What did you do to your GE fit today?
Junkyard is the answer! Not sure why I didn't think of that lol. Thanks
Can you get a pic of how they line up with the fender? I like how they fill your wheel gap pretty good too and you're just on Tein S-techs right? Also are those rallyarmor mudflaps?
This is an excellent idea for the door sills. Got a link for the material you used? Maybe I should just plastidip mine like I did the front and rear bumpers.
As for me I removed the extension on my shifter just to feel what it would be like without it. I think it feels more natural, especially with the Mugen short shifter. My shifts appear to be smoother with the shorter throws as well, maybe I'm fooling myself but they sure feel more consistent than with the extension.
Also due to the front end paint chips I've been really considering Plasti-dipping my car this "Real Red" Metallic pearl from dipyourcar.com. Think its probably the closest thing to Milano red available. I'd like to stick close to red to avoid the whole different color when I open my door/hood/trunk thing. My OCD would kill me for doing that. Just havent decided about paying someone to do it, or to buy the DIY kit and do it myself. DIY would be cheaper by a few hundred and I don't have access to a "clean" room....but I'd be able to do future re-dips myself instead of paying someone full price again. I guess I worry about dust and what not, but my existing dipped bumpers came out dust free....but granted those are small areas vs an ENTIRE car.

The wheel gap is a bit much for my taste, but I only intend to use the 15's at the track. The extra wheel gap will help, so when the car body rolls it won't chew up the fender liner like 16's.
Sorry no photos any time soon. The wheels are sitting in a plastic bin in my room until race day. But I will be sure to take loads more photos then with decent angles and lighting.
Yes the universal rally armor mud flaps in red. I had to chop them a good bit to fit in the wheel well, but for about 30 bucks it was worth it.
Saturday afternoon received a couple packages...
Volk Racing TE37 Sonic 15x7+35 and 15x6.5+45
Took these and my first set of MF10Ls to a tire shop and had them swap the new RE71Rs (195/55R15) over to the TEs.
Sunday morning, I swapped the Advan RZs out to the TEs.
Afterwards, took it and gave it a much needed shower.
Brought it back home and after some clay bar usage broke out the Flex and gave it a 4 step cleaning with Meguiars 101 and 205, followed with Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish sealant and the last step by hand with Blackfire Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba paste wax.

Flat head self tapping screws with wide washers. Drill directly into the side skirt.
CAUTION:
Do not mount in the middle of the side skirt but slightly to the inside.
Because the rounded bottoms of the side skirt if you drill directly in the middle you will see part of the screw as it pokes through.
