Hi Burzpaw,

The Brake Pad and the Rotor have a lot of surface area,
it should be quite more powerful than stock setup!
The Slotted rotor also looks very nice.

What color do you plan to use for the caliper and the center part of the rotor?


on the other hand,
I spent whole day trying to learn how to do alignment myself using my QuickTrick alignment tools...
ends up with too much negative camber ,
so tomorrow had to dial back a bit,
at least I fix my steering wheel from drifting to the right to slightly drifting to the left now so had to do toe in again tomorrow too

Yea the rotors are an inch bigger in diameter than stock. And thanks! I'm just gunna paint the calipers black.
Let me know once you feel experienced with them, maybe I can just pay you for alignments

Haha yea definitely!

Thanks! It's my instagram name. The bear my spirit animal(self proclaimed) and "burzpaw" is how I ended up spelling "bear's paw" with a "Z" in it. If you take a look at my watermark that are on the pictures I take, it has a bear's paw on it too haha.

Thanks haha, I ordered another sticker from the same guy for the other side. It's Slowpoke saying "Looks Slow!"

I'm sure you can get someone to design something if it hasn't already been made

Cool Plates Z!

Car is going to be sick for Wekfest.

I respect the black calipers, but you could paint match them teal too

I once saw a minivan with a sticker,
I used to be cool...

I see a website selling that sticker...
I was thinking of putting it on my car,... but I don't like the font design
so I decided not to...

Got a roof rack and replaced my cabin air filter - definitely needed that.

Will be adding a basket in the next week or two. We've been taking the Fit to a bunch of different state & national parks and could use the extra storage so that we can turn the back into a bed. Plus, I think it's going to look bad ass

PM me a picture of the sticker. I can re-design the sticker if you want and in a font you like.

Mugen spoiler
Mugen winker mirror covers
Mugen trunk Mat
Mugen wheels (but I know he wouldn't change his current wheels).
Nah, believe me if there was something else I wanted I would have bought it. I honestly have nothing else I want

I might redo my roof vinyl but that's about it

Whoah it's only been that long haha nice I've had mine since 2011 but I've been a student the whole time so I guess it makes sense haha

I want to redo my roof too but I've taken vinyl off my roof before and it was a pain
