Dont be a gurly man!!!

I did some quick, cheap stuff to the GK to make it a bit less girly, and more kickass looking. I hate the cheap look of hubcaps, so i took those off and am now rocking the steelies. I bought some pretty cheap acorn style lug nuts (black). And I bought some plastic center caps that go in the wheel hub so they're not exposed and showing ugly rust. I also had some brake caliper paint (black) laying around, so I sprayed the front two calipers (no need for the back because they're drum and already black). The whole job took about and hour and cost me $6 for the center caps, $25 for the lug nuts, so about $30 all together. The result is one hour and thirty bucks later and your fit is no longer just a grocery getter but a kickass looking grocery getter.

LOL sorry I misread the question. These are the ones I used. Plus the load resistors they offer.

I found this screen protector for my head unit for only $1.50.
It's definitely a quality screen protector that almost looks as if it's not even there.
For those of you who live in California, Texas, or Washington check your nearest Daiso Japan store

No rubbing at all unless I hit a really nasty dip.

With the 42 offset and 195/50r16 tires running a spacer will rub on that cheap cloth fender linear. I tried running one but it had to come off right away.

Where did you get the Japanese cup holder phone mount? Did you order it or find it in Los Angeles?

That looks like a great solution!

"your fit is no longer just a grocery getter but a kickass looking grocery getter."

That looks great! Where did you get your center caps and what color are the breaks originally?
