Alright folks, I'm been in the process of my makeover for the fit. So I'll start with the pictures of what the car use to look like, and after this week, makeover phase 1 should be done, and it should be a drastic change. Hope you guys like the makeover, but anyways here is my story and what my fit will use to look like

Alright so I flew over to the OC from Houston to purchase my car.
Here is a pic outside from the plane.

and than in the airport, and that's all I had. A couple set of clothes in my backpack. The JW airport looked so nice compare to IAH in Houston.

Next we head to the bank and stuff and do all the paperwork, but I didn't get any pics. Now I call Bitoy about the headlights. In his yard, with the stock headlights and how the car looked like when i purchase it.

after a couple of hours, we were done. And now we head to Walmart to buy misc items for the long roadtrip ahead of us.

and a couple of things we saw, like some river and hoover dam and of course the desertttttt....lol

had to get off the freeway, since the hid's had problems as the right side light kept on flickering and turning off. Did some crap, and it seem to stay so off we go!

and next day, same stuff, just desert....lol

After about 2,000+ miles, we arrive home in houston, and than next week, I'll showcase the make over. Some will probably like the before, but the make over is what more of what I am

update*

So I got felix's 15's fab expand wheels in the mail, and I test them on at the shop. Notice the rear poking out?! lol, such a nice offset on these wheels with them out so aggressively. The angle didn't capture how agressive the fronts were too. Too bad I sold them them and moving onto my third wheel, this weekend when they should arrive! Can't wait...lol

ps don't mind the red hood...lol it's in for paint real soon as they are prepping up my bodykit first and than going to prep up the hood. Oh yea and the side of the door when i ran into a wall

another update with my new suspension setup! teaser pics, will have more detail pics on it

my third set of wheels and these are 18x8.0 lol

Wow what a journey man.

Long trips are probably the thing i like most about the fit!

lol...I was on a waiting list for the 08 fits here in Houston, and I was like, forget it, I'm going to go find a use one on a fit forum. I google and found this site and saw this white one. I tried to find any other white ones around the area but there was just nothing. I said f##k it, let's go to Cali with my friend, and that's the journey started

I don't know bitoy personally, and he only has one fit. Sorry, what I mean is I purchase the fit from someone else and after we got done with the paperwork, I called Bitoy(William) up. Such a good sport and installed the headlights for me.

So basically I got my first mod on the car in about 25 minutes of the bank and driving to his house and trying to figure out the directions in Cali...lolz

I love road trips in the fit. Thats why i like going to the Texas meets. Cuz its fun to drive. I was going to put 20k miles on my car in the first year. But since i got hurt i can't drive anymore till like end of oct. i'll have to settle for 15k

This was a little while ago cause Bitoy doesn't rock those Drag wheels anymore.

+ rep!

I love how retro-fitted headlights look, but I'm too lazy to do it myself

All the mods really flow well together, esp the hood and spoiler. Oh, and your rims aren't bad either
