What did you do to your GK Fit today?
#781
Preparing for next year's car show season. My crude mock up of my VIP table for the Gen3. Just working out the details on mounting it. The table it self will differ in design once completed. A rear center console with armrest for the passengers in the rear is also in the works. Please note, this item is intended for show or off road use only.
Also love the seat covers. Is that a leather cover on the armrest?

Those would be the Clazzio seat covers. Quilted Black on Black. Comes with everything including the armrest cover. They use a different thread in the airbag area's which they claim won't effect the use of the airbags.

New on-the-road tool kit
Wife and I were bailed out of an overnight delay by a kindly young man and his Dad in their pick-up in June, stuck in mid-NC with a dangling engine splash screen, and no tools. So, while visiting Advance Auto Parts today, I noticed their cut-rate tool table and assembled an emergency tool kit for permanent residence in our Fit. It is small enough to tuck neatly into my cargo carrier. Shooting for the basics here (will also slip in my vintage metric socket wrench set), but any suggestions for additionally needed items would be appreciated. Happy Trails!

Larger items that won't fit in your tool kit but you may need: jumper cables, medical kit, tire pump. Can't think of anything else right now.

After coming across the interior LED conversion thread I decided to give it a go. Added white LEDs to the front cabin, cargo area, and license plate. I added a blue LED above the rear seats and have it set so that's the only one that turns on when the door is open. I initially tried the blue in the front as well but as you'd expect, it was very impractical.

Ask and ye shall receive.
I don't have a picture of the back, but both the black and the red stripe on the grill are PlastiDip.
Lots more in my build thread.

Chrome Elimination Phase 1
Hey all!
This weekend I had to take apart my bumper and passenger headlight fixture to reset the headlight. I got into a small fender bender and I really didn't have the money to cover my deductible, and since it wouldn't void the pre-owned warranty, I just decided to JB Plastiweld, and reattach the bumper since everything was still intact (save the headlight mounts)
So in "classic Fuzz" fashion (as my friends would say/call me) I decided to do a little chrome elimination because...well...I despise chrome and think it looks tackier than a six cylinder Mustang with flames. (or any mustang, really)
Enter the plastidip (or in this case the Rustoleum Peel Coat).
I covered the chrome on the front and back, and reversed the badges.
I dig the way it looks:
I'm going to black out the chrome on the plate frame, as well.
the side I fixed
I'm going to look closely at the laws in Massachusetts because I'm fairly certain it's legal to have smoked lights so long as your headlights reach 30+ feet in front of your vehicle.
For anyone curious: It is TOTALLY LEGAL to have exterior, non-blinking, lights on your passenger car so long as they are not Red or Blue, and your plate is visible from a minimum of 30 feet away in the state of Massachusetts. (I checked because I want to put purple ground effects and plate lights on my car... talk about tacky :P)
But in addition; I'm going to black the rims, get a plate cover, and pull the FIT and Atamian badges off. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
Also: does anyone know a good way to take the silver trim off the dash? I'd love to either black or white those out, but I don't want to pull my whole car apart to do it.
