No trickle charger.

Should be going to lunch at noon so we shall see what happens then. Guess I can ride out to the car parts store to have the batt tested.

Car started up just fine. According the the batt indicator, the batt is fine.

Better pics of the rear bumper.

Nice touch with the plasti Nomar.

I want to make it glossy black match with the piece below the rear glass. That will prob be a spring time project.

Eventually I want to do the pillars glossy black as well.

Forgot to mention that I bought some LED bulbs for the fog lamps and a shift knob. Spent a whole $15 total on both items thanks to eBay, lol.

Don't expect much from the fog but just want to get an idea about color matching to the headlights.

Did you think about trying the plasti glossifier? It might do the trick. Probably easier than vinyl if that's what you were going to do instead.

Yeah, I was thinking of going that route.

Can I get '13 Fit added to the thread title please?

How much? Keep in my that this R32 is 10 years old right now and maintenance is a lot more expensive. It's tempting, but not worth it IMO.

trade fit or dragon toy?

Wish it could be a toy but it would be a trade on the Fit. Still need to see the numbers on what I can get on the Fit to make this possible or not.

Yeah, I know all too well the Euro car maint but it's not super crazy on this VR6 motor like it would be on the VW turbo motors, but there is still more maint items than a Honda. The Haldex 4wd it an extra service but it's not too pricey and interval is 40k miles. This particular car just had it done yesterday at the dealership. The price is pretty good, esp with the low mileage(74k).

I just want a hatch with some go power.....lol

Yeah the VR6 motor is reliable unlike the turbocharged engines from VW. 74k miles is not a lot for a ten year old car, I assume the price is between $17k-22K.
