheels/tires and clean up/install the Yakima roof rack...

but...

IT IS SNOWING HERE!!!! WTF?????

Tomorrow it is!

What I did this week was unhook after market audio and replace all stock parts back. Then took it to the car wash to get it cleaned

as for my fit, I made the lovely addition of my very first scratch on her! Although it was only on the underside of the front lip it still made me cringe a bit..... luckily my JDP front lip should be arriving soon!

Tinted the car yesterday at Fresh Tintings in Chatsworth, CA. Legit business, highly recommended. They even detail your car when its done. Really nice people over there.

2011 Sport M/T PMM
Llumar CTX ceramic tint. 5% rear/rear-sides, 50% sides

A white GD drove in right after I arrived but they didn't seem to notice/care.

A couple hours after the tint job.


At the shop just after its bath.


It's driving me nuts that I cant open the windows for a few days, though... I need to put tape over the controls or something so I don't accidentally do that. lol

Put the Stock Wheels back on after having the winter wheels on the car for almost 4 months.

weighed the stock bridgestones/sport wheels and with about 20K worth of commuting rubber rubbed off, they weigh in about 36lbs at 35psi. The 15" Acura Mesh Alloys with the Altimaxx Arctic snows (w/ slightly larger overall diameter) weigh in at 34.5lbs with only 4k miles worth of commuting rubber off. Makes me wonder how light the integra Mesh wheels are as that general Altimaxx Arctic I would think weighs more than the bridgestones.

Also prepped the roof rack. not enough time to get it on today... that'll be an after work tomorrow project.
