Blox antenna
I have considered one, for me it would have to be an exact match paint wise, and look like it could be OEM . I've also considered a smaller mast antenna. So far I haven't found anything that motivated me... Got a recommendation?
Your Fit looks great, very class mods and a very clean build! I’m happy with the Blox mast... looks good, works good (no difference I can notice, certainly no loss). The bottom is cupped to dock perfectly with the oe base, seems to be well made, definitely superior to the no-name eBay joints. We’ll see how the finish holds up to weather, but it’s easy enough to plastidip or paint if it becomes necessary. Got mine for $13 on eBay, can’t beat that.

^^^ i think that blox mast would be damn awesome on your car rick. its elegant, and goes with the theme of your car. and less trouble/cost than a shark fin
I support this Black Roof Vinyl Wrap idea

JDM wiper mod...
I don’t know if I missed it, but I can’t do a good search as the terms JDM and mod are too short for search!
Rick, can you give us a quick rundown on any differences between the “original” process and the steps involved in the gk? There’s some pin breaking and rearranging iirc, and I’m just wondering how much of that still applies to our model.
Thanks man!

This is what I did:
Remove the hatch trim panel.
Close the hatch and crawl in from the rear side door. Remove the bolts and screws holding the motor to the hatch and the cover on the motor gearing. Pull off the connecting arm from the big white gear and the wiper arm lever. Flip the wiper arm to the upright position. Replace the connecting arm. The pin on the large white gear will go in the hole 180 deg. from where it was.
Reinstall everything in reverse order. Done.
Take 10 minutes eve if you're careful. It will end up in the exact same arc but rest at the top.

And FWIW, I finally ordered a generic 3" antenna mast today. For $7 I'll give it a shot...

One negative with the roof wrap on dd is if u get hailed on chances are that vinyl will get ruined when the PDR tech uses his glue puller. not that it’s da end of the world but would require rewrap. just a fyi..
but if i have dumb birds crapping on ur roof, its good protection.

I guess most of us are never really done modifying our cars. In that spirit this morning I installed a set of inexpensive "rear side pillar tail brake lamps". A few pics are below, more pics and info are here.

Since my disappointing experience with an aftermarket exhaust, I have been looking for a good looking exhaust tip to round out the poser build. is what I chose. Not sure if it is a genuine Akrapovic piece (probably not...) but it looks to be of decent quality.
It says made in Slovenia, but it came from China. It took about three weeks for delivery.
