What did you do to your GE fit today?
Wal-Mart matched Mavis online price . Get to inspect tires for manufacture date , if not acceptable time , no cost if denied . I think Mavis has a restocking fee . General tires are available at both sites . They may match other tire brands as long as they're at both sites and the business is within a 30(?) mile radius .
Finally have time to install All-Fit Lip today,
I do everything according to the install guide and I took my time in trimming the rubber so it can bend following
lots of curve on my bumper... so it took me 4 hours from start to finish hahaha...

I installed the today. I can't remember who recommended them but they suck. A slight tone change but no louder at all. I used the horn wiring kit from College Hills. I'll be replacing them soon.

Twins! How do you like it?
A relay is recommended. I have put one in my Fit and wired in a relay. The Seibel horn draws a lot more power than the stock horn.
Hey, been busy but have some stuff to share:
- Replaced Tein STech with stock suspension, my new job requires me to travel a lot and that involves rocky & bumpy roads.
- Got me an used cargo cover which looks BNIB, this one didn't come with the hatch clips so I went and ordered them from Hondapartsunlimited. I made sure the cover is sitting where it should however I've noticed it is vibrating, is there anything I'm missing like screws or something ?
- Got my new 15" wheels, 17 where too big now that I was on stock suspension.
- Had my bumper painted, had a lot of scuff marks from when I was lowered.
- Need to get new side skirts ASAP..

My New Throttle Body just arrived from Bernardi Parts today,
Was taking advantage of the 5% discount sale few weeks ago...
Originally I was planning to buy Spoon Larger Throttle Body,
but then I realized that Spoon do the Core Exchange Program,
which most likely mean, they get some used Throttle Body Core from a customer,
bore it out and sell it again as Spoon Larger Throttle Body,
but that also mean, they are selling a Refurbished Used One....
and I feel it is not worth it for around $800 to $850 including shipping, and get a refurbished throttle body..... who knows how many miles that core had been driven before refurbished by Spoon...
so I decide, I rather buy a BRAND NEW One here in US and get MaxBore to bore it out for me...
I will send it to MaxBore after I port and polish my supercharger because I need to have
the Sprintex Intake Elbow Gasket Match to the larger throttle body but that same intake elbow need to undergo Port and Polish first...
yap... kinda complicated hahaha
Maxbore offer fast turn around, so if I want to , I can take out my current throttle body send it to MaxBore and it should be back in total 1 week including shipping back and forth, but I only have one car and I need the car to be ready for work anytime I need it... so the only way for me is to buy a new throttle body... oh well.
I guess I can always sell my original one here or eBay
I figure it will cost about $750 to $800 with Maxbore and brand new throttle body (Including shipping and gasket match intake elbow) so it will be almost the same as Spoon but for sure my larger throttle body start life as a brand new one
Here are the brand new throttle body from Bernardi...

Oh haha true it's sorta loud in the cabin-- I don't hear it much though because I play my music loud
So I'm still looking for a new set of wheels, and I'm all over the place. Not sure whether I want to go 16x8, 17x7, 17x7.5, or 17x8. I kinda don't want to roll/pull my fenders but if it's the right set of wheels I'll do it. I'm torn because I want to go wider but not sure if it's worth the hassle. I know plenty of people have gone through with 8 inch, or even 9 inch wide wheels.
Thanks for the response. I think I'm just gonna wait on it, I have to get 2 new front tires to pass inspection. I think I'll eventually just get 16x8 RPF1's and roll the fenders, using the same tires that I have now. I really want new wheels, but I guess patience is a virtue.
