I never hear of any Fit being stolen and just like the Z it has a transponder so it's very difficult to steal

I worry more about my wheels being stolen

ahh, you have a lo-jack installed, thats good.

yah, wheels are a hot item especially when it's the nice ones.

orderd up a radiator hose clamp today. i need to replace it due to extreme rust on the 09. im afraid it's going to break at the worst time.

need to do a coolant drain/fill anyway, so will take care of that in the coming weeks.

Getting this installed tomorrow along with an oil/filter change.

Hawk HPS Pads, Centric e-coat blanks, and Motul 600 RBF

What did you do to the bumper before you applied the plastidip?

You normally want to clean the surface thorougly with a Citrus-based car wash soap or any prepping surface cleaner

It does a good job of creating a protective layer with every surface you apply. It's been about a month since I applied it and it still looks really good

Pics from our recent Fit meet, man it made me want to keep modding my car and that is going to be a problem lol!

There were also a few different platforms that attended and hopefully going forward there will be a bigger variety of cars. GD and GE Fits, several Versa and Versa Note's and even a pretty cool Accord showed up.

Enjoy the pics!

Starting out with one of the most famous SoCal Fit's, Note and his Race-spec GE8

Loving the Q45 projectors!

Such an aggressive stance and overall look

Loved the wing, Note told me it was based on a Mugen concept

Such a cool steering wheel, DO WANT!

Massive Rotora brakes and SSR wheels, what a great combo

Chris' cool Versa hatch, you do not see very many of these on the road

Eric finally got a chance to bring out his GD Fit, this was the first Red GD I have seen and love the color

Mike's Note which will be going back to Tanabe soon so he is back on stock wheels for the time being

I hadn't seen Ron since one of our early meets, his GD was looking good

Stance looked good

Erik brought out his car again, fresh with repainted tips for his Mugen rear

He also added a JDP front lip which looked good and matched his setup well

My Panda

Good to see Kenny again, Fit was looking clean

Mike normally brings his G35 to our Z meet but it was cool to see him in his Accord on TSW's

Don's cool base GE with his uniquely modded hood

Wheel color and car color combo looked good

Another cool base with a great set of wheels

Always good to see Jason and his cool Turbo'd GD!

Haven't seen this car in awhile, was able to shoot the best angle of it

Another cool GD, loving the personalized plate!

This color was gorgeous in person, really liked the overall execution

Wheels went really well with the whole theme

Vin and his baller E-class!

Genji was able to attend the meet for the first time and he had some really cool mods, notice the vinyl on the side windows

Different colored spoiler was a nice touch!

I had a busy day today.

I installed a new gauge cluster lense (scratched the last one)

Installed the black shifter cover from the 2013 models (need to buy the black shift lock cover)

Washed the car and also cleaned the interior, too. Interior part of the build is done!
