I had "PASS ME" and "70 MPG" on the old Civic Wagon. The Insight has a strobing 3rd brake light. I ordered a custom "67 HP" sticker, but haven't put it on yet. Of course there's an EcoModder sticker!

I personally would balance the wheel weight left to right. It probably isn't a big deal, but I'd do it anyway. I'd also wager the OEM alloys are in the ballpark of 9-11lbs, but less is possible -...
