Hay guise I know it's been awhile but I thought I'd mention that there are many updates on their way in Januray...

Correct sticker.


WOW, you learn something new every day. I NEVER knew that! Awesome.

Almost makes me want to put my splash guards back on when I get some wheels.

Sooo I've been meaning to update this for awhile and finally got the chance to do it.

Here's a problem you guys probably never have!


Here's what I did.


2011 CR-Z under engine air diffuser.


Tada!


Some more goodies


Pedals installed


Towhook and license plate bolts



Dumped the backseats (-70lbs)



New shoes!



Sneak peak



And finally the latest addition
Progress 19mm rear sway bar



Uses OEM bolt holes! Any beginner could (and definitely should!) do this mod.




I've also installed 3000k (yellow) HID's, but no pictures yet.

Woah. Is that perfect fit? Bolt holes align and everything? Or did you have to do some fabricating? Eitherway, thats a good idea. Would be good for people with CAIs or just dont want water/mud/snow splashing up there.

Not to mention probably some increased fuel savings? Mostly on the highway though I'm sure. The shape is perfect, but you will have to be creative when it comes to bolting it up. Took me maybe a half hour of being picky, but it fits great! But yeah as I work at a Honda dealership, I get alot of opportunities to work on the CR-Z and see what could be compatible with the GE8. And I get parts at cost + 10%, so it's not difficult to experiment!

Did I miss how you mounted the CR-Z under engine diffuser? I think I need to try that...

Dropped by the shop to do some work today..

Did my first B service on the car

Finally got the front towhook on.






I'm driving the Fit to California in April for the Coachella music festival, so today I added a triple thick layer of undercoat to all the wheel wells and undercarriage, and added some 2"x10" strips of Dynamat to the spare tire well in an effort to reduce the road noise while on the highway. I definitely feel like the car rides much quieter inside now.

Any chance you have the PN for the CRZ undercover? Im trying to source one online but for some reason CRZs dont show up in dealer part look-up...probably too new.

Does it really make a difference by putting strips instead of sound proofing the entire spare wheel area?
