First mods



Wind deflector delete. Laminar air flow restored! [That's an aero joke.]



Also deleted 1.25 deer whistles [remnants = the black squares in front of the upper grille].



Tires are aired up.


Floor mats & windows cleaned.



Oh, and I confirmed the sway bar end links are the likely source of the front end clunking on bumps - I can rattle them by hand. Apparently it's a common issue.


That's enough Fit monkeying for this weekend.
