Bought me a fit

racecarshots · #1 (**permalink**) 05-11-2008, 05:23 PM

Put my RPF1's on it.

The idiots at the dealer put a screw hole in my bumper so I am stuck with the front plate unless I get a body kit I guess. heh.

jsut took this with my G9 on a crappy cruddy mornign but it goes well with the color heh.

I guess I need to lower this thing too!

Congrads on your Fit and welcome to the forum. I don't know why the dealership attaches that front plate when many states don't require them. Good reason for getting a new lip!

Cat :x

Yeah, a drop will make it look even better.

Congrats on the new car, I see you picked the best color

Hmmm, RPF1's as a first mod.... somebody knows what they are doing!

This photo was taken with a Cannon G9?

its looks better but illegal & it attracts the cops eye when they see it on ur dash and not ur front bumper. n still u get a ticket for it

why put a hole in the front bumper, is it needed to hold the plate, i thought the front had two holes for a plate bracket under the bumper, ive seen the holes and have the plate holder, but have never installed it so i dont know if the hole in bumper is needed, i live if florida, no front plates. i would take it back and make them give me new bumper if they didnt have to put holes in the bumper.

The RPF1's are leftovers from my Miata. That is why they are wrapped with Toyo T1R's. Probably not good for mileage though, gotta replace those tires (but it sure is fun!)

I have a 30D but carry my G9 everywhere and just stopped at this spot to take pics randomly. I like the G9 a lot. But I am sure I will sometime soon drag the real camera out to shoot this car.

Japspeed - yeah there is a bracket there that would hold a plate perfectly fine without the hole in the bumper. I would have just run an offset front plate, but oh well.

i thought they changed it where the holes are hidden underneath the bumper? that's how mines came in.

there are 2 under but there is a spot for one in the middle that they decide they just HAD to use.

no offense, but i think it's the quality of your picture made him have doubts about the camera you're referring to.

Both of your cameras are really good cameras.

well I did fiddle with it kinda to make it look like, well, crappy, i guess but in a way I try to make it look. heh. add noise and mess with it and crap.

so it dun matter.

but it does make me want to go take more pics of it jsut to get some pretty ones. heh. maybe i will try a night shoot I have been itching to do. gotta find a pitch black spot over looking a busy street though heh.
