Hids, lowering, or rims...
soo im in a bit of a struggle right now. for the next 2 months, i have enough money to do 1 thing to my fit.

either i
1) go to peter's place and get a HID kit for $120 with his installation.
2) order skunk2 lowering springs and have a few friends help me install (note, jason, and whoever wants to help) which are $176.99 on the skunk2 website.
3) i called up JLB motorsports and asked them about prices on pick ups and they offered me some Konig Kaiten in 15x6.5 4x100 in Matte Black for $299
cash picked up.

question is, i either get rims and just rims. or get either option 1 or 2 and get the red jdm honda badges as well...





lol my ghetto weld-on muffler that no one knows what kind it is... but its loud for some reason

HIDs last. I would say rims first. Even if you lower your car right away, you'll still need to get it aligned
oh wait... better get peter's lights before they sell out! haha

no he sold them already

Do 1 and 2 since you can pick up Skunks springs used on this site for around 100. You should have enough left to get your alignment . Should bring your total to around what option 3 is.

He's right! I got rims before lowering it and I noticed it every time I walked to the car. The gap seemed to get bigger and bigger (to me) until I lowered it LOL!

I'd lower it first.
