Other than that I'm going to be good for awhile, I might end up getting black Clazzios.
:tup: @ random orbital. :D

yah, the GD and GE are quite different, actually.

im running a tanabe muffler on my '12. model number is T70143A
it sounds good. not loud, not quiet, just right. :tup:

i forget where i bought mine... maybe it was one of the ebay stores....

it's an axle-back (muffler only) not a cat-back per amazon:

Great info, my biggest worry is if it hangs too low and this one doesn't look that low at all.

We will see what I end up with :tup:

yah, the tanabe pretty much looks factory finish and does not hang low.

the fitment is perfect and the exhaust tip is bigger than stock, and not ric0r look at all. :tup:

thing installed in like 10min. 9min was removing the stock muffler from the hangers as mine was REALLY on there snug even with WD40 sprayed into the hangers. :icon17:

Yeah no worries, there are a ton :)

yah, for most people, i think it's that or greddy, or spend a tad more on a mugen.

the greddy looks too much can for me so got the tanabe. :)

I really like the HKS and it looks like the DC that I had my eye on is for a GD so I can just wait for a little bit.

I took apart my dash and replaced the lens cover tonight, it was completely scratched from the previous owner :shakes head:

nice job on the cluster lens replacement. :tup:

yah, some of those 'detailing' places including the dealer's detailers uses those grit filled towels to wipe the interior glass and the lens. is just scratches the hell out of the soft lens. :(

That's exactly what I believe happened.

At least I know it's an easy fix so I can do it again down the line :tup:

yah, ive been VERY CAREFUL only to use clean glass mf towels when i wipe the lens. :tup:

Little update, ordered the OEM cover and was surprised that it was a pretty legit Kimberly Clarke Evolution cover

This is not the cheesy OEM covers that you get with most cars, this is a really good aftermarket one but it still has the Fit logo on it. I was also worried that it would be blue like the one in the brochures but as you can see it's just a mellow sliver.

lol..hahaha, especially in a hurry. :eekdance: :icon17:


so do you keep the cover in a tote bag in the car, or just fold it and toss it in your garage when not in use? :)
