I like it, looks like its RDX based

That sucks mine had a chip in the windshield on the passenger side when I bought it. Supposedly it wasn't all the way through but I swear it has gotten bigger. I am hoping that it is just my mind playing tricks and I won't have to replace it anytime soon. I already had to replace my Z windshield this summer for a crack.

Keep an eye on it, that's normally when it expands

From what I've been reading it can expand if you run the defroster

kenchan · 11-12-2013, 12:02 PM

yah, i definitely need to keep an eye on that crack.

Side note, I hosted Fit-specific meet on Saturday night and we had a good turnout:

Quote:

It was great meeting everyone, we had over 30+ cars show up so it was a great turnout for out first meet. Here are my pics

Great lineup of cars

Rick's dope setup

Love this rear setup with the J-Speed tails and JDP rear spoiler

Marco's setup was really clean, love the color

Turbo GD on Buddy Club's was looked great

Clean your engine bay Johnny

GD & GE

Digging the RPF1's!

Totally copying your setup and blacking out my rear when I get it repainted

Didn't get to meet the owner of this car but I really liked your setup!

Andy's dope setup

Rey's clean setup on NT03's

This was the color I had originally wanted, I am digging the sport grille and Enkei's

Zeebrah's unique setup, I dig it!

Another clean TW on RPF1's

This was another cool GD setup, sorry you had to deal with the "meet mascot" and his weird questions. This guy shows up to our Z meet and we try to ditch him lol

Strategically placed stickers :thumbups:

Patrick's super cool Rasberry!

My buddy Mike's Note was getting some attention

Paul's GD on white wheels, I like this theme

TW's were probably the most popular color of the night

I like your mods Juan, you convinced me to get LED tails!

Chris's nice TW, sorry I didn't get a better pic

Last but not least, my TW on SSR Type-F's :thumbups:

He was like "are you going to hold a Toyota meet too?"

I was trying to ignore him but he kept tapping me on my shoulder

I want these tails

kenchan · 11-12-2013, 03:25 PM

those tails kinda remind me of my G35C's tails.

hahaha.

looking at all the poke, i guess my GE's light poke is insignificant.

wheew. i dont like wheels/tire sticking out

Just passed six months of ownership a few days ago and could not be happier with this car.

After holding our first monthly meet and seeing several different taillight setups I decided to pull the trigger on a set of Depo Clear LED RS Taillights and I spent some time installing them yesterday

OEM (top) vs LED's (bottom)

Closeup of the light

Rear comparison, just like the stock plugs and linings so no modification was needed on my part

Removed the OEM light and masked off the area so I wouldn't accidentally scuff the area

Closeup of the panel, I actually ended up losing one of the bolts down this section but was able to Jerry-rig a magnet on the end of a screwdriver to get it out

One light in

Late afternoon sun, OEM (left) vs LED (right)

Then my neighbor stopped by with his Pomeranian Winston

Finally got both installed and I drove a few blocks and took some shots

With the lights off

Lights on

Side view

Front shot

Side shot, lights off

Far shot with just the lights on

Far shot with the lights on and blinkers on as well
