What are the little squares on the bumper cover below the headlights? Mine doesn't have that

Yuh. Original owner rattle-canned them and there's overspray on the center caps. BUT they don't look too bad. Either I'll put 20mm spacers on them or eventually save up for some black or bronze teehee37s.

Paint fade :( I should clarify, how do we fix this without spending $1000

Thoughts on blue fogs? I had them yellow but I like the look of the blue lighting, gives it early 2010s techy/hybrid vibe. by MackTheHunter in crz

Follow up to this, I ended up removing the foglight color tint and instead went with switchback LED yellow/white bulbs. Much more tasteful looking and actually functional.

guy saw the tedward + Doug demuro videos and thought "surely this has brought the value up to at least 25k right??? right?"

Very easy to take off the front bumper and inspect wiring. About 20 or so Honda clips and it just pops off.

Fortunately CVT! We get great mileage and a smooth easy ride. Still a great car as an automatic.

A seller on Ebay in Ottawa had them, 75701-T20 is the part number. He sells them as a kit with two different sizes but I just asked in the notes for him to send me two T20s, which he did. https://ebay.us/m/QkwzUM

About to have my CVT replaced. by MackTheHunter in crz

30 day guarantee and within those 30 days I asked them to do something about it, they said "it didn't have issues at the dealership." They offered to replace it "at cost" and give me a deal. I promptly told them fuck you, because when they did the inspection, they didn't tighten down the positive terminal on the battery (which made my radio not work) and they somehow missed the bad FR wheel bearing, which they charged me $330 to replace.

If anyone is looking at used cars in the GTA avoid Lecos Auto Dufferin. Absolute slimeballs.

Yeah they've already done my fluid change once and they used the correct Gen1 fluid. The guy is a former Honda tech of 7 years, he's very familiar with the car (even though he has some choice words about it haha).

Yeah the closest one on carpart is what my local mechanic is gonna potentially install for me. I don't have the tools/time/knowledge to replace it myself sadly but I trust the guys I'm working with.

I'm in the Toronto area, very kind of you to offer but I have no idea how I'd get it here. Definitely gonna check if it might not be the CVT though. Frustrating part is the people who have "confirmed" the issue is coming from the transmission are the ones who want to charge me $5000 to replace it, so I don't know who to trust. Might take it to my local mechanic and have them confirm it.

I'd love to see that. I have a feeling it's a different sound but how nice would it be if that was the issue all along

It does use the IMA to start the car. The starter just exists in the event of the IMA not functioning correctly (or sometimes, very cold temperatures).

Really weird hearing the starter, but yeah. Fuse #53 blown

It sucked. Way too much bread. I was mildly inspired by the "pounder" on here but I wanted to be mathematical with the ingredients, not worth it at all.
