Small photo of the day



Weather Tech front mats for the Fit. The damn ones from the parts store are rubbish, don't stay in place, don't fit right... I'm not splurging to get carpet mats for this car but nice ones to protect the car in winter seem worth the investment.

Next purchase will be



this car does not come with a foot rest at least in auto version... carpet is getting chewed up there.

Kept the White & Blue plates for the S, even though I would have preferred the new Blue & Gold.

When they told me they cost more I decided greedy NYS has enough of my money.

The cost to re-register the S has doubled in the last few years.

I dont have a custom license number or plate. I decided to keep with the white & blue for the exact same reasons as well.

It was $65 for two years to keep the same plates, $85 for new gold plates, and ~$100 for the new plates with the old number.

The old plates probably look better on Laguna anyway.

yep! thats what I thought too when I recently saw a Laguna with the gold plates.

That reminds me, I saw a 996 droptop that was yellow in color and the plate just blended in. From a distance it looked like the numbers were etched onto the cars rear bumper, and as I got closer I saw that it had the new plate. Looked very cool though

I have no doubt in my mind the new plates will look stunning on Rio. But NYS takes enough of my money already...I ain't giving more if I don't have to.

New lip. New splitter. Finished the last bolt, stood back to have a look and wondered wtf I was thinking when I bought the thing. Removed the splitter right then because it makes the car undriveable. Will be for sale soon.
